1. Shenny de los Angeles, FF Fund Recipient 2020-21, at Mabou Mines, Manhattan, Dec. 9-11
FF Fund Recipient 2020-21 Shenny de los Angeles presents:
What Happens to Brown Girls Who Never Learn How to Love Themselves Brown? is a live- ritual performance that explores a Dominican-American femme’s journey to self love through her relationship with her mother and their hair. By breaking the generational curse of relaxing one’s hair, is it possible to forgive the women before you for what they didn’t know?
Location:
Mabou Mines
150 First Avenue,
NYC 10009
Date: December 9, 10, 11
Time: 7pm EST
Shenny de Los Angeles is a Dominican-American interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. Her work focuses on healing generational trauma, inviting every hurt to free itself into joy. Shenny centralizes Dominican women/femmes in her writing; affirming the beauty in being alive, as we are a miracle to witness. Her work has been featured at the Hot Docs Film Festival, Latina Magazine, Latinx Playwright Circle, Caribbean Writers, and The United Nations to name a few! Currently, Shenny is an Artist in Residence at Brooklyn Arts Exchange, where she is also developing this show. The process of working on this ritual-play soon became the inspiration for creating her short film “the ritual to beauty,” which was awarded Best Film for AluCine Latin Film Festival 2021 and is currently screening with the Dominican Film Festival 2021. Learn more about her work on IG: @angeloftonuge

6. Dan Kwong, FF Alumn, now online at Vimeo and KCET.org
This year saw the culmination of two of Dan’s documentary video projects, both of which have been in progress for over two years:
“We Were All Here”
(Writer, Director, Editor)
To view the videos, please visit the following website:
https://vimeo.com/567181046
Thank you.
In “We Were All Here”, Kwong shares the multicultural history of his neighborhood (home of 18th Street Arts Center), as told through the journey of the Casillas family from Jalisco, Mexico to Santa Monica, California. Due to discriminatory practices in housing, the neighborhood (known as “La Veinte”) would evolve into the heart of the Mexican American community of Santa Monica and home to most of the city’s communities of color. Through the lens of one family’s experience, “We Were All Here” honors the solidarity across cultures that has historically arisen in working-class neighborhoods, as well as the steep price paid for lack of political power in those same communities.

“Con Safos”
(Executive Producer)
For more information, please visit the following website:
https://www.kcet.org/shows/artbound/episodes/con-safos
Thank you.
A pioneer of Chicano rock ‘n’ roll, Rubén “Funkahuatl” Guevara recounts his life in music, performance art and activism — from his beginnings as a singer in the doo-wop group The Apollo Brothers, to his collaborations with Frank Zappa and Cheech & Chong, to his crossover into the performance art world — all of which helped define and shape contemporary Chicano culture.
Having directed Ruben’s 2016 solo stage performance based on his autobiography, “Confessions of a Radical Chicano Doo-Wop Singer”, Dan worked closely with Ruben’s son, filmmaker Ruben Guevara III, to help bring this documentary to fruition for KCET’s award-winning “Artbound” series.

On view in New Jersey through December 11:
Tech/Know/Future/Montclair University Gallery https://www.montclair.edu/galleries/exhibitions/techknowfuture/
Tech/Know/Future/ From Slang to Structure places the viewer at the intersection of the past, present, and future. Eleven diverse, cross-disciplinary artists establish new relationships among technology, knowledge, and time through augmented reality, artificial intelligence, sound, video, textiles and works on paper.
Curator: Tom Leeser, Director of the Art and Technology Program and the Center for Integrated Media, CalArts
Tech/Know/Future/ From Slang to Structure is a critical response to technological systems within art addressing the issues of identity, history and abstraction, placing the viewer at the intersection of the past, present and future. Eleven diverse cross-disciplinary artists will use their creative practices to establish new relationships among technology, knowledge and time through augmented reality, artificial intelligence, sound, video, textiles and works on paper.
The exhibition is curated by Tom Leeser, Director of the Art and Technology Program and the Center for Integrated Media at CalArts, who will bring together a group of innovative artists including: Morehshin Allahyari, Salome Asega, Nancy Baker Cahill, Stephanie Dinkins, Carla Gannis, Taehee Kim, LoVid, Amelia Marzec, Olivia Mole, Sondra Perry, and Casey Reas.
Tech/Know/Future is an examination of humanity’s particular moment in time amidst a newfound era of social and political upheaval. Humanity stands at a crossroads between its past attachment to technology’s promise and a precarious, vague future. The artists who comprise this exhibition are compelling and provocative: their work collectively maps future territories of uncommon knowledge, digitally reconstituted iconographies of the present, and short-circuited networks of the past.
The exhibition draws inspiration from the essay “Iconic Treatise Gothic Futurism” by the late writer, artist and musician Rammellzee, and the book After the Future by the Italian cultural theorist Bifo Berardi. Rammellzee designed a “technological language” to challenge the art world’s conventional approaches to image-making and writing. Berardi defines the future as a “cultural construction” of a materialistic, superficial twentieth-century society. He declares the mythology of the future is over, with the rise of global capitalism and its powerful “imaginary effects” to blame. Berardi’s post-future is a dematerialized, infinite present, a virtual space and time.

Online Event
December 12, 2021
Organized by Christof Migone
For the full programme go to -AND- or you and I are water earth fire air of life and death. Contact: christofmigone@gmail.com
Second in a series of twelve annual events taking place on December 12 from 12 noon to midnight (EST). Each year the event will move through each word of the 12-word phrase ‘you and I are water earth fire air of life and death’ and activate the word of the year in myriad ways. This year the word is ‘and’, consequently the focus is on repetitions, conjunctions, and duos. Last year it started with ‘you’, this year we connect you to anything and everything, you are together-with. Or, we get stuck in the very act that ‘and’ opens up, into the enormity that the so-what-next that ‘and’ implies. ‘And’ is all possibilities in a nutshell.

On view through March 10, 2022
Please visit the following website:
https://www.bemiscenter.org/events/winter-2021-exhibition-opening-reception
Thank you.
Exhibiting Artists:
Ingrid Bachmann, Crystal Z Campbell, Jean-Charles de Quillacq, Heather Dewey-Hagborg, Flis Holland, Oliver Husain, Stephanie Dinkins, Celina Eceiza, Adham Faramawy, Mounir Fatmi, Pedro Neves Marques, Rodney McMillian, Bridget Moser, Berenice Olmedo, Kerstin Schroedinger, Jenna Sutela, Ana Torfs, and Francis Upritchard
Have you ever considered the interplay between the body and hospitality? Ever wondered how hospitality might be fleshed out or embodied?
Developed for Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts by 2019-2021 Curator-in-Residence Sylvie Fortin, this ambitious group exhibition brings together the works of 18 contemporary artists to explore corporeal hospitality. Hospitality is usually considered a philosophical concept with juridical implications, an ethical concern, or a social/political practice. This group exhibition shifts the focus to consider the stealth work of hospitality on our conceptual, physical, political, and historical understanding of bodies. In the process, it reveals a storied genealogy that points to the extractive intersection of race, gender, class, religion, and value. I don’t know you like that: The Bodywork of Hospitality excavates this legacy and imagines other more-than-human hospitable modalities.
