Each mirror is an altar to one of my ancestors\, activating their power. In the mirrors\, the viewer is called to experience five Divine Mothers and hear their stories. Each mirror overflows\, brimming with wisdom and ancestral messages. My calling: to embody their genius and liberate our ancestral line. I invite you to join me in this freedom process. Each story is accompanied by a decolonization ritual. By the end of the night\, you'll meet your inner Road Opener\, Warrior\, Magician\, Lover\, and King and access the inner power necessary to become the hero of your own decolonization journey." \n\n\n\nFeatured artists include: Sherina Rodriguez Sharpe\, Shashu Amen-Ra\, Veronique Eason\, TETRA\, and Chace Morris. \n\n\n\nThis performance is presented as a part of the A2AC Gallery's exhibition We are here because you were there co-presented by \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLEARN MORE ABOUT WE ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE URL:https://www.annarborartcenter.org/event/sherina-rodriguez-sharpe-genesis/ LOCATION:Ann Arbor District Library\, 343 S 5th Ave\, Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, 48104\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibitions,Performances ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.annarborartcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Sherina-Genesis-rescheduled-events.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240308T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240308T190000 DTSTAMP:20260404T001147 CREATED:20240220T132043Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240301T234407Z UID:10000105-1709917200-1709924400@www.annarborartcenter.org SUMMARY:Film Screening of "Who Killed Vincent Chin?" & Q/A at the AADL DESCRIPTION:On a hot summer night in Detroit in 1982\, Ronald Ebens\, an autoworker\, killed Vincent Chin\, a young Chinese American draftsman with a baseball bat.

I'm Ellie.   \n\n\n\nI grew up in Ann Arbor\, Michigan\, and made my way through many careers before realizing that I wanted to work in a kitchen.   \n\n\n\nI received my BFA in Photography from the Stamps School of Art and Design in 2003\, and a few years later moved out to Brooklyn with my sister to pursue a career in photography.   \n\n\n\nIn New York\, I worked for an amazing photographer named Sheila Metzner who played a crucial role in my development as an artist.  \n\n\n\nIn 2011 I moved back to Ann Arbor\, and started working for the Ann Arbor Film Festival. \n\n\n\nI have always worked in restaurants\, and I taught myself how to cook\, bake and decorate along the way. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s  that I realized this was my creative outlet all along.   \n\n\n\nIn 2016 I left my job at the AAFF and enrolled in the Culinary Arts program at Schoolcraft College.  During my time at Schoolcraft I worked for some amazing instructors\, who helped me refine my skills and pushed me to become the chef I am today.  \n\n\n\nWebsite\n\nFacebook\n\nInstagram\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLILAC AND BLUSH\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhi\, i’m nora\, the owner and artisan of lilac and blush. \n\n\n\ni am forever inspired by color and texture- i am endlessly entertained by the gradations of a sunset and i love wandering through the pages of a design magazine- so it brings me great joy to assemble flowers and bouquets with a creative spirit\, an eye for aesthetics\, and attention to detail. \n\n\n\nwith scissors\, glue\, and a rainbow of italian crepe paper\, i transform paper to petal as i handcraft each piece of the flower and build each blossom. i handcut\, sculpt\, and carefully place all of the petals\, sepals\, and leaves- i love the mix of creativity and precision of paper flowers as well as the magic when form and charm are born from a simple piece of paper and a dose of handiwork. \n\n\n\nlilac and blush was born in 2020 during early corona when i was able to devote more time to the business itself after several years of diving into the art of creating paper flowers. lilac and blush are colors that i featured in an early collection and in an early bouquet in which i felt the beautiful and intuitive journey of colors and blooms come alive.when i’m not making paper flowers you can find me dreaming of new orleans\, searching for moments of kindness and connection\, watching cheers\, wandering trails and shorelines\, waiting for opening day of baseball\, listening to mt joy and lord huron\, learning tarot\, or forever starting a new book. \n\n\n\nit has been a pleasure to bring lilac and blush to life and to bring a little beauty to the world through paper and flowers. thank you for stopping by- enjoy exploring! \n\n\n\nWebsite\n\nFacebook\n\nInstagram URL:https://www.annarborartcenter.org/event/a2ac-shop-spring-pop-up/ LOCATION:A2AC (Ann Arbor Art Center)\, 117 W Liberty\, Ann Arbor\, MI\, 48104\, United States CATEGORIES:Shop Events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.annarborartcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Spring-Pop-Up-24-events.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20240515T070000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20240515T070000 DTSTAMP:20260404T001147 CREATED:20240410T174616Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240410T174636Z UID:10000116-1715756400-1715756400@www.annarborartcenter.org SUMMARY:Summer Art Classes Open for Members DESCRIPTION:Summer Art Classes open for A2AC Members on Wednesday\, May 15\, at 7am.
