Description

Join us for another beautiful partnership with the New Wave Artist- in- Residence Program! We'll be exploring and making a 1-min climate change documentary: research, script writing, costume making, wildlife videography, voice over recording. The artist-in-residence will edit these together and screen them publicly during the Palm Beach County Open Studios on May 20. For all ages 5 years and up. Young kids must be accompanied by a caregiver. Wear comfortable clothes to move in! About New Wave: New Wave’s mission is to foster a vital dialogue around diversity, inclusivity, immigration, and equal rights for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ communities through public programs and by hosting an artist-in-residence program for emerging artists from underrepresented communities. Founded by Sarah Gavlak with collaborators and an advisory board that includes Beth Rudin DeWoody, Amy Phelan, Sanford Biggers, Ann Tenenbaum and Thomas Lee, Franklin Sirmans, Isolde Brielmaier, Yvonne Force Villareal, Jane Holzer, Lisa Perry, and other prominent leaders in the field, New Wave's Residency Program offers artists an apartment and studio space in West Palm Beach for 6 weeks as well as a $5,000 stipend to be spent as the artist wishes. New Wave Art Wknd is a non-commercial art weekend featuring extraordinary private collection visits, curated meals, lectures, and robust public programming. Designed to showcase the flourishing contemporary art scene in South Florida, NWAW follows the Vernissage of Miami Art Week each year. The weekend offers a platform to discuss issues in contemporary art and society in Palm Beach, where these conversations often need to happen most. About the incredible artist Nina: Nina Sarnelle (she/they) is an artist and musician living on stolen Tongva/Kizh land that is often referred to as Los Angeles. Their artwork includes participatory performances, music composition, video and sculpture, and interfaces with sites of neocolonialism(s), ecological destruction and labor exploitation in strange and intimate ways. Her projects attempt to reconcile powerful abstract systems (mass extinction, fossil fuel extraction, white supremacy, techno-colonialism, violent immigration policies) with the most personal or mundane parts of everyday life. They recently had a solo video exhibition at the New Museum and have shown work at Whitechapel Gallery, Hammer Museum, Getty Center, Ballroom Marfa, MoMA, and others. We read something, we learn something, we share it with the world!" ______________________________________________________________________ About Rohi's Readery (www.rohisreadery.com): Follow us on IG at @rohisreadery The mission of Rohi's Readery is to provide accessibility to all through the love of critical literacy, the talents and gifts of the community, and educational programming.
