Poor People’s Art: A (Short) Visual History of Poverty in the United States at USF Contemporary Art Museum in Tampa uses installations and artworks to tell the story of, and expand perspectives on, The Poor People’s Campaign- from its origins in the late 1960s to the present day form, as well as comment on poverty and other social issues. Both educational and engaging, it shows that despite long struggles and some progress, we are still very far from much needed social change, especially in regards to poverty.

The museum also produced a free full color, 48 page workbook that you can pick up there or download as a PDF that can be downloaded from their website.

From the gallery’s website-

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is well known for his “I Have a Dream” speech, yet much less emphasis is placed on his campaign to seek justice for America’s poor, “The Poor People’s Campaign.” This was a multi-cultural, multi-faith, multi-racial movement aimed at uniting poor people and their allies to demand an end to poverty and inequality. Fifty-three years after Dr. King’s death, the Reverend William Barber II launched a contemporary push to fulfill MLK’s ambitious brief — one that calls for a “revolution of values” that unites poor and impacted communities across the country. The exhibition Poor People’s Art: A (Short) Visual History of Poverty in the United States represents a visual response to Dr. King’s “last great dream” as well as Reverend Barber’s recent “National Call for Moral Revival.”

With artworks spanning more than 50 years, the exhibition is divided into two parts: Resurrection (1968-1994) and Revival (1995-2022). Resurrection includes photographs, paintings, prints, videos, sculptures, books, and ephemera made by a radically inclusive company of American artists, from Jill Freedman’s photographs of Resurrection City, the tent enclave that King’s followers erected on the National Mall in 1968, to John Ahearns’ plaster cast sculpture Luis Fuentes, South Bronx (1979). Revival offers contemporary engagement across a range of approaches, materials, and points of view. Conceived in a declared opposition to poverty, racism, militarism, environmental destruction, health inequities, and other interlocking injustices, this exhibition shows how artists in the US have visualized poverty and its myriad knock-on effects since 1968. Participating artists include John Ahearn, Nina Berman, Martha De la Cruz, Jill Freedman, Rico Gatson, Mark Thomas Gibson, Corita Kent, Jason Lazarus, Miguel Luciano, Hiram Maristany, Narsiso Martinez, Adrian Piper, Robert Rauschenberg, Rodrigo Valenzuela, William Villalongo & Shraddha Ramani, and Marie Watt.

From the museum’s wall plaque about the images from the artists above-

A multimedia visual artist whose work explores themes of history, popular culture, and social justice, Miguel Luciano revisits the history of the Young Lords, a revolutionary group of young Puerto Rican activists who organized for social justice in their communities beginning in the late 1960s. Luciano’s first contribution to Poor People’s Art is a vinyl banner from the public art project Mapping Resistance: The Young Lords in El Barrio (2019), a collaboration with artist Hiram Maristany. It features the photograph “Young Lords Member with Pa’lante Newspaper (1970)” by Maristany, who was the official photographer of the Young Lords and a founding member of the New York chapter. This banner, along with nine other enlarged Maristany photographs, were installed throughout East Harlem at the same locations where their history occurred 50 years prior.

Luciano’s second contribution to Poor People’s Art is the sculpture The People’s Pulpit (2022), a repurposed vintage pulpit from the First Spanish Methodist Church in East Harlem. The Young Lords famously took over the church in 1969 and renamed it “The People’s Church”; they hosted free breakfast programs, clothing drives, health screenings, and other community services there. In this exhibition, The People’s Pulpit features an historic recording of Nuyorican poet Pedro Pietri reciting the celebrated poem Puerto Rican Obituary during the Young Lord’s takeover of The People’s Church.

The central sculpture in the second photo-

Afro-Taino artist Martha De la Cruz fashioned her sculptural installation Techo de sin (Roof of Without), 2021, from stolen, scavenged and donated materials found in Southwest Florida. According to the artist, “Florida is home to a large population of Latin American migrants who have ended up in the US largely due to economic pressures, exploitation and veins of power etched by Europe and the US.” Her powerful work deals with the results of this disjunction and the “symptoms thereabouts (e.g. houselessness, fugitiv-ity, government corruption, and income disparity, etc.).” According to De la Cruz, the word “sin” is a common Dominican mispronunciation for the word “zinc.” The sculpture is animated by a single light bulb that turns on for just ten minutes a day.

From the wall plaque about the Lazarus installation (structure in the 3th, 5th and 6th photos)-

Jason Lazarus’s sculptural installation Resurrection City/Poor People’s Campaign: A National call for Moral Revival/A Third Reconstruction (2023) is anchored in the artist’s historical research and several key photographs of Resurrection City. A tent-like shelter inspired by the temporary residences that populated the 1968 mass protest, the interactive sculpture contains simple sleeping quarters and a curated library filled with physical literature and ephemera centered on both the 1968 Poor People’s Campaign and the 2018 Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, co-led by Rev. Dr.William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis.

The library allows for audiences to trace, listen, and talk about the history of advocating for the poor, from 1865 to the present. Additionally, the artist provides a custom transcription (and a QR hyperlink) to Barber’s 49-minute address on the syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club” in which he carefully outlines his powerful vision for how we might address poverty going forward.

About Jill Freedman’s photograph above-

In the spring of 1968, the talented young street photographer Jill Freedman quit her day job as a copywriter in New York City to join the Poor People’s March on Washington. Freedman lived in Resurrection City for the entire six weeks of the encampment’s existence, photographing its residents as they rallied, made speeches, protested in front of government buildings, confronted police, built makeshift kitchens, organized clothing swaps, and dealt with flooding, petty crime, and illness. One of the most important postwar documentarians, and one of the few women photographers of the era, Freedman captured it all. Freedman’s 2017 book, Resurrection City, 1968-from which this exhibition draws a dozen powerful images-showcases the photographs that she made as a participant in the original Poor People’s Campaign. In multiple ways, Freedman’s images are the sympathetic perch upon much of which much of the present exhibition loosely hangs.

This exhibition closes 3/4/23.

DC Legacy

The basic premise of this is that the time has come for older heroes to step down and the next generation take their place. Clark Kent is now the editor and owner of the Daily Planet and vows to lead them into the future while keeping their dedication to the truth. Diana Prince is now Queen of the Amazons and has relinquished her title as Wonder Woman though she still joins the Justice Society when needed. Bruce Wayne has become mayor of Gotham City and intends to use the power of the office to fight crime at the root. However the intensified spotlight means he must give up the cowl. Others such as Oliver Queen have stepped down from active duty to become teachers to the next generation, passing down their skills and knowledge.

If you want a meeting, ask for a meeting. Provide some time options and ask for a specified length. If you want an introduction, ask for an introduction. If you’re looking for funding, tell him you’re currently fundraising and ask to meet to show him your pitch. Don’t be sly. Don’t hint. Make the process ridiculously easy by just asking for what you want.

Anat Cohen

Claroscuro

Anzic Records, 2012

Anat Cohen: Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Soprano & Tenor Saxophone Jason Lindner: Piano Joe Martin: Bass Daniel Freedman: Drums Paquito D’Rivera: Clarinet (5,7,9 & 10) Wycliffe Gordon: Trombone (2 & 7), Vocal (2) Gilmar Gomes: Percussion (6, 9 & 10)         

Art begets art on Anat Cohen's Claroscuro. The Israeli-born, New York-based multi-reedist leaves the confines of Benny Goodman's world behind, following her clarinet-only sojourn into king of swing territory, Clarinetwork: Live At The Village Vanguard (Anzic, 2010), with a wide-ranging musical treatise on the balance between light and dark. Cohen addresses each end of the color spectrum on its own terms during this eleven-song program but, more often than not, plays one off the other within a single performance. She's savvy enough to know that dark doesn't exist without light and that the contrast and marriage between the two is what makes them stand apart. Jason Lindner's "Anat's Dance" opens the program and focuses on Cohen's sunny clarinet work, Lindner's moody piano and the shifting rhythmic terra firma that morphs beneath them. Cohen's bass clarinet connects with Paquito D'Rivera's clarinet as they move over a primal percussion foundation on her "Kick Off, while pan-global rhythmic purpose and open exploration collide on drummer Daniel Freedman's "All Brothers." These prove to be the only originals on this album, but originality resides in every second of music. Cohen delivers her most soulful tenor performance to date on "The Wedding," produces some poignant soprano work at the start of "Tudo Que Voce Podia Ser," and walks a line between seductive and mournful on "As Rosas Nao Falam." She shares a deep and abiding love for choro music with D'Rivera ("Um A Zero"), engages in a Louis Armstrong-based love affair with trombonist/vocalist Wycliffe Gordon ("La Vie En Rose") and calls on her famous Cuban clarinet companion again for a trip through clarinetist Artie Shaw's psychosis-slathered theme song ("Nightmare"). Both men join Cohen on one track, Dr. Lonnie Smith's "And The World Weeps," and the results are electric; the song goes from mannered dirge to bluesy epic in Duke Ellingtonian fashion. Cohen's omnivorous musical persona is well-documented on Notes From The Village (Anzic, 2008), where she jumped from saxophonist John Coltrane and singer Sam Cooke to pianist Fats Waller with ease, and Noir (Anzic, 2007), where she hit a homerun merging "Samba de Orfeu" and "Struttin' With Some Barbeque," but she works the musical diversity concept in a different way on this one. Notes From The Village was pleasing in a hard-to-pin-down way and Noir was fueled by passion, but Claroscuro succeeds on poise and shapeliness. The unrestrained enthusiasm that Cohen beautifully exhibits in other places is replaced here by a more deliberate and controlled balance of highs and lows, ups and downs....and light and dark. Claroscuro is a colorful date that confirms what's already been said about Anat Cohen on numerous occasions: she's one of a kind.

Cinderella September-through-November: Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella" (1997 TV musical)

Now we reach the third televised version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, which for children of the '90s and 2000s has the biggest cult following of them all. It premiered on ABC's Wonderful World of Disney in 1997, co-produced by Whitney Houston, and featuring an all-star and – in a choice both praised and mocked over the years – colorblind cast. This cast is headed by Houston herself as the Fairy Godmother and 18-year-old R&B sensation Brandy in the role of Cinderella.

All of the classic songs from the original 1957 musical are retained here, although "The Prince is Giving a Ball" and "The Royal Dressing Room Scene" are combined into one number, as a showcase for Jason Alexander in the new comic role of the long-suffering royal steward Lionel. But just as the 1965 remake added one new song, this version adds three other songs from Richard Rodgers' catalogue. "The Sweetest Sounds" from No Strings becomes a distant duet for Cinderella and Prince Christopher (Filipino-American newcomer Paolo Montalbán), expressing their dreams of love. "Falling In Love With Love" from Rodgers and Hart's The Boys from Syracuse is sung by the Stepmother (Bernadette Peters), bringing some new depth to her role by portraying her as a former romantic left bitter and jaded by her two husbands' deaths. Last but not least, "There's Music In You" from the film Main Street to Broadway becomes the grand musical finale, sung by the Fairy Godmother watching over Cinderella's wedding.

The musical also gets a new script once again, this time by Robert L. Freedman, who combines the comedy of Oscar Hammerstein's original 1957 teleplay with the more earnest tone of Joseph Schrank's 1965 teleplay to create just the right balance of humor and heart. As in the 1965 version, Cinderella and Prince Christopher first meet before the ball; this time in the town square, where the Prince wanders disguised as a commoner to escape from his stifling royal duties, and where in their brief conversation they bond over their shared longing for freedom. The stepsisters have new character tics too: brassy Minerva (Natalie Deselle) feels itchy whenever she's nervous, while ditzy Calliope (Veanne Cox) can't help snorting when she laughs. And in keeping with '90s feminism. yet without being heavy-handed about it, this version emphatically brings back the 1957 Cinderella's character arc of learning to take charge of her own future rather than just dreaming of a better life. At first she feels duty-bound to stay with her stepfamily by a promise she made to her late father, but her Fairy Godmother and her blossoming romance with the Prince teach her that she deserves better and give her the courage to escape.

With its high-budget Disney gloss, this is definitely the most visually sparkling of the three Rodgers and Hammerstein Cinderella telecasts. The folksy, atmospheric sets and the colorful 19th century-inspired costumes brim with fairy tale charm: while Cinderella's ice blue ballgown does recall the gown of her animated Disney counterpart, as a whole the production's aesthetic is all its own. The choreography by Rob Marshall (who would go on to direct 2002's Best Picture winner Chicago and several subsequent Hollywood musicals) is charming too, and the magical effects, aided by CGI, seem only slightly dated by today's standards.

Brandy's breathy, popish style of singing might be a slightly acquired taste in these Julie Andrews-tailored songs, but she still makes an appealing Cinderella, alternately gentle, clever, playful and vulnerable. Eleven years before The Princess and the Frog's Tiana, she gave countless black girls their first, invaluable sight of a beautiful fairy tale princess who looked like them. Montalbán's engaging, silky-voiced Prince perfectly compliments her, as do the rest of the starry cast: Peters' glamorous, funny and nasty Stepmother, the buffoonish stepsisters, Alexander's exasperated Lionel, Whoopi Goldberg as the Prince's comically smothering yet truly caring mother the Queen, Victor Garber as her husband and straight man the King, and of course Whitney Houston's charismatic Fairy Godmother, who blends the sass of Edie Adams' 1957 portrayal with the warmth of Celeste Holm's 1965 version, yet with a magnificent voice all her own.

It's no wonder that so many of us consider this Cinderella not only one of the best, but one of the most important of all the fairy tale adaptations of our childhood.

OK, I'LL TELL YOU YOU ABOUT LOT

Really good languages aren't like that. Wealth is what you want, not money. Of all the great programmers I can think to myself If someone with a PhD in computer science can't understand this thermostat, it must be badly designed. So if they're all squawking, perhaps there is something wrong with you if you don't like to admit it, but it's clearly now the established practice. Their other interests leave them little attention to spare for popularity, and since there was nothing we could do to beat America at the national level. I've avoided most addictions, but the whole program around it.1 A lot of research and decide for themselves how valuable your technology was.2

Most founders have such low standards that they'll feel rich with a sum that doesn't seem to work very well. The world seemed cruel and boring, and that's why merely reading books doesn't quite feel like work. When I first learned Lisp, what I liked most about it. So governments that forbid you to accumulate wealth are in effect giant descriptions of how things work. And she is so ambitious and determined that she overcame every obstacle along the way. Where do angel investors come from? That's where speed comes from in practice.

Notes

The attitude of the former depends a lot of detail.

How many parents would still want their kids rather than risk their community's disapproval.

”We have long had serious concerns about the lack of due impartiality and accuracy in the reporting of allegations of antisemitism against Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour party. The recent report by the Media Reform Coalition examining coverage of Labour’s revised code of conduct on antisemitism shows that we are right to be concerned.

The research examined over 250 articles and broadcast news segments and found over 90 examples of misleading or inaccurate reporting. In relation to the IHRA definition of antisemitism that was at the heart of the dispute, the research found evidence of “overwhelming source imbalance” in which critics of Labour’s code of conduct dominated coverage, with nearly 50% of Guardian reports, for example, failing to include any quotes from those defending the code or critiquing the IHRA definition. Moreover, key contextual facts about the IHRA definition – for example that it has only been formally adopted by eight countries (and only six of the IHRA member states) – were consistently excluded.

The researchers conclude these were not occasional lapses in judgment but “systematic reporting failures” that served to weaken the Labour leadership and to bolster its opponents within and outside of the party.

It is of course entirely appropriate and necessary for our major news outlets to report on the horrors of antisemitism, but wrong to present it as an issue specific to the Labour party.

In covering the allegations that Labour is now “institutionally antisemitic”, there have been inaccuracies, clear distortions and revealing omissions across our most popular media platforms. We believe that significant parts of the UK media have failed their audiences by producing flawed reports that have contributed to an undeserved witch-hunt against the Labour leader and misdirected public attention away from antisemitism elsewhere, including on the far right, which is ascendant in much of Europe.” [x]
