SUMMARY:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Little Satchmo Film Screening & Discussion \nThursday\, July 25\, 6:30 pm | General Admission $10 / MEMBERS FREE \nTo the world\, Louis Armstrong is iconic — a symbol of musical genius\, unparalleled success\, and unassailable character. To Sharon\, he was simply Dad. Armstrong’s wholesome\, non-threatening image preserved his singular career as a black performer with unfettered access to a white man’s world. Yet he was more than a caricature. In private\, he held tightly to the things he loved. Perhaps closest to his heart was a child whom he hid from the world: a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy until now.  \nJoin the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for a screening of the Emmy-winning documentary (2023) exploring the life and legacy of Louis Armstrong through his relationship with the daughter that the public never knew existed.  Based on a revealing memoir written by Armstrong’s silent daughter\, the film seeks to correct a historical narrative relying on caricature for too long. A discussion with his daughter\, Sharon Preston-Folta  will follow.  Sharon Preston – Folta is the Executive Producer and  Writer to Little Satcmo. Sharon became a published author with her memoir “Living in The Shadow of my Father\, Louis Daniel Armstrong” in 2012\, which made public the private family life of Louis Armstrong. \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing
DESCRIPTION:Black Women Genius Conversations Art & Healing \nSaturday\, May 18 | 2 pm – 3 pm   \nEnjoy a roundtable conversation exploring Black women identity through the contemporary works of Black Women Genius fiber artists  Aliana Grace Bailey\, Murjoni Merriweather and Nastassja Swift. These artists will discuss how their soft sculptural and woven installations become transformative narratives embracing healing and love for Black women and Black culture.  \nAliana Grace Bailey’s art is a powerful journey of self-discovery\, celebrating Black womanhood\, and honoring the sacred aspects of life. Through her creative expressions\, she weaves intricate narratives using vibrant colors and environments\, inviting viewers to join her on a path of self-awareness.Through her work\, she weaves layers of interconnection\, comfort\, and storytelling. Her art beautifully juxtaposes notions of beauty\, optimism\, and\, at times\, the harsh realities of life. Aliana Grace Bailey’s creations are a testament to the power of art as a transformative and healing force. \nMurjoni Merriweather’s art is a response to and a rejection of these negative stereotypes about Blackness\, both within and outside the Black community. It involves dismantling European beauty standards imposed on Black people while promoting and normalizing Black culture. Embracing their hair\, skin\, and features without shame\, her artwork celebrates various facets of Black culture\, from hair and grills to nail art. \nNastassja Swift is an artist who specializes in making sculptures using wool. She creates soft sculptures that tell stories about history\, women\, spirituality\, and community connected to the human body.She gets inspiration from West African masks and Yoruba rituals\, using techniques like needle felting and working with fibers to bring her ideas to life.Her portraits challenge traditional ideas of who we celebrate\, question historical accounts\, and share Black people’s rich experiences and memories. \nRegister Here

DESCRIPTION:Disruption: Highway to Nowhere and Eroding History Screening\nThursday\, February 22nd | 6 pm to 8 pm \nJoin the Museum for a screening of the documentaries Disruption: Highway to Nowhere and Eroding History and a panel discussion with the films’ producers and policy makers as they consider the equalizing factor of environmental injustice and its impacts on Black Marylanders in urban and rural settings. Produced by journalist and documentarian Sean Yoes\, Disruption: Highway to Nowhere explores Baltimore’s infamous Highway 40 and the damage its construction wrought upon West Baltimore\, once considered one of several of America’s most vibrant Black communities that were irreparably disrupted and damaged by 20th century federal highway projects. \nEroding History tells the story of two Black communities on Deal Island\, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore\, that are finding themselves at the intersection of sea level rise\, historic racism\, and the disappearance of Black communities. It is a climate justice story\, made by two Black filmmakers – Yoes and Andre Chung – and a Jewish grandchild of refugees\, Rona Kobell. A deeply personal and moving story of a community striving to hold on to its culture\, Eroding History is anything but dry. \nRegister Here

No one was sure if America was ready for thoughtful portrayals of Black characters. \nCelebrate African Americans in the Arts with the Reginald F. Lewis Museum for this year’s Black History Theme recognized by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH). The museum will examine the contributions in Black Theater with a joint book talk with authors Michelle R. Scott (T.O.B.A. Time: Black Vaudeville and the Theater Owners’ Booking Association in Jazz-Age America) and Caseen Gaines (When Broadway Was Black – The Triumphant Story of the All-Black Musical That Changed the World).

Her work will be showcased alongside contemporary Black women fiber artists from the Chesapeake area. The exhibit will explore themes including Ancestry\, Tradition\, Fiber Narratives\, and Healing\, aiming to spotlight the distinctive elements of Elizabeth Talford Scott’s work and featured artists including: Kibibi Ajanku\, Aliana Grace Bailey\, Aliyah Bonnette\, Mahari Chabwera\, Dr. Joan M.E. Gaither\, Murjoni Merriweather\, Glenda Richardson\, Joyce J. Scott\, Nastassja Swift\, and Katherine Stewart Wilson. \nWe will showcase several of Elizabeth Talford Scott’s remarkable works. Among these\, “Stamps and Flags II\,” one of her early creations\, pays tribute to her evolution and exploration as an artist. This exhibition aims to emphasize Elizabeth’s significant influence as a maternal figure for generations of Black women fiber artists. Through her exceptional artistry\, she brilliantly reflects her life experiences as a Black Woman. \nThe Elizabeth Talford Scott Initiative\nThis initiative brings together five museums and four university sites across Baltimore City for a reunion of the artist’s work from February through May 2024. Each venue will have at least two Exhibition De students from the participating colleges—Coppin State University\, Johns Hopkins University\, MICA\, and Morgan State University—working on a presentation of Talford Scott’s work for their gallery spaces and organizing a free public program. Under the guidance of 2023-24 EDS Instructor Deyane Moses\, the students will determine the curatorial direction of their presentation\, drawing out connections to each organization’s collection\, space\, history\, and/or audience. \nMajor support for “No Stone Unturned” provided by the Bunting Family Foundation and Friends of EDS. Community Day is supported by Lorraine Whittlesey & Markell Whittlesey. Printed and digital materials are supported by The William G. Baker\, Jr. Memorial Fund.

SUMMARY:In Conversation | Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers Author Talk with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Jazzmen Lee-Johnson & Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead
DESCRIPTION:In Conversation | Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers Author Talk with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi & Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\nModerated by Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead\nTuesday\, January 23rd | 6:30pm to 8pm – Doors open at 6pm\nAdmission: $20 for Members | $25 for Non-Members\nAdmission includes a copy of the book\n\nJoin The Reginald F. Lewis Museum for an inspiring discussion with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi on his brand new release Barracoon: Adapted for Young Readers with Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\, Illustrator\, and moderated by WEAA 88.9 FM’s Dr. Kaye Wise Whitehead. In the first middle grade offering from Zora Neale Hurston and Ibram X. Kendi\, young readers are introduced to the remarkable and true-life story of Cudjo Lewis\, one of the last survivors of the Atlantic human trade\, in an adaptation of the internationally bestselling and critically acclaimed Barracoon. This is the life story of Cudjo Lewis\, as told by himself. Of the millions of men\, women\, and children transported from Africa to America to be enslaved\, eighty-six-year-old Cudjo Lewis was then the only person alive to tell the story of his capture and bondage—fifty years after the Atlantic human trade was outlawed in the United States. Cudjo shared his firsthand account with legendary folklorist\, anthropologist\, and writer Zora Neale Hurston. \nAdapted with care and delivered with age-appropriate historical context by award-winning historian Dr. Ibram X. Kendi\, Cudjo’s incredible story is now available for young readers and emerging scholars. With powerful illustrations by Jazzmen Lee-Johnson\, this poignant work is an invaluable contribution to our shared history and culture. \nJazzmen Lee-Johnson is a visual artist\, scholar\, composer\, and curator. Her practice centers on the interplay of animation\, printmaking\, music\, and dance\, informed by a yearning to understand how our current circumstance is tethered to the trauma of the past. Through her visual\, sonic\, and movement investigations across time and technology she disrupts and asserts ideas of history\, body\, liberation\, and otherness. Above all\, she is interested in redistributing the privileges that allow her to maintain her creative and scholarly practice. \nShe received her BFA in Film\, Animation\, and Video at RISD\, her MA in Public Humanities at Brown University\, and a heavy dose of education working with youth in Baltimore\, South Africa\, India\, New York City and Providence. She has curated exhibitions at the Chinese University of Hong Kong; Artist Proof Studio and the ABSA Art Gallery in Johannesburg\, South Africa; RISD Museum; and Brown University Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice\, where she was also a Public History of Slavery Fellow.  \nAs the 2019 inaugural Artist in Residence at the Rhode Island Department of Health she utilized the arts to confront health disparities. She was the 2020 Artist Fellow at the RISD Museum making work in response to the collection. As a 2022 Fitt Artist-in-Residence at the John Nicholas Brown Center for Humanities and Cultural Heritage at Brown University\, she created Not Never More a visual remix of the historic wallpaper Les Vues D’amérique Du Nord. At the 150th Anniversary of the Colfax Massacre she designed the Colfax Massacre Memorial—etched in granite\, it honors and centers the stories of the Black victims of the tragedy. She is the illustrator of Zora Neale Hurston’s Barracoon\, adapted for young readers by Ibram X Kendi. \nPurchase Tickets
