Posted @withregram • @a4d_artistsfordemocracy Our next edition of the A4D Newsletter features artist, activist, and filmmaker @joel.tauber
In "The Sharing Project" he and his young son ask hard questions to try to understand the concept of sharing. How much should we share? When should we share? If our society and culture value sharing, why are so many people still poor?

As Tauber says, “Democracy implies an understanding that we’re all intertwined with each other.”

Look for it in your inbox on May 17. Visit https://artists4democracy.substack.com to subscribe.

Our current issue features the artist & activist @anokafaruqee

Posted @withregram • @christina.gushee I am thrilled [about] my Honors Art Show, "The Red List," at stArt Gallery in Reynolda Village, Winston-Salem, NC! As a Studio Art major at WFU, this work that discusses the impacts of human precipitated climate change on nine of hundreds of now critically endangered species, is the culmination of all of my studio courses and art experiences over the past four years, and I am excited to share it with you all! #wakethearts @startgallerywfu @wfuart @wakethearts

Looking forward to learning with artist Margarita Cabrera during today's iteration of the Art Department Speaker Series!

Margarita Cabrera's work addresses issues of immigration, labor practices, community, craft, cultural identity, violence and empowerment at the US-Mexico border.

The artist has participated in solo and group exhibitions including institutions such as the Dallas Contemporary, El Museo del Barrio, the Ford Foundation Gallery, LACMA, the McNay Museum, the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, among others.

The Sharing Project by @wfuniversity Prof @joel.tauber is a non-fiction film, philosophical journey, personal narrative, and nature film, all intertwined together to explore the meaning of sharing. The movie is screening April 23-25 on the @kunstzeughaus website:
https://www.kunstzeughaus.ch/unser-programm/agenda/agenda/eventdetail/71/102/event-video-screening-joel-tauber

Tauber also created an installation version of The Sharing Project, which explores the meaning of sharing via a series of videos and a communal sculpture of shared objects. The installation is showing through May 16 at the Kunst(Zeug)Haus in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland as part of the physical, in-person exhibition “sharity – teilen, tauschen, verzichten.” Participate by sharing your toys for the communal sculpture of shared objects in The Sharing Project installation. On the last day of the show, May 16, there will be an opportunity to take toys from the communal sculpture and to share them further by offering them to other people.

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“At the end of October I performed ‘On Getting Dressed’ along with another new work, ‘2 Poojas’ at Fluctoplasma Festival in Hamburg. 2 poojas retells my personal investigation into the origins of family discord and intergenerational trauma on the occasion of my grandfather's death.”

A YEAR IN REVIEW for Indrani Ashe (Art ‘06)

“In October I was invited to participate in the Asian Performance Art Lab Residency curated by Ming Poon and Frederika Tsai ... "On Getting Dressed" was a 20 minute performance lecture integrated with video in which I discuss the lack of South Asian Femme representation alongside orientalist misrepresentation as I transform myself into a contemporary goddess, in the attempt to become a body that is visible, valuable and powerful despite the weight of history.”
