On September 18, 1895, Booker T. Washington delivered his renowned "Atlanta Compromise" speech, also referred to as the "Atlanta Exposition Speech," during the opening of the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia. Serving as the founder and president of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (which is now known as Tuskegee University), Washington achieved the historic milestone of being the first African-American man to address a racially diverse Southern audience. In his address, he imparted a message of hope, urging those of his race to focus on improving their conditions in their current surroundings and fostering amicable relationships with the Southern white community. Washington's philosophy emphasized self-help, political gradualism, and accommodation as a means to address racial tensions, resonating with both white and Black Americans who were fatigued by the violence and turmoil of the Reconstruction era in the South. Dr. Sarah Washington O'Neal Rush, as the great-granddaughter of Booker T. Washington, draws profound inspiration from her great-grandfather's enduring legacy and his unwavering commitment to personal development, empowerment, and education. This inspiration fuels her latest endeavor, the launch of a character education and leadership workbook/curriculum titled "16 Success Principles: Being, Growing, Leading, Soaring," slated for release this fall. This curriculum is designed to empower and educate teens and young adults and will be accessible to community-based organizations, schools, and institutions dedicated to working with this demographic. Dr. Rush will join Tavis to engage in a discussion encompassing the intricacies of the new 16 Success Principles curriculum, her journey of discovering her remarkable family legacy, and the indelible imprint she believes her great-grandfather left on the nation through his enduring vision and principles.

Episode Summary:Meanwhile patiently observing and exploring every single bit of the fascinating Unknown Unknowns. An Introduction to Mysteries exhibition at the 23rd International Exposition at Triennale Milano, curated by Ersilia Vaudo, we were mesmerised by an underwater robotic installation. In this episode we meet British bio artist Anna Dumitriu, who tells us more about the artwork ArcheaBot, reimagining what a post climate change life might be - a post singularity life-form. Based on a ground breaking research on archaea - a group of unicellular microorganisms believed to be the oldest form of life on earth - combined with the latest innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Anna has collaborated with Alex May to create the ‘ultimate' species that can adapt to live in extreme conditions, able to survive the end of our world. The pioneering visual artist speaks about her extraordinary practice in between art and biology and the role of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in an altered future life, laying the importance Alan Turing's Imitation Game has assumed in the philosophy of mind and quoting ideas of Elon Musk discussing possible solutions for Climate Change.The Speaker:Anna Dumitriu is an award winning, internationally renowned, British artist who works with BioArt, sculpture, installation, and digital media to explore our relationship to infectious diseases, synthetic biology and robotics.

Marie Perrut nous parle d' Anesty International et de l'exposition photographique de Christopher ANDERSON. Elle est interviewée par Elise Serrano.

Thank you for joining me today for Episode 32 of the Strange Neighborhood Podcast. Today I followed the synchronicities that brought me to find out about an international expo that was held in Detroit Michigan in 1889. This world's fair is not listed on the official record anywhere but taking a little closer look at everything it wasn't really hard to see why. Could it be the desecration of ancient burial mounds? or maybe it's the drop-in electric shock therapy display? or it could very well be the skeletons they found and tossed into the Detroit River... the oversized humanoids skeletons... and the ones with oddly shaped skulls? but I bet it wasn't any of that, I think it's more likely that the entire expo took place on ancient and sacred native American ceremonial grounds. It was told by local tribes at the time to be the place of an ancient energetic portal connecting our world to the world beyond. I guess if they wanted to hide the legends that this area is n fact a gateway, they shouldn't be plastering the symbolism all over that city to this very day. So step into the portal with me that is the Detroit River, a passageway connecting two powerful bodies of water and possibly a passageway connecting us to another realm that defies space and time. Hop on my boat we are heading for 'the strait' neighbors, and its choppy waters out there.

Booker T Washington, founder of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, was born a slave in 1856, and the story of his indefatigable drive to education and accomplishment, as presented in his autobiography, UP FROM SLAVERY, is both harrowing and inspiring. On September 18th, 1895 he delivered this historic (and later controversial) speech at the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition, designed to display the economic progress of the post-Civil War South. The choice of Washington as speaker was intended to show similar progress in race-relations.

Synopsis On today's date in 2020, the University of Maryland launched PriceFest–an annual festival devoted to the American composer Florence Price. The plan was to stage performances of works in the context of lectures and panels devoted to this long-neglected African-American composer. The Covid outbreak forced the first PriceFest to be an online event only, but that worked so well the 2021 PriceFest arranged for more live-streamed and interactive Zoom events. When Florence Price died at the age of 66 in 1953, she left behind instrumental, orchestra and vocal works that languished unperformed for decades until a revival of interest in music by women composers and composers of color led to a serious second look at her compositions and a rediscovery of their quality and importance. In 2009, a couple renovating an abandoned and dilapidated house in St. Anne, Illinois once owned by Price found a substantial collection of previously unknown Price scores.   As Alex Ross, writing in The New Yorker, commented: "not only did [Florence] Price fail to enter the canon; a large quantity of her music came perilously close to obliteration. That run-down house in St. Anne is a potent symbol of how a country can forget its cultural history.” Music Played in Today's Program Florence Price (1887 - 1953) – Mississippi Suite (Women's Philharmonic; Apo Hsu, cond.)

This week, we’re talking about the 1895 Cotton States and International Exposition. Opened for over 100 days, from September through December of that year, it would attract around 800K visitors from across the US and 13 different countries. In 1895, Atlanta had 75,000 people, of which 40% were African American, there were 125 miles of electric trolley lines and you could feel the energy about the upcoming exposition - good and bad.

In this episode, Steve and Catherine have the distinct pleasure and honor to interview Luis Sahagun, an amazing artist who is tremendously candid in sharing how he discovered that his artmaking gave him, an undocumented at-risk youth from south of Chicago, a voice. He speaks on how he discovered that he is a creative, how he's received support for being an artist and how sometimes he recieved messages that weren't so supportive. He also shared about his earliest memories of his creative process, leaving a more lucrative design career, and how he learned that exploring and researching the images that came out of his creative process truly helped him process trauma and loss. You will learn on the tough decisions and sacrifices Luis has made to create his art and he speaks on how he teaches children that they too have a voices. Luis has been featured in New American Paintings (Issue #111), and his work was showcased at the International Exposition of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the National Museum of Mexican Art in Chicago. He has also held residencies at Arquetopia Oaxaca, Roswell New Mexico, Chicago Artist Coalition, Mana Contemporary in Miami, Michigan State University in East Lansing and the Chicago Cultural Center which featured his one-person show, BOTH EAGLE AND SERPENT. Cate White when talking about his show, THE MOUNTAINS WHISPERED AND THE CANYON SANG, says that Luis Sahagun has one of these voices that carries far and wide. His realness allows him to connect with any social group—from the hood to the hills and whatever’s in between.

The Color of Cider provides a snap shot of an early practices used to deter black farmers gaining true equality and the difficulties facing African Americans today who may view farming as a step back to the plantation. We begin this episode with a quote from Booker T. Washington who born into slavery on April 5, 1856. He was able to learn to read and write despite the tendency of slave owners to not allow blacks to gain education. He help co-found the Tuskegee Institute. On September 18, 1895 Washington gave a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Georgia. He asserted that vocational education, which gave blacks an opportunity for economic security, was more valuable to them than social advantages, higher education, or political office. Washington asked blacks to "Cast down your buckets where you are" and focus instead on becoming agricultural and industrial laborers. In essence he was asking for blacks to not push against racial segregation.  In turn for this act of accepting one's station in the black community, he asked for a guarantee that blacks would receive a basic education and due process in the law. The largely white audience in attendance loved the speech. The fall back from the black community, who were  called at the time "Black Intellectuals" was immediate outrage. W.E.B. DuBois, also a famous black activist called Washington's speech, the"Atlanta Compromise." Du Bois denounced Washington platform to accept ones position. What was curious about Washington was that he asked Black Americans to accept their unequal position, while at the same time secretly funded litigation for civil rights cases. Five years later, in 1900 Washington founded the National Negro Business League, with the mission of promoting the economic development of African Americans. He wrote a ground breaking auto biographical book called Up From Slavery. One particular quote/story from B. T. Washington makes the case of why it was and so hard for Black to gain upward mobility. This comes from an article in the Country Gentleman magazine described as a journal for The Farm, The Garden and The Fireside. "In one case I happen to remember a family that had three or four strong persons at work every day that was allowed to rent only about ten acres of land. When I asked the owner of the plantation why he did not let this family have more land he replied that the soil was so productive that if he allowed them to rent more they would soon be making such a profit that they would be able to buy land of their own and he would lose them as renters. This is one way to make the Negro inefficient as a laborer—attempting to discourage him instead of encouraging him." One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to see that Cider today is white because blacks did not have the same opportunity to own land and farm. Washington died on November 14, 1915. Today in 2020, we are witnessing an uprising of Black Lives Matter taking place not only in the US, but world wide. Today's Black Live Matters shows I believe that Washington's call for acceptance of one's status didn't work. Blacks have never been treated with a fair due process in the law.  For our modern times, I recommend the following book.

For years, we’ve been told the buildings of the 1898 Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition were demolished right after the event ended in the fall of that year. But they weren’t destroyed! Instead, after all the success Omaha had with the Expo, a group of investors decided they needed to keep the buildings up and start another grand event. Working together, they raised enough money to buy the buildings. Support the North Omaha History podcast. Please go to Patreon.com/Omaha and become a patron for as little as $1 a month.

This week: Live on stage without a net from Art Expo Chicago 2013 (aka EXPO CHICAGO, The International Exposition of Contemporary and Modern Art) Duncan and Richard talk to Galleries Charlie James (Charlie James Gallery, Los Angeles) and artist William Powhida!   William Powhida (b. 1976, New York) is an artist and critic living and working in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. For several years Powhida worked as an art critic for the Brooklyn Rail while developing his own artistic practice. Powhida’s work, reflecting his critical background, displays a concentrated fascination with the politics of access and the powers that control the assignment of value in the artworld. All roles are fair game, from nouveau-hot artists and the market-setting collectors that buy them, to the branded dealers that sell the work and the critics paid to provide intellectual justification for the pricepoints. To soften what might appear a direct editorial voice, Powhida projects his commentary through the lens of an alter-ego, one with whom he shares a name (William Powhida). This alter-ego closely resembles any number of freshly minted artworld ‘geniuses,’ though Powhida’s character happens to exhibit all of the worst traits imaginable in any coddled enfant-terrible art star. The fictional Powhida is petulant, narcissistic, and debauched. He has enormous feelings of entitlement, and a perspective so firmly rooted in solipsism that it seems an impossible exaggeration. This art star on the verge of self-immolation documents his misery and rage against the manifold injustices of the art world through a series of To Do Lists, Enemies Lists, and monomaniacal screeds that take on the look of disturbed 3am rants. However, not all of this work exists in the first person. In addition to the alter-ego’s jeremiads, Powhida adds the sycophantic voice of the press ¬ a vital part of the star-making process. Ostensibly a frequent subject of Man About Town profiles in fashion magazines and newspapers, the alter-ego’s more offensive conduct and outsized claims are documented in this way. Which brings us to the startling visual power of Powhida’s work. All of the content above, from the character’s first-person attacks to press profiles by the New York Post, the LA Weekly, and 944 Magazine (examples) are all rendered in beautiful trompe l’oeil compositions that use various combinations of graphite, gouache, and colored pencil on either panel or paper. It is in fact the visual presentation of Powhida’s arguments, coupled with their humor, that makes Powhida’s sometimes scathing commentaries so much fun to digest. William Powhida earned his BFA from Syracuse University, and took his MFA from Hunter College. He is represented by Platform Gallery in Seattle, and Charlie James Gallery in Los Angeles. Established in Los Angeles in 2008, Charlie James Gallery represents work by emerging and mid-career artists. 969 Chung King Road Los Angeles, CA 90012 T: 213.687.0844 F: 213.687.8815 HOURS: Wednesday - Saturday 12 - 6 PM
