For 20 years, CulturalDC has been making space for art. That includes physical places like galleries, theaters and affordable housing for artists. But it also includes making space in the conversation for art. This summer, CulturalDC is proud to present, When We Gather…, a collaborative exploration between Haïtian-American (Flo·reen Day·most·ten) and Ghanaian (Aaah·chu Nuu·maah·jee). “When We Gather…” is a visual arts installation highlighting the cultural significance of flag making in military campaigns, clan identity, spirituality, and storytelling. Using the history of Haiti's Battle for Independence and the symbology of the Anlo Ewe people , Day·most·ten and Nuu·maah·jee explore the use of symbols and body as forms of culture and art. In this discussion, Day·most·ten and Nuu·maah·jee discuss the meanings behind fabrics of Africa, the state of arts in Africa and the intersections of art and cultural responsibility. This conversation is hosted by Simone Booker- Isham of CulturalDC. (Flo·reen Day·most·ten) was born in the United States and raised between Port-au-Prince, Haiti and New York where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Parsons School for Design and her Master of Fine Arts from Hunter College-City University. She has exhibited extensively through group and solo exhibitions in the United States, Caribbean, UK, Europe, and Africa, with recent solo shows including, Between Possibility and Actuality at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery in Chicago. (Aaah·chu Nuu·maah·jee) is a Ghanaian artist whose work explores contemporary ideologies of blackness and West African culture. He was born in the Volta Region and studied at Ghanatta College of Art and Design. His most recent work, “Africa In Us”, is a community investigation project where Nuu·maah·jee creates a mixed media portrait that is based on a series of interviews with Southeast residents of Washington D.C. The core of his artwork has involved working with West African immigrants who are employed in the service industry, particularly hair stylists and barbers. He has exhibited in Ghana, Tanzania, and the United States and is based in Washington, DC and Maryland. When We Gather…, presented by CulturalDC is on view from Jul. 9 through September 5th , in CulturalDC's Mobile Art Gallery Thursdays through Sundays at Sandlot Southeast. Admission is free.

"When We Gather in Community: The Inner Circle" Matthew 10:26-33

“We don't regather to just experience a semblance of what we had before, but to strengthen ourselves to counter the pervasive cultural narrative and truly be faithful and fruitful followers of Christ.” - @centuryeggtart Ps. Janice shared on When We Gather in our new sermon series on Experiencing God Together. We need a resilient discipleship to counter the pervasive cultural narrative that could create a sense of distractedness and disembodied experiences. This is why we gather - to forge unity and engage in spiritual practices together. As we restart physical gatherings, let us not limit our expectations to past experiences, but desire to encounter Him more intimately and to be strengthened as a people for such a time as this.

Today is January 27, 2021. One week ago, we inaugurated new leaders in the United States. Many hope that President Joseph. Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris will cultivate an era of unity, democracy, and truth in this country.  Multiple flashpoints complicated the year 2020. The relentless coronavirus pandemic, accelerating discrimination against people of color, heightened climate emergencies, and the imploding global economy had a intense polarizing effect on the electorate. Kamala Harris, the first African-American and Asian American to become Vice President, is also the first woman to be given this tremendous opportunity. As she steps into a crucial role of responsibility, Harris inspires this episode.  What part can creativity play in such turbulent times?  We speak to six women artists and curators responding to the challenges of the past year with renewed resolve. Strengthening their engagement with vital issues and ideas, each one positions herself in service to social justice. Future episodes will reveal more about their individual awakenings.

A dream led her to invite collaborators to celebrate all that Kamala Harris represents. Performance and poetry in the new art film When We Gather embody their collective hope and imagination.   Dr. Andrea Fatona is a Toronto-based curator and scholar who teaches in the graduate program at Ontario College of Art and Design University. For decades, she has sought to remedy the absence of Black visual art from critical writing, art archives and other avenues of representation. Whitewash, Nadine Valcin’s performance video about the history of slavery in Canada, is featured on Fatona's website: The State of Blackness.   Born and based in San Juan, Marina Reyes Franco is curator at the Museum of Contemporary Art. She talks about the Museum’s powerful new partner and introduces the metaphoric exhibition she will present this spring. In 2020, Reyes Franco took the time to support artist friend Sofía Gallisá Muriente in her creation of a new film. Sited on the southwest coast of Puerto Rico, Celaje is an elegy to the death of the Puerto Rican colonial project and the sedimentation of disasters on the island.   Water channels, fountains, roses and pools are elemental to the legendary Persian garden. Iranian-American artist Bahar Behbahani has been investigating the garden’s histories for years. In 2019, she created her first garden-inspired public art project at Wave Hill in the Bronx. In 2021, the artist aims to break ground on a purposeful Persian garden in Manhattan.   New York-based artist Mary Mattingly has always been concerned with sustainability, creating lyric environments that meet the basic needs of water, food, and shelter. Her latest project concerns the invisible infrastructure of public water in the city she calls home. Mattingly is diving deep—her urban case study exposes inequities that limit access to clean drinking water everywhere.    Early 2020 found Los Angeles based artist Andrea Bowers joining other women to read and record the poem “This Earth,” by Susan Griffin. Studying the spiritual origins of eco-feminism was among her solitary pursuits last year. When the pandemic slowed her activist projects, Bowers turned to re-examine how and why she makes art. 

Tim Green speaks on Communion as a part of our mini series When We Gather.

February 12, 2017 When We Gather, part 2 Psalm 103, various Psalms Pastor Jim Rutherford

February 5, 2017 When We Gather, part 1 John 4:23-24, Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 12:28-29 Pastor Jim Rutherford

Why do we take Communion? What is the background to how Paul of Tarsus describes what needs to change at the Church in Corinth? Recognising our sins and then repenting is an important part of our Christian walk. Our faults need not hold us back from serving God though.
