As such\, carving a path for diversity has at times been a daunting task. As part of the conversation\, Carolina and Nayda will explore: how they navigate access to exhibitions\, grants\, and collaborations as artists of color; how their work symbolizes and demonstrates their artistic visions and concerns; and Nayda’s latest work\, Rupturing\, winner of the 2021 Envision Award. \nTo attend their discussion\, follow OPA on Instagram @officeofpublicart. \nAbout Carolina Loyola-Garcia\nCarolina Loyola-Garcia is a multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker\, and performer.

SUMMARY:Visual Discrepancies in Documentative Art & Journalism
DESCRIPTION:OPA Live! is an Instagram Live series that features Pittsburgh-based cultural producers in conversation with their peers in other locations nationally and internationally. For the third session of this season of OPA Live!\, we welcome our host\, artist Julie Lee and her guest\, artist and visual journalist\, Selina Lee. \nSession Description\nDocumentative media has a reputation for flattening story subjects through imagery\, especially those belonging to traditionally marginalized groups. In this session of OPA Live!\, host Julie Lee\, whose artistic practice focuses on historical and psychological reconstruction\, is joined by artist and visual journalist Selina Lee to discuss examples of these representations within the journalism and contemporary art industries. Breaking down racialized and exoticized visual tropes\, they consider how artists working beyond stereotypical depictions can carve out a space of their own. \nAbout Julie Lee\nJulie Lee (she/her) is a Korean-American artist from Alabama residing in Pittsburgh\, PA. Her lens-based works (primarily collage and photography) explore themes of ancestry and the photograph as existential affirmation. These works have circulated nationally and internationally\, encouraging new ways of seeing and representing ideas in contemporary image culture\, of seeing and being seen\, as well as speculating historical\, psychological reconstructions. \nHer work has been exhibited in Columbia University’s PostCrypt Gallery\, the Curated Fridge\, and the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. Her work has also been featured in publications such as the Journal of Art Criticism\, Yale University’s Asterisk* Journal of Art and Art History\, and Hyperallergic. \nAbout Selina Lee\nSelina Lee is an artist and visual journalist whose current work is concerned with competition as it applies to international affairs\, sports culture\, and national identity. Focusing on image-making processes and visual criticism\, she uses drawing\, photography\, graphic design\, animation\, and writing to explore alternative modes of representation within news media. She is a 2022-2023 Fulbright Germany Research Scholar with previous experience working for magazine publications Foreign Policy and Foreign Affairs. She graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2020 with a BFA in Visual Art.

SUMMARY:Why Wander Outside?
DESCRIPTION:OPA Live! is an Instagram Live series that features Pittsburgh-based cultural producers in conversation with their peers in other locations nationally and internationally. For the final session of this season of OPA Live!\, we welcome our host\, artist and writer Anisha Baid and her guest\, interdisciplinary artist Sobia Ahmad. \nSession Description\nReflecting on their overlapping as well as distinctive cultural experiences as South Asian women currently living in the western world\, Anisha Baid and Sobia Ahmad will engage in a conversation about the intersections between the personal\, political and spiritual dimensions of experience. This conversation will be anchored through a reflection and exchange of poetry\, specifically works from two poets – the mystic saint poet Kabir and the revolutionary Marxist poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz. Through this poetry\, they will explore the ground from which a nuanced engagement with identity politics\, coloniality\, and migration is built into Ahmad’s practice. This conversation will also tread into personal stories of growing up in ritual cultures\, and different kinds of faith – from two sides of a colonial border (India and Pakistan)\, and the lessons and questions we draw from it in a time when technocratic narratives seek to erase these ancestrally rooted ways of being. \nAbout Anisha Baid\nAnisha Baid is an artist and writer from Kolkata\, India\, currently based in Pittsburgh\, USA. Through her practice and research\, she is investigating the intersection of computer interfaces\, corporate culture\, and gendered labour. She works with found and archival material – often sourced from the internet to construct narratives that move between fiction and documentary. Her work has been shown internationally including at the Technical Collections\, Dresden\, Landskrona Foto Museum\, Sweden and 1Shanthiroad gallery\, Bangalore. Baid is currently pursuing an MFA degree at Carnegie Mellon University\, Pittsburgh. \nAbout Sobia Ahmad\nSobia Ahmad is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores how our deeply intimate struggles of belonging can inform larger conversations about national identity\, notions of home\, cultural memory\, and gender. Exploring ancestral knowledge\, she reimagines rituals and storytelling as acts of liberation. \nBorn and raised in Pakistan\, Ahmad moved to the U.S. at the age of fourteen. She has exhibited internationally\, including at the Herbert Johnson Museum of Art (Ithaca\, New York)\, Craft Contemporary (Los Angeles)\, Queen Mary University (London)\, Museum of Craft and Design (San Francisco)\, and the Women Filmmakers Festival at the Smithsonian American Art Museum (Washington\, D.C.). \n

SUMMARY:Checkpoint C Artist Talk with Ricardo iamuuri Robinson
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Ricardo iamuuri Robinson for a closing reception for his current installation\, Checkpoint C. This multimedia time-based audio installation explores the ways in which streams of information\, entertainment\, and consumerism widen the gap between civilians and military service members. It is an immersive art installation that includes visual and spatial elements\, positioning listeners in the sand as sound moves throughout the interior of a retrofitted shipping container. \nDuring the reception\, Robinson will discuss the artwork and his collaboration with the post-9/11 veteran community of Pittsburgh. The artist talk will be followed by a Q & A and time to view the installation. Refreshments will be provided. \nAbout Checkpoint C\nCheckpoint C is a multimedia\, time-based audio installation that explores ways in which streams of information\, entertainment\, and commercialization desensitize and widen the gap between civilians and our military service members. \nIn 2019 The Office for Public Art and RethinkVets announced Ricardo Iamuuri Robinson as the artist in residence with the RethinkVets coalition. Throughout this two-year initiative\, Robinson engaged with members of the post-9/11 veteran community\, facilitating workshops\, discussions\, and virtual forums. By embedding himself in the veteran community\, a collaborative experience developed to create a final work of art. \nThis immersive art installation is the culmination of many perspectives on why division persists between civilians and military service members. Seven speakers have been arranged in a bi-rectangular ambisonic array\, simulating a three dimensional composed soundscape. The installation positions listeners in the sand as sounds move throughout the interior\, inviting a variety of complex questions but still leading to one automatic response: thank you for your service. \nThis project is supported by the Office for Public Art and The Heinz Endowments. \nAbout Ricardo iamuuri Robinson\nRicardo iamuuri Robinson is an interdisciplinary conceptual sound recordist\, composer\, and visual artist whose work explores acoustic ecologies–a discipline studying the relationship\, mediated through sound\, between human beings and their environment. His work activates and responds to the utterance: “The listener is always the composer.” Packed in this sentence is an expansive truth–humans\, across time and space\, encounter sound through entangled filtration. Humans experience the world and its multifaceted harmonics with who they are\, their experiences\, their positionalities. Sound is site-specific\, yet world-trekking; It is planetary–if not experienced through the ear\, then through the hum and resonance in the body. \nRobinson’s work utilizes this unique capacity and wisdom of sound in order to (re)tell the story of production. It affects our sense of time and place\, mood and affect. The exposure and relation to sound is mediated through our societal affiliations and afflictions–cities sound different from suburbs sound different from neighborhoods with emergency sirens sound different from high-rise million-dollar condominiums with valet. Each pocket of the Earth formulates its own soundscape\, which becomes and continues to exist in convoluted relationship with the sociopolitical systems that be. \nEmploying research\, field recordings\, archiving\, media archeology\, filmmaking\, performance art\, and creative listening engagements\, Robinson invites listeners to cultivate a deeper understanding of the ways in which listening and sound informs our sense of place and awareness while exposing the listener to its sociopolitical dimensions to encourage a heightened engagement with systems of power. \nRegistration\nThis event is free to attend; advance registration is encouraged.

SUMMARY:Flamenco Pittsburgh at Allegheny Landing
DESCRIPTION:Join Flamenco Pittsburgh for this introductory class to learn the basics of flamenco. Flamenco is an art form based on the folkloric music traditions of southern Spain\, later shaped and influenced by musicians and performers in the Caribbean\, Latin America\, and Europe. UNESCO recently recognized it as part of the World’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Many have fallen in love with the passion\, joy\, and rhythm that Flamenco embodies from exquisite combinations of singing (cante)\, music (toque)\, dance (baile)\, and rhythmic hand-clapping (palmas). Please wear comfortable clothes\, bring water\, and wear comfortable shoes. \nAbout Flamenco Pittsburgh\nFlamenco Pittsburgh seeks to celebrate and increase awareness of flamenco culture in Western Pennsylvania. As part of that mission\, we offer flamenco instruction for the community\, for beginner to advanced levels. Our instructors and performing artists are professionals who teach and perform in addition to their daytime vocations. Our students represent a spectrum of ages\, demographics\, and professional pursuits—we have children\, grad students\, physicians\, computer scientists\, writers\, architects\, media and opera professionals\, lawyers\, construction workers…a rich cross-section! Those drawn to explore flamenco typically represent a wonderful mix of heritage\, too\, from native Latinos\, to Asian\, Indian\, Eastern European\, and other ethnic origins. \nClass Information\nAll participants should plan to arrive by 1:45 PM to check-in. If you do not arrive by 2:00 PM\, we reserve the right to forfeit your space to a walk-up participant. Classes will be held rain or shine\, except in the case of extreme weather.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Creative Corps Gallery: Dream of a Black Planet
DESCRIPTION:Dream of a Black Planet is an exhibition of new works by artist Shori Sims. This exhibition will take place in the Pittsburgh Creative Corps Gallery located at the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s pop-up park\, the Backyard at 8th and Penn. \nGallery Hours\nWednesday/Thursday 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM \nFriday/Saturday 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM \nSunday 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM \nDream of a Black Planet\nShori Sims’ new paintings see Black people in a futuristic paradise of their own conception. Depicting Black bodies joined in joy\, Sims — through highly symbolic paintings — posits what could happen if African-descended people came together now\, in an act of mutual healing. Utilizing futuristic and utopian imagery\, Sims paints Black people in a way that highlights their humanity. \nSims is creating work within an imagined narrative. This narrative posits a world in the not-so-far future where\, having abandoned Earthly conquest in favor of intergalactic pillage\, whiteness is no longer concerned with the subjugation of Blackness. Black people are left on Earth and paradise is created from the ruins of white civilization. Sims’ conception of the future is highly symbolic\, and refers to the supernatural as a means to discuss historical trauma. \nIn their paintings\, Sims presents an optimistic response to afro-pessimist thought that instead posits an inevitable afro-utopia. \nAbout Shori Sims\nShori Sims was born in Baltimore\, Maryland in 1999. In their work–spanning sculpture\, video\, and performance–Shori seeks to excavate queer Black collective memory. Shori’s work positions itself at the intersection of past and future\, interrogating past feelings and experiences to further expand\, improve\, and propagate the archive. Conceptually\, Shori is fascinated by the line between life and death\, the construction of queerness and Blackness in a future that no longer necessitates the physical body\, and the Internet as a tool of queer Black reclaiming and liberation. Visually\, Shori is looking to early 2000s video games\, beauty supply stores\, and the Internet itself as a vessel of images. Through numerous and varied methods\, Shori conjures images of Black feminist utopia. \nDirections and Parking\nThe Pittsburgh Creative Corps Gallery is in the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s pop-up park\, the Backyard\, located at 8th Street and Penn Avenue\, Downtown. \nThere are several public parking garages in the vicinity of the Backyard\, including the Liberty Avenue Garage and the Theater Square Garage. View a map of nearby parking HERE. \nIf taking public transportation\, there is a bus stop at 7th Street and Penn Avenue that serves routes 13\, 16\, 17\, 86\, 87\, 88\, and 91. There is also a light rail stop at Wood Street Station. View a map of nearby stops HERE. \n
