  • Alison Saar | Breach Sept. 17–Dec. 17, 2016
    Alison Saar | Breach Sept. 17–Dec. 17, 2016 Alison Saar explores issues of gender, race, racism, and the African diaspora. She mines mythology, ritual, history, music, and her biracial heritage as sources for her work. During a 2013 residency at the Joan Mitchell Center in New Orleans, Saar was dismayed to see how little had been done to rebuild African American communities devastated by Hurricane Katrina eight years earlier. Upon her return to Los Angeles, she began researching the histories of American floods and the effect on African Americans.The Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927, described as one of the worst natural river disasters in U.S. history, piqued her interest. Heavy rains resulted in the river breaching levees, creating a historic catastrophe that had a profound impact on the life of African Americans living in the Mississippi Delta. The flood exposed the conditions of poor African American sharecroppers and tenant farmers and their relationship with cotton plantation owners. The flood also resulted in social, cultural, federal policy, and political changes. With water imagery woven throughout, Breach is the culmination of Saar’s creative research on American rivers and their historical relationship to the lives of African Americans. Through mixed media sculpture, paintings, and works on paper, she explores floods not only as natural phenomena; but also the complex interaction of social, cultural, and political factors associated with flooding and its aftermath. galleries.lafayette.edu [email protected] 610 330 5361 1.

As developed by Chela Sandoval, the defining aspect of the praxis of the U.S. third world feminists is differential consciousness. Differential consciousness is the ability to form coalitions within and beyond different communities not just for personal survival, but through personal survival to transform social oppressions. This dissertation animates Sandoval’s apparatus, which she calls a methodology of the oppressed, to analyze how a current cohort of writers are using literary collaboration to decolonize globalization.

  • Island Girl in a Rock-And-Roll World an Interview with June Millington by Theo Gonzalves and Gayle Wald
    1 2 GAYLE WALD AND THEO GONZALVES 1 2 George Washington University, National Museum of American History - Smithsonian Institution Email: [email protected] Island Girl in a Rock-and-Roll World An Interview with June Millington by Theo Gonzalves and Gayle Wald EDITED AND ANNOTATED BY GAYLE WALD The following text collects edited excerpts from a 30 July 2018 interview with musician June Millington (b. 1948, Manila, the Philippines) conducted by Theo Gonzalves, curator in the Division of Culture and the Arts at the National Museum of American History, and Gayle Wald, Professor of English and American Studies at George Washington Uni- versity. The interview was conducted at the Institute for the Musical Arts, a Goshen, Massachusetts-based non-profit founded and operated by Millington and her partner, Ann Hackler. The text is based on a transcription by Gracia Brown. This version, which is condensed, edited for clarity, and annotated, was prepared by Gayle Wald. June Millington is co-founder and lead guitarist of the germinal rock-and-roll band Fanny, which formed in Los Angeles in 1969. The other original members of the band were Jean Millington (June’s sister, on bass guitar and drums), Alice de Buhr (drums and vocals), and Nickey Barclay (keyboards and vocals). Fanny recorded four albums with Reprise Records—Fanny (1970), Charity Ball (1971), Fanny Hill (1972), and Mother’s Pride (1973)—and toured widely in the U.S. and internationally. As Ann Powers has recently observed, Fanny, as fronted by June Millington, “was a showcase for the swag- ger of long-haired, bell-bottomed, fierce femmes at the dawn of the women’s liberation 1 movement.” Since the band’s 1973 dissolution, Millington has had a distinguished career working with a wide variety of artists, most notably Cris Williamson, on whose influential 1975 album The Changer and the Changed Millington contributed keyboards, guitar, and vocals.
