Sternberg Ellen Stone Belic Richard and Ann Tomlinson Anonymous Hotel Partner As of January 9, 2012 MCA Chicago is a proud partner of the National Performance Network. Welcome to the Edlis Neeson Theater I am proud to announce an extraordinary gift from Stefan Edlis and Gael Neeson to name the MCA Theater, home of the MCA Stage since 1996–97. The newly named Edlis Neeson Theater is the primary space in which we celebrate and support live arts. For more than thirty-five years, Stefan Edlis and Gael Neeson have been extraordinary supporters of MCA Chicago. In his longtime role as Trustee, Stefan has been particularly involved in the care and preservation of the MCA’s Josef Paul Kleihues–designed build- ing. By extension, Stefan and Gael’s support of this theater is of paramount importance to the MCA, as it is a place where artists and audiences come together around the most sig- nificant art and ideas of our time. Stefan and Gael share our vision of the MCA as an artist-activated, audience-engaged muse- um for producing art, ideas, community, and conversation around the creative process—in our galleries, theater, and beyond. We are deeply thankful to them and truly thrilled by this affirmation of multidisciplinary programming at the MCA. Enjoy tonight’s performance!

On the one hand, we face continuing attacks on communities of color and on others who are too often marginalized in this Wsociety. But in 2018, we saw that people of color will no longer just play defense against attacks on our rights; we will lead America toward a vision of equity and justice. That’s why this year’s Summit theme takes its inspiration from the words of Representative Maxine Waters – that famous “reclaiming my time” moment that so quickly went viral – in order to highlight the leaders, especially here in California, who refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. We invite you to listen and be inspired by such stellar figures as Representative Barbara Lee, our Lifetime Achievement Award winner, California Public Utilities Commissioner Martha Guzman Aceves, She The People founder Aimee Alison, Dream Corps President Vien Truong, and acclaimed rapper, activist, producer, screenwriter and film director Boots Riley, among many others. But we also hope you’ll join our interactive Equity Lab in the afternoon and explore practical tools to move the struggle for justice and equity from thinking to doing. And today we will also be saying a very special farewell to Orson Aguilar as he transitions out of Greenlining after 11 years as our President. Orson first came to Greenlining through our Leadership Academy as a young leader more than 20 years ago.

Nor does it acknowledge the many contributions of kindness and support along the way by those who rally the worker toward completion. Yes, beginning is an important part of every endeavor, but the end is only ever reached through the committed assistance of a community of people. First and foremost I am indebted to my husband Carl F.K. Pao for his enduring support and encouragement over the course of not only this doctoral project but the many years of study that have preceded it. There was a time when I thought pursuing advanced study was an undertaking as impossible for me as flying to the moon.

  • The Mural Art of Resistance in Oakland, California
    THE PAINT MARKS THE PLACE: THE MURAL ART OF RESISTANCE IN OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA NARMEEN S. HASHIM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO SEPTEMBER 2016 © NARMEEN S. HASHIM, 2016 ABSTRACT The Paint Marks the Place: The Mural Art of Resistance in Oakland, California In the context of both historical and current urban redevelopment schemes in Oakland, California that displace black, brown, and indigenous peoples, businesses, and communities, I examine the work of mural artists and activists to resist erasure and mark belonging. Specifically, this research explores the relationship between the practice of intentional community mural-making, projecting narratives of culture and resistance, and geographic concepts of place-making, and sense of belonging. The research was conducted through a critical feminist anti-colonial methodological process of artography. Through semi- structured in-depth interviews with artists, residents, and community activists, photography, archival media analysis and a case study of the Madre Maize (2012) mural by the Community Rejuvenation Project crew, I uncover how the process of mural-making is a means of place-making by allowing some of the most societally marginalized to author the landscapes in which they dwell, work, and live. This thesis argues that intentional community mural art is a means of counter monument, community justice, and an act of decolonization through embedding a decolonial aesthetic in the fabric of urban landscapes, uncovering hidden black, brown, and indigenous geographies and contributing to larger movements of social justice making.

    Sirron Norris 172 Fairmount Street San Francisco, CA 94131 415-509-4041 Email: [email protected] Website: SirronNorris.com City of Brisbane Public Art Program 50 Park Place, Brisbane, CA 94005 Selection Committee, My love with public art began sixteen years ago when I painted my first mural on 20th and Bryant in the heart of the Mission in San Francisco. Since then, I have had the honor to display my art in twenty more outdoor public spaces and 10 indoor public spaces in the city of San Francisco. My career goal has always been to tell stories through cartoons in order promote dialogue in the community. Sometimes my public art tells historical and current events. Other times, it allows for a whimsical escape into a world of make believe, as cartoons often convey. I am in love with our Bay Area, its architecture, and the nature that is offered by the Pacific landscape. I express that love by painting Bay Area nature views and diverse neighborhoods with vibrant colors, distortions, and a sense of playfulness to those scenes. Our Bay Area embodies cultural diversity, activism, inclusiveness, and adversity; all qualities, which make us unique, and I aim to convey these sentiments in my work. As an African American artist from working class parents, these virtues are important to me. Personally, I have felt the struggle of remaining in the San Francisco Bay Area as a full time artist and that is why an important aspect of my work involves my direct work in the community. In many of my public art projects, I hire and mentor young aspiring Bay Area artists to encourage them to stay the course, stimulate the local artist economy and build their artistry skills.
