SUMMARY:Reviving a Forgotten Freetown: The Lives and Legacies of the US Colored Troops in Southeast Indianapolis
DESCRIPTION:Founded officially in 1872\, Norwood is a Reconstruction Era settlement outside the boundaries of Indianapolis. Norwood’s founders were African American veterans from Kentucky because of their service beside the Indiana 28th Regiment during the last years of the Civil War. Norwood and its partner community Barrington sat as stable\, independent Freetowns until they were annexed into Indianapolis in 1912. Using these oral histories and family archives\, we have reconstructed the story of the Southeast side of Indianapolis from the perspective of the USCT that first called it home. These stories have been left out of the dominant narratives of our culture and have only been revived through the voices of their descendants. \nPlease register for this event by clicking on the RSVP button above. \nKaila Austin (she/her) is an artist\, public historian and community activist from Indianapolis\, Indiana. In 2019\, she began Rogue Preservation Services\, a historic consulting firm\, to work with underserved communities to help them mobilize their histories to protect their ancestral spaces. Since 2021\, she has been working with six Reconstruction Era communities on the Southeast side of Indianapolis founded by the US Colored Troops: Norwood\, Barrington\, Hosbrook\, Babe Denny\, Bean Creek and Zuniville.

SUMMARY:Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows
DESCRIPTION:Join North Manchester Public Library as it hosts Dr. Tony Jean Dickerson of the Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau. Dr. Dickerson will present her talk Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows. \nArts hold a vital place of importance in our society. Quilts\, often seen as “women’s work” and “sheer arts and crafts” by some\, actually have a prominent place in telling the struggles and triumphs of many cultures. Moreover\, the African American community has fought to tell its stories and quilts have been used as an important vehicle to tell these stories. From individuals and guilds alike\, the artistry of African American quilters can no longer be denied as frontrunners of the quilting scene. \nDr. Tony Jean Dickerson (she/her) was born and raised in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, and has earned degrees from Lincoln University\, University of Central Missouri\, and University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 2019\, after a successful thirty-year career in education she earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Kansas. She returned home in 2017 and became the lead faculty for Martin University’s School of Education’s Teacher Preparation Program in June of 2022. Besides teaching\, Dr. Dickerson is a nationally recognized quilter and is a member of 8 local and national quilt guilds including the founding president of the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana. \nNote: This event is part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Community Read program.

SUMMARY:Mirrors and Windows: Reading for & Beyond Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Join Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology as it hosts Leah Milne of the Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau. Leah will present her talk Mirrors and Windows: Reading for & Beyond Empathy. \nScholar Rudine Sims Bishop and author Grace Lin liken reading to mirrors and windows. Some books are mirrors\, reflecting one’s identity. In the wake of recent race-based discussions in the US\, many readers sought windows\, books that offered insights into differing lives and experiences. This talk explores the connections between reading and empathy\, and the benefits of reading outside our comfort zones. What are strategies for reading empathetically? On the other hand\, what are the limits to this approach to empathy\, especially when reading across differences of race\, ability\, or gender? Do certain narratives more readily foster compassion? \nLeah Milne (she/her) is the author of Novel Subjects: Authorship as Radical Self-Care in Multiethnic American Narratives\, which won the 2021 Midwest Modern Language Association Book Award and examines multiculturalism and self-care in works by authors such as Carmen Maria Machado\, Ruth Ozeki\, Toni Morrison\, and Louise Erdrich. As an Associate Professor of English at the University of Indianapolis\, she teaches multicultural\, postcolonial\, and young adult literature. Her work has been published in journals and magazines such as The Journal of American Culture\, African American Review. Newsweek\, The Hill\, and Ms. Magazine. You can find out more at LeahMilne.com. \nNote: This event is part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Community Read program.

SUMMARY:Unearthed Film Tour: St. Joe County Public Library
DESCRIPTION:Indiana Humanities is hosting a multi-city film tour featuring eight new films from Hoosier filmmaking teams that showcase new perspectives on the land we call Indiana. The films are part of our larger Unearthed initiative\, Indiana Humanities’ multiyear environmental theme\, and feature stories from across the state told by Hoosiers highlighting their unique relationships with their surrounding environments. From the shores of Lake Michigan to the fields and farms of central Indiana\, the Indiana Humanities Unearthed Film Tour will provide intimate looks into the lives of Indiana residents working\, exploring\, and caring for the land. \nSee the trailer here: https://youtu.be/4GazqnQOJfQ. \nSCHEDULE: \n5:30 PM Doors open (Please note: early entry will not be permitted) \n6:00 PM Film screening begins \n7:30 PM Film screening concludes / Filmmaker Q&A begins \n8:00 Q&A concludes \nThis event is free and open to the public. These films are recommended for viewers over the age of 12. \nPlease note: Though advance registration is requested\, a ticket does not guarantee you a seat. Spots are available on a first-come\, first-served basis and we will oversell this event. Doors open 30 minutes prior to start time. Please check our website and Facebook page (@INhumanities) for the most up-to-date information on health and safety protocols at this and other locations. \nABOUT THE FILMS: \nWORM LAND \nAbout the Film: \nIn Worm Land\, farmer Keith Miller champions sustainable agriculture\, embracing no-till practices and advocating for nightcrawlers – not the little wigglers. As he faces retirement\, he reflects on a lifetime dedicated to the land. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nWill Wertz: Known for deep eye contact\, Will is a listener first. From documentary to fiction\, his films are marked by their thoughtful intentions. He is an Emmy winner\, national Addy nominee\, and film festival frequenter. Though\, you won’t often find him in the middle of those parties but rather he’ll be on the side\, in conversation\, mesmerized\, and listening. \nKolton Dallas: Kolton was raised on a farm where he fell in love with the quiet and often overlooked beauty of everyday life. With an Amish father and a hippie mother\, he’s patient and perseverant. Home videos gave him a way to listen\, computer science taught him how to handle the tech\, and in shooting skate videos he fell backwards into filmmaking. \nSYMBIOTIC HUM \nAbout the Film: \nSymbiotic Hum is a mesmerizing audiovisual poem by Jessica Dunn and Landon Caldwell that celebrates Indiana’s biodiversity through a series of artistic explorations. During the creation of the film\, the artist-filmmakers immersed themselves into the natural world by researching\, collecting\, and documenting as many native plants and seeds as possible throughout the year. Through a seamless blend of animation\, soundscapes\, poetry\, and macro/microscope videography\, the film takes audiences on an enchanting exploration of the natural world from new perspectives. \nSymbiotic Hum is more than just a film—it’s a call to reconnect with nature. Dunn and Caldwell extended their collaboration to the community\, inviting individuals to document native plants in the wild and submit photos to be incorporated in the film. Through this collaboration\, the film inspires viewers to take a closer look at the world around them and appreciate the magic that lies just beyond our doorsteps. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nJessica Dunn is a multimedia artist known for her dreamlike worlds combining animation\, sound\, and physical installations. With a scientific curiosity\, she finds inspiration by investigating the natural world as well as psychological realms of consciousness\, incorporating research with experimental practices. Lately\, Dunn has extended her practice into filmmaking including short documentaries and narrative animations. No matter the format\, Dunn’s work invites the viewer to open their perception to explore new realms of reality. \nLandon Caldwell is a composer and multi-disciplinary artist in Indianapolis whose work examines environment\, family\, & class through the language of intuition and other hidden layers of reality. Through sound\, words\, color and other materials\, his work creates environments that redirect attention to the present and open new realities through the minutiae of the everyday.Since 2016 he has co-operated Medium Sound\, producing a number of the label’s releases. From 2017 to 2020 he was a co-owner/operator of A-Space\, a community-focused audio workspace. He has toured in the United States\, Canada\, and Europe and is regularly engaged with artists and musicians across the Midwest and beyond.His collaborative work expands into multi-disciplinary fields\, working with film\, visual arts\, sculpture\, poetry\, dance\, and more. \nFINDING OUR SENSE OF PLACE IN MADISON COUNTY \nAbout the Film: \nThe landscape in Indiana plays a significant role in the identity of Hoosiers\, especially the 20-mile stretch of the White River that flows through Madison County. For centuries\, individuals have utilized this Indiana landscape to contemplate and commune with the natural world\, positively impacting their psychological and spiritual well-being and bolstering their mental health and happiness. \nAbout the Filmmaker: \nJames E. Moriarty graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

James has been happily married to his wife\, Ingrid\, since 1996. She is his muse\, business partner\, and best friend who supports him in all his creative endeavors. \nGROWN IN GARY \nAbout the Film: \nA classic Hoosier story of farms\, faith\, friends\, and community… told with a Calumet twist! \nIn a city dominated by a steel mill\, where a fifth of the built environment is abandoned and a third of all properties are dilapidated\, urban farming offers a welcome change to the appearance of the streets and brings new economic possibilities to the neighborhoods. \nDirector Raymar Brunson documents the movements of the growing season and the motions of Gary’s growers as they regenerate the soil\, educate the community\, share their harvests\, and reflect in their own words on what compels them to practice agriculture in the city. \nGrown In Gary documents a growing movement in Northwest Indiana. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nSamuel Love is the editor of The Gary Anthology (Belt\, 2020).

Gary has a sorted past when it comes to its greenspaces and allowing access to them. The fact that a garden located within the Steel City has ended up being seen as an exemplary prototype for universally designed projects across Indiana is a cause to celebrate. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nGretchen Sipp\, Production Coordinator: Gary\, Indiana native\, Gretchen Sipp began her career with gaining hands-on experience in the marketing and business building space as well as in the computer and tech skill facilitation sector. She has also established herself as a respected graphic designer and multimedia specialist.
