5. Exhibition: Landscape, Remembrance, and Healing
Opening Thursday, March 16 from 4:30 - 6 PM
Lecture Thursday, March 23 at 5 PM
College of Environment + Design, Jackson Street Building
As a medical practitioner, yogi, and artist, Rich Panico has a deep and multi-faceted understanding of the human condition. Rich's current interest in art and medicine addresses the propensity of our species to turn the inevitable human experiences of pain and loss into suffering, which, if not understood and engaged in wisely, leads to the acquisition of co-morbid (the simultaneous presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in a patient) psychiatric syndromes and complex encounters with our challenging medical system.

Considered by many to be a primogenitor of the Athens music scene, Ayers returned to Athens after a stint in NYC during which he was a member of Andy Warhol's Factory.

8. ICE Reading Room: Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen Document the Real Power of Art
"What can art do in a time of turmoil? Documentary filmmakers Jeff Malmberg and Chris Shellen have made a career of showing how individuals and communities use art to work through personal, political and public issues. Their 2010 documentary Marwencol, which won numerous awards, documents how Mark Hogancamp uses photography and story-making to deal with a traumatic brain injury. A new film called Spettacolo - their Creative Capital project, premiering at SXSW in Austin, TX, explores how villagers in a small Italian farming town preserve their heritage and confront community issues by turning their lives into an annual play."

If you are an ally, we want to hear from you too!
What are we looking for? Creative responses to the theme "Diversity enriches the U.S." Submissions can be in any of the arts including dance, visual art, film, music, and poetry!

Oh and by the way, what is a hyphenated American? Well, you know... Latin-American, Arab- American, Muslim-American, African-American, to name a few, but you get the idea.

12. a2ru National Conference
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement
November 1-4, 2017
Deadline: April 7
Boston, MA
http://a2ru.org/events/2017-national-conference/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) is pleased to announce the 2017 a2ru National Conference, hosted by the Northeastern University with additional conference events throughout hosted by Boston University, Massachusetts Institute for Technology, and Tufts University.
Arts in the Public Sphere: Civility, Advocacy, and Engagement will use the city of Boston as a starting point for discussion and engagement. As a 21st century global city, Boston embodies many of the issues that drive diverse contemporary cultural contexts. It supports a rich and continually evolving sense of civic realms, and is home to leading arts, educational, medical, industrial and corporate entities invested in innovative modes of research, practice and civic participation. There is also clear recognition that the 'public sphere' is not confined to large metropolitan regions. Creating dynamic communities that engage and extend beyond traditional boundaries - in both virtual and material ways - remains a growing challenge and the work before us.
a2ru invites proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners investigating the intersections, synergies, and interfaces of arts in the public sphere and their influence on civility, advocacy, and engagement. We seek proposals from: university-level faculty, administrators, and students, as well as civic leaders and representatives from industry, private enterprise, sectors outside the arts that incorporate the arts and design in their work, and public/private arts, culture, and civic organizations. We invite proposals from researchers, field leaders, and practitioners around the 2017 them and/or that address issues relevant to the mission of a2ru.
FORMATS FOR PARTICIPATION
Papers or alternative equivalents such as performances or time-based media presentations. 3-4 papers/performances/presentations will be grouped by the selection committee into 90-minute sessions around common themes.
Discussion panels. Panels should focus around a conference-themed topic and include a moderator and at least 3 panelists; each panelist is encouraged to offer a brief position paper or introductory presentation to uniquely enhance audience discussion. Panels should build in a direct dialog interface with attendees within an overall 90-minute session.
Working groups. Groups provide opportunity for immersive work sessions that participants sign up for in advance of the conference. Proposals should include a focus topic in relation to the conference themes as well as the intended working methods and outcomes of the group process.
Proposals will be reviewed and accepted through a blind peer review process by a2ru partner scholars, practitioners, and researchers.
