Introducing our 2021 Poet in Residence Catherine Kineavy! Cartography of a Community is a collaboration between poet-in-residence, Catherine Kineavy, Art Produce, and community participants, including other visual, performing, and literary artists. Using poetry, we will map out individual lives and the lives of the community members who gather for this project. In other words, together we will all become cartographers (map makers) of our lives and give meaning to our experien...ces through poetry. We will use poetry as an opening to creatively dig into our pasts, magnify our presents, and imagine our futures. This project will be anchored in poetry that will include, reading it, writing it, reflecting on it, conversing about it, and if so inclined, performing it! It is the hope that through this project, poetry will be a sanctuary for enduring transformation both personally and within our body politic. Given its medicinal powers, poetry will be a path towards healing at this unprecedented time of suffering. Poetry will be an invitation to an embodied mindfulness, and poetry will connect us and give us a sense of belonging to ourselves and the world in which we live. It is the hope and vision that through a series of community workshops, performances, and conversations, that each community member will begin to identify as a citizen artist and be activated (if not already) to participate in and transform our community using their unique abilities. We are all creative and social beings and our democracy needs us now, this residency will create pathways for our voices to be heard. All are welcome to participate in the community programming of Cartography of a Community no prior experience with poetry needed. Lots of exciting events coming up in conjunction with Catherine’s project Cartography of a Community. This project is partially funded by the California Arts Council's Artists in Communities program.

We are morning the loss of Larry T. Baza a great humanitarian and cultural leader. I cannot think of one significant positive thing in the last 40 years in San ...Diego Arts and Culture, progressive politics, and Chicano and LGBTQ rights that happened without Larry’s leadership. California has lost a beautiful, kind and brilliant man. Larry and Tom’s decades of cultural development work and support of local artists helped build our cultural landscape. I hope we can carry on Larry’s humanitarian efforts with the tireless energy, dignity and great joy he brought to the world. Our hearts go out to Tom and to their family. See more

Awesome article by @_juliaevans_ for @kpbs on our current Artist in Resident Max Lofano’s installation Ray @m_________a_________x says "I am not necessarily looking to build a work that’s going to be archival or exist forever, but more interested in going about an experiment," said Lofano. "I've found that accepting the idea that the piece might not exist forever, and actually being happy that it won't exist forever because that opens up so much more possibilities."... Read the article at the link in our bio! Thank you @_juliaevans_ and @kpbs! Ray will be on view at Art Produce (3139 University Ave in North Park) through Sunday, Jan. 3, and is best viewed at night. Also on view from the sidewalk is a series of SDSU Visual Arts MFA videos, "Intervals of Process." Come check it out! #nonprofitart #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #installationart #artistinresidence

At the same time, there is some urgency and friction developing around a dancer’s place in the world, around funding, around agency and around the structural racism of institutions. And alongside the rise of the movements for equality, like Black Lives Matter, it feels like this is a new era of the dance artist as activist someone who links the injustices raging in the world with issues in dance. Gia Kourlas
