SUMMARY:C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me)
DESCRIPTION:WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A CAREER FAIR WAS MORE LIKE A BLOCK PARTY?  \n\n\n\nRather than a serious event with subtle and overt inequities built in\, artist Ayana Evans imagines a space where fantasy and fun reign over traditional standards of “professionalism.” This vision comes to life with this completely free\, non-traditional career fair. \n\n\n\nOpen to all\, but designed to serve Black\, Brown\, Indigenous\, queer and trans folks – and those who have been formerly incarcerated\, have court-involvement histories\, or have otherwise been system-affected. \n\n\n\nTo foster a welcoming space that works against hierarchies\, stigmas\, and white supremacist standards of professionalism\, no one at the fair will wear suits; instead\, participants will be dressed in casual\, colorful clothes and we encourage job-seekers and other attendees to do the same. \n\n\n\nIn an effort to further support those who are often left out of the conversation around career advancement and to demystify building a career in arts and tech\, the C.R.E.A.M. Career Fair will feature workshops on successful resume writing (especially for early-career job seekers and those with gaps in work history)\, panel discussions with advice on how to build a career in the fields of tech\, art\, and culture\, as well as spaces to learn how to use art to manage the stresses of looking for employment and being systematically marginalized. \n\n\n\n***This program is part of Weeksville Weekends. Sign ups for free tours of Weeksville’s Historic Hunterfly Road Houses will be available on-site on a first-come\, first-served basis.*** \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\n\n\nWeeksville Heritage Center158 Buffalo AvenueBrooklyn\, NY 11213 (map) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGET TIPS ON CRAFTING A RESUME AND COVER LETTER\, ORGANIZATIONAL RESOURCES\, REENTRY SERVICES AND MORE FROM THE C.R.E.A.M. ZINE \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS\n\n\n\n2:00pm Career Fair opens; drop in career advice and information on internships\, fellowships\, and youth programs available with DJ Monday Blue playing old-school classics mixed with Afro-beats  \n\n\n\n2:15pm Gallery opens and food from Peaches Hot House (courtesy of Twitter’s Culture & Community Team & donor Helen Stoddard) is served for the first 50 attendees. \n\n\n\n2:30pm Panel on careers in arts & tech featuring DonChristian Jones\, Founder of Public Assistants; Shaquana Joseph\, Senior Client Partner at Twitter; and Ravon Ruffin\, CEO & Co-Founder of Brown Art Ink and Program & Communications Manager\, NEW INC  \n\n\n\n3:30pm–6:00pm Drop-in Sun Printing with Recess Art’s Assembly Program  \n\n\n\n3:30pm–6:00pm Drop-in Clay Exploration with ArtShack  \n\n\n\n3:30pm Résumé workshop focused on addressing gaps in work history\,e potentially due to incarceration by Mark Daly\, Career Services Supervisor of Brooklyn Public Library’s Business & Career Center  \n\n\n\n5:00pm Career panel featuring Daonne Huff\, Director of Public Programs at The Studio Museum in Harlem; Jodi Waynberg\, Director of Artists Alliance Inc.; and Alessandro Facente\, Independent Art Critic & Curator at Artists Alliance Inc. \n\n\n\n6:00pm Arts Workshop on Centering and Stress-Reduction titled “Liberation through the four bodies (Physical\, Mental\, Emotional\, Spiritual)” by Jeannette Rodriguez-Pineda\, teaching artist from The Studio Museum in Harlem \n\n\n\n7:00pm Career Fair closes\, with reminder of the opportunity to view the public art installation C.R.E.A.M.: So let’s start a revolution outdoors after dark \n\n\n\n*Please note: Due to rain\, this event will now be indoors. Face masks that cover nose\, mouth\, and chin are required indoors at all times. \n\n\n\nC.R.E.A.M. Career Fair is also presented in conjunction with Something Like Freedom\, Weeksville’s season-long inquiry exploring the lineage and future of abolition practices and how they relate to our local community histories. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProject Supporters\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPartner Organizations\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur Partner Organizations are committed to non-discriminatory hiring processes and/or offering support services for individuals impacted by the prison industrial complex. We encourage all employers and individuals who hire to consider what changes can be made to their processes to lessen structural exclusion of formerly incarcerated folks\, the majority of whom\, due to the direct link between carceral systems and chattel slavery\, are Black. One place to begin research is with NYC’s Fair Chance Act\, which makes it illegal for most employers in New York City to ask about the criminal record of job applicants before making a job offer. Ads\, applications\, and interview questions cannot include inquiries into or comments on an applicant’s criminal record. However\, there is much more to be done. Join us for further Something Like Freedom programs to explore abolitionist practices and frameworks with Weeksville Heritage Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is presented in conjunction with C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me): So let’s start a got damn revolution\, a site-specific\, public art project on WHC’s campus. The installation – a series of videos with images from Ayana’s performance archive combined with text highlighting statistics on mass incarceration and economic inequality – will be projected into our exterior windows. More information can be found HERE.

SUMMARY:THE BODY POPULAR: BEYOND THE FLAT with Zachary Fabri & Samantha Box
DESCRIPTION:People have long used portraits to communicate ideas about identity and power. Today\, there is a growing sense of the limits and possibility of a portrait to capture the nuance & fullness of a person. Circulated images can raise the profile of an individual\, capture the pulse of the moment\, yet can also broadcast unhelpful and unexamined narratives.⁣ \n\n\n\nBEYOND THE FLAT\, a live\, outdoor performance by Zachary Fabri\, is based on a portrait by artist Samantha Box (above). This performance leans into the ambiguity around portraiture. ⁣ Fabri’s performance will consider the lifeforce of a portrait\, the sitter\, the viewer\, and the context of creation. \n\n\n\nIn order to better understand the context of the performance sites\, tickets come with a promo code for a FREE tour of Weeksville’s historic houses and grounds; we encourage attendees to sign up for expanded tours on the performance date (Saturday\, 3/19) ⁣Tickets for the 6pm performance.There are also a limited number of no-cost tickets available for our Weeksville community members and for those who are unable to pay the full ticket cost. \n\n\n\nEmail info@weeksvillesociety.org to reserve a free ticket. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details \n\n\n\n\n\nWeeksville Heritage Center158 Buffalo AvenueBrooklyn\, NY 11213 (map)
