SUMMARY:Enduring Power - Photography Exhibit - Nov. 2 - Dec. 17
DESCRIPTION:Enduring Power: \nThe Middle Eastern and Iranian Women’s Story \n— A Photography Exhibit — \nNovember 2 – December 17\, 2015 \nAT: Resource Center for Nonviolence\, 612 Ocean St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA \nExhibit HOURS: M-TH noon – 4p.m. or by appointment\, 831-423-1626 \nSponsored by the Resource Center for Nonviolence and Senses Cultural\, \nEnduring Power’s striking images represent a wide range of experiences\, aspirations\, fears and realities of Middle Eastern and Iranian women from Yemen\, Egypt\, Bahrain\, Iran and Kuwait.  A collection of work from several female photographers of Middle Eastern backgrounds\, Enduring Power shows an intimate and unique perspective of an otherwise private world to the American audience. This exhibition\, curated by photographer Sina Araghi\, presents powerful stories of education\, individuality\, familial relationships\, societal restraints\, and boldness. \n“Peering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. These photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. Their sense of identity has not been erased by culture or governments. \n   These women are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and a sense of individuality is present. They are not weak or afraid. They are powerful and energized. They command your attention and your interest. Let their stories be heard.” — Sina Araghi\, curator of Enduring Power \nSenses Cultural\, Davis\, CA\, and the Resource Center for Nonviolence are collaborating on this Senses Cultural’s traveling photography exhibition\, which was previously at UC Davis\, San Francisco State University. Senses Cultural believes that women – mothers\, grandmothers\, and daughters – have been the quiet strength that protects the rights of their families\, communities\, and nations. \nPlease join us for the First Friday EXHIBIT RECEPTION on December 4\, 6-9p.m. featuring Tata Masud\, Founder and CEO of Senses Cultural\, Davis\, CA. Light refreshments will be available. \nCo-sponsors (list in formation):  WILPF Santa Cruz \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org \nCurator Statement by Sina Araghi\nEnduring Power: The Middle Eastern and Iranian Woman’s Story is a collection of work by seven female photographers from Egypt\, Kuwait\, Bahrain\, Yemen\, and Iran\, examining the lives and livelihoods of women in that region. \nApart from their exceptional photographic work\, these photographers were selected in great part due to their diverse coverage of topics regarding women\, spanning across many different countries throughout the Middle East. \nPeering behind the veil and headscarves to reveal real individuals is a delicate but necessary boundary to push. It is so vital to the future and progress of women in these cultures to be seen succeeding\, thriving\, and discovering – all on their own. Whether they are generations apart or contemporaries\, progress is achieved when women grow and improve on their own terms\, separate from the male influence that so strongly permeates their public culture and the worldwide media. There is an almost constant push/pull between the individualized and powerful identity of the Middle Eastern woman\, and the attempts by culture and government to erase that identity. \nThis collection of images illustrate how that sense of identity has not been erased. This collection is a celebration of the progress and growth that has happened\, and a tangible foreshadowing of what is still to come. \nThe division of gender throughout daily life creates two very different worlds within the same culture. The photographic perspective in this exhibition is unique to women who are inside these cultures and countries. These 7 photographers are not outsiders\, tourists\, or just passing through\, and the familiarity and camaraderie felt between ‘insiders’ is tangible in these photographs. Being a female photographer creates uniquely privileged access into the lives and experiences of the Middle Eastern woman – access into a world that men seldom are privy to. Respecting this access while still honoring the truth in moments witnessed requires grace and trust. There is fragility in that access. As an Iranian male photographer\, I admire this perspective\, knowing full well the limitations and privileges of my own gender. \nCollectively\, these photographs speak of the greater issues of identity and resilience\, and the strength of women within these regions. They are empowering themselves – against all obstacles – through their own will. A clear defiance and sense of individuality is present (an especially sacred quality in a world of appearance commonality)\, and there is no apologizing for any of it. These women are not weak or afraid. They are resilient\, powerful\, and energized. They command your attention and your interest. \nLet their stories be heard. \n-Sina Araghi\, curator \nFor more information: 831-423-1626\, rcnv.org

SUMMARY:From Ferguson to Salinas: Intersections Against State-Sanctioned Violence
DESCRIPTION:From Ferguson to Salinas: Intersections Against State-Sanctioned Violence \nMarch 6 at the Oakes Learning Center\, University of California\, Santa Cruz \nMarch 7 at the Resource Center for Nonviolence\, Santa Cruz \nAs folks across the country demand justice for Mike Brown and Eric Garner\, community members in Salinas\, CA are fighting the police murders of Angel Ruiz\, 42 (d. March 20\, 2014); Osman Hernandez\, 26 (d May 9\, 2014); Carlos Mejia-Gomez\, 44 (d. May 20\, 2014); Frank Alvarado\, Jr.\, 39 (d. July 10\, 2014); and Jaime Garcia\, 35 (d. October 31\, 2014). “From Ferguson to Salinas: Intersections Against State-Sanctioned Violence” brings together community members\, political organizers\, scholars\, and artists/poets from across California to discuss the ongoing historical crisis of state-sanctioned violence against people of color and the movement to oppose white supremacist policing in the U.S. We hope to build upon the momentum we’ve witnessed over the last six months as people have taken to the streets to demand justice and offer visions of a world in which black and brown lives matter. We seek an analysis of the historical relationship between anti-black and anti-brown violence in the U.S. in the hopes of strengthening cross-racial solidarities. We seek to raise awareness about the intersections between racialization and economic violence\, between police brutality and mass incarceration\, and between intimate and state-based gender violence. We are interested in building connections between those who are grieving the loss of their loved ones\, those who fight to stay alive despite the injustices of the U.S. justice system\, and those who mobilize poetic imaginaries to build the world anew. \nMarch 7\, 10-4 // Resource Center for Nonviolence \nOfrenda y altares Workshop\, 10-11:30 am \nLed by Emma Garcia from the Santa Cruz Arts Council\, this workshop will teach participants how to create altars to commemorate people who have been harmed by the state. We will make four altars in total — one for the indigenous communities who lived\, struggled\, and died at Mission Santa Cruz in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; one for the people persecuted by the anti-Chinese movement in Santa Cruz throughout the nineteenth century; one for Jose Chamales and Francisco Arias\, who were lynched by a mob and hanged from the Water Street Bridge in 1877; and one for the people of Salinas who are being targeted and murdered by police today. Participants will later deliver these altars to sites we visit during the anti-colonial walking tour. \nLunch served by Food Not Bombs \nPoetic Imaginaries Against Violence\, 12-1:30 pm \nReadings and Discussion with Ronaldo Wilson (Assistant Professor\, Literature and Creative Writing\, UCSC\, and author of Poems of the Black Object and Narrative of the Life of the Brown Boy and the White Man) and Tisa Bryant (Critical Studies Faculty\, California Institute of the Arts\, and author of Unexplained Presence\, [the curator]\, and Tzimmes). \nAnti-Colonial Walking Tour\, 2-5 pm \nWe will leave the RCNV at 2 pm to visit sites of white supremacist violence in Santa Cruz\, including Mission Santa Cruz\, the Front St. Post Office (one of four former Chinatowns)\, the alley beside the El Palomar Restaurant (where Eduardo Carrillo’s mural was destroyed by the city)\, the Water Street Bridge\, and the Beach Flats. Each site will be narrated by a different storyteller\, as well as activated by the altars we leave behind.
