The gifted Cuban singer Daymé Arocena also delivers her intoxicating mix of rumba, Santeria and jazz, and the Bay Area’s dance kings, the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, is also there.

Despite the fact that it’s summer, we are overstocked with cool stuff: We didn’t have a chance to talk about the incredible John Luther Adams festival, running July 26–30 at SFJAZZ (and outdoors, at \u003ca href=\"https://sfjazz.org/events/sessions/2017/jla/inuksuit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sutro Baths\u003c/a>). It looks like a huge deal, with a world premiere by the Alaskan composer on the schedule — \u003ca href=\"https://sfjazz.org/johnlutheradams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">details here.\u003c/a> And there’s no place better to be for families than at the free 30th annual Berkeley Kite Festival, running July 29-30 at the Berkeley Marina. \u003ca href=\"http://www.highlinekites.com/pages.php?pageid=21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.

The gifted Cuban singer Daymé Arocena also delivers her intoxicating mix of rumba, Santeria and jazz, and the Bay Area’s dance kings, the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, is also there. But the festival embraces all kinds of music, with a strong hit of R&B and funk this year, with Maceo Parker, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic representing the past, and East Bay band The Seshen exemplifying the future. Traditional jazz lovers will be happy to catch bassist Eddie Gomez (in a quintet with George Cables, Randy Brecker, Javon Jackson and Jimmy Cobb), and B3 organ jazz master Dr. Lonnie Smith. \u003ca href=\"https://summerfest.sanjosejazz.org/?gclid=CJOr1_3qp9UCFRKXfgodwYcOXg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/kwPEFVHZTmE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/kwPEFVHZTmE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aug. 4\u003c/strong>: One extra jazz note as the gifted ukulele player Taimane, who gets a huge sound with her three finger technique, follows her San Jose Jazz performance with a gig at Don Quixote’s in Felton, in the Santa Cruz Mountains, on Aug. 15. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bandsintown.com/event/14825388-taimane-gardner-felton-don-quixotes-international-music-hall-2017?artist=Taimane+Gardner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details here\u003c/a>.

At least one group is looking at trying to make an impact with the area’s homeless population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully these people won’t just disappear and say, ‘Oh, I had a class in 2017, and it was interesting,’” Bruguera says of her students. “Hopefully they will start practicing \u003cem>arte útil\u003c/em> and putting their knowledge into practice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe they’ll even get arrested for their art one day, too.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It shows shelves lined with beers and an old-timey refrigerator in front of it. The work is called “FREE BEER (The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest Form of Art).”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the text bot took only a week to program, it builds on a decade of work by the archivists. During that time, SFMOMA digitized about half of its 34,000 artworks to include a description and photo. The text bot culls through that data. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Winesmith said the idea behind the text bot was to reach new audiences. They wanted to reach people who might not know about SFMOMA or might not feel comfortable going to museums. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We wanted to do it in a way where they didn’t need to know art history, they didn’t know art language,” Winesmith said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They simply need to know how to text. To get the broadest reach, SFMOMA shied away from developing an app, which requires a smartphone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SFMOMA’s text project is part of a larger trend among arts organizations, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.americansforthearts.org/about-americans-for-the-arts/staff/graham-dunstan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Graham Dunstan\u003c/a>. He's the vice president of marketing at \u003ca href=\"http://www.americansforthearts.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Americans for the Arts\u003c/a>. Bringing in new audiences has been a challenge for many arts organizations and increasingly, they’re experimenting with technology to do it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I think for so long arts organizations have said, ‘Hey we have a 7 p.m. performance' or a ‘limited exhibition engagement,’ ” said Dunstan. “But these kinds of uses of technology allow people to participate the way they want to participate.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, projects like the SFMOMA text bot can help drive ticket sales. Dunstan lives in New York and said he kind of forgot about SFMOMA. But after trying out the bot, he put the museum on his list to visit the next time he’s in San Francisco. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

It shows shelves lined with beers and an old-timey refrigerator in front of it. The work is called “FREE BEER (The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest Form of Art).”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the text bot took only a week to program, it builds on a decade of work by the archivists. During that time, SFMOMA digitized about half of its 34,000 artworks to include a description and photo. The text bot culls through that data. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Winesmith said the idea behind the text bot was to reach new audiences. They wanted to reach people who might not know about SFMOMA or might not feel comfortable going to museums. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We wanted to do it in a way where they didn’t need to know art history, they didn’t know art language,” Winesmith said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They simply need to know how to text. To get the broadest reach, SFMOMA shied away from developing an app, which requires a smartphone. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">SFMOMA’s text project is part of a larger trend among arts organizations, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.americansforthearts.org/about-americans-for-the-arts/staff/graham-dunstan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Graham Dunstan\u003c/a>. He's the vice president of marketing at \u003ca href=\"http://www.americansforthearts.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Americans for the Arts\u003c/a>. Bringing in new audiences has been a challenge for many arts organizations and increasingly, they’re experimenting with technology to do it. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I think for so long arts organizations have said, ‘Hey we have a 7 p.m. performance' or a ‘limited exhibition engagement,’ ” said Dunstan. “But these kinds of uses of technology allow people to participate the way they want to participate.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the same time, projects like the SFMOMA text bot can help drive ticket sales. Dunstan lives in New York and said he kind of forgot about SFMOMA. But after trying out the bot, he put the museum on his list to visit the next time he’s in San Francisco. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And let’s not forget the exacerbating ’80s during the Iraq/Iran War, followed by Desert Storm in the early 1990s. I’ve been living a life of constant questioning, with discrimination and outright hatred towards anyone that remotely looked Middle Eastern.

Trust me; it was much worse than you could ever imagine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve also talked about the struggle that a lot of first-generation Americans face — embracing one culture is seen as the dismissal of the other; being too Iranian for the Americans, too American for the Iranians. When and how did you learn how to reconcile both aspects of your identity?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s incredibly frustrating to be called American-Iranian or Iranian-America, being told that you are more American than Iranian, or that, since you weren’t born in Iran, you are less Iranian. Who has the right to tell a person who they are or how they should define their nationality? I decide who I am and who I want to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I learned to reconcile with this by age 4, during my first visit to Iran, and every summer after that, up until my last visit during the Arab Spring. I am first and foremost Iranian, by blood and by traditional, cultural, and moral upbringing. Being American for me used to be for its freedom, but that crumbled when Trump was elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13729098\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13729098\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1020x822.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1020x822.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-800x644.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-768x619.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1180x950.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-960x773.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-240x193.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-375x302.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-520x419.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lindsay Upson Photography\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Much of your work deals with taboos in both Iranian and American culture. You’ve said that the two cultures are actually more similar than one might expect. Can you talk a bit about that?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is so easy to discuss the vast differences between the two countries and its cultures. So why not inspect a little deeper? Are there any glitches and similarities?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found an interesting article in \u003cem>The Economist\u003c/em> about the meth epidemic, which describes that dealers had been targeting women in Iran, specifically in hair salons. What is fascinating — but also outright terrifying — is the hook that was used to entice these women to smoke meth: a means to lose weight. It reminds me of the 1950s and ’60s, when pill popping was considered feminine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is Iran in the top four countries in the world for plastic surgery? Why am I constantly seeing exposed women on billboards and other public advertisements? Consumerism, illegal substances, and beauty ideals are all commonalities between Iranian and American culture. There was a time when I felt it was important to focus my work in locating and describing these similarities once and for all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13729099\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13729099\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-1020x1183.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"742\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-1020x1183.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-160x186.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-800x928.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-768x890.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-960x1113.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-240x278.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-375x435.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1-520x603.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile-Picture_Taravat_1.jpeg 1104w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Aaron Hewitt Photography\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Your work, which sometimes involves hits of acid, hash oil, and meth pipes, has been called “blasphemous drug art.” What do you want people to take away from your use of illegal substances as material?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Provocation has always been a form of allegory in my work. My portrayal of Muslim leaders is knowingly flippant — a gesture that would surely be censored in Iran, though in America the risks are fewer. The inclusion of illicit materials takes the provocation further by both parodying the image of Khomeini and making his image complicit in contraband activities, all at the hand of a woman no less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The choice of medium becomes crucial. It confidently declares “not only do I have the power to recreate your image” — to own it, in some way — “I will also consume it” — adding insult to insult — “and get high off it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>You’ve had art shows all around the world — you’ve even had an exhibition in Alabama, of all places. How did people from that community react to your work?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I honestly was grateful for the community’s curiosities and had endless conversations with all types of people, particularly Jordan Amirkhani, who had traveled by train from Tennessee to meet me and pick my brain.

Kim, an American Spy, ha! All of a sudden, Iranian officials came out describing their distaste for Kim, accusing her of working for Instagram as part of a complicated ploy to target young women and corrupt them with aspirational photos depicting a lifestyle that’s at odds with Islam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Islamic Revolutionary Guard instituted an online surveillance program called “Project Spider” and started arresting hundreds of women living in Iran for indecent Instagram posts, mostly based on images of them without a headscarf. While the idea of Kim Kardashian as a secret agent might be absurd, the whole ordeal is no laughing matter; women are being targeted for prosecution.

When and how did you learn how to reconcile both aspects of your identity?\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s incredibly frustrating to be called American-Iranian or Iranian-America, being told that you are more American than Iranian, or that, since you weren’t born in Iran, you are less Iranian. Who has the right to tell a person who they are or how they should define their nationality? I decide who I am and who I want to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I learned to reconcile with this by age 4, during my first visit to Iran, and every summer after that, up until my last visit during the Arab Spring. I am first and foremost Iranian, by blood and by traditional, cultural, and moral upbringing. Being American for me used to be for its freedom, but that crumbled when Trump was elected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13729098\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13729098\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1020x822.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"516\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1020x822.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-160x129.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-800x644.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-768x619.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-1180x950.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-960x773.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-240x193.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-375x302.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2-520x419.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Profile_Picture_Taravat_2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Lindsay Upson Photography\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Much of your work deals with taboos in both Iranian and American culture.

It reminds me of the 1950s and ’60s, when pill popping was considered feminine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why is Iran in the top four countries in the world for plastic surgery? Why am I constantly seeing exposed women on billboards and other public advertisements? Consumerism, illegal substances, and beauty ideals are all commonalities between Iranian and American culture.

While the idea of Kim Kardashian as a secret agent might be absurd, the whole ordeal is no laughing matter; women are being targeted for prosecution.

Proceeds from the plates would fund family planning services through the Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FPACT) program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special license plate would feature the phrase “California Trusts Women” and artwork from one of three California artists, including Berkeley-based art teacher and illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl, best known for her work in the book series \u003ci>Rad Women.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The artists all care passionately about this cause and were excited to be part of another groundbreaking, visible part of the resistance,” said Rebecca Griffin, director of NARAL Pro-Choice California. “Of course a lot of people know Miriam Klein Stahl from her great illustrations for the \u003cem>Rad Women\u003c/em> books, which encapsulate the leadership, community and solidarity we want to evoke with the license plates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stahl, a longtime teacher at Berkeley High School and co-founder of its Arts & Humanities Academy, was one of the artists recommended to NARAL Pro-Choice California, which is working in coordination with the state to create and distribute these license plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Artists, performers, writers and activists are voicing their desire for a world that we could and should have that is feminist, equitable and loving,” said Stahl. “The current political climate is none of those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her design, a paper-cut illustration of two protesting women set against a yellow backdrop, falls in line with the arresting style she put forth in her illustrations for \u003cem>Rad Women Worldwide\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Rad American Women A-Z.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California would be the second state, following Virginia, to offer pro-choice license plates. But 29 states, including Virginia, offer pro-life equivalents — 15 of which use the revenue generated to fund anti-choice groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has a long history of leadership on reproductive rights,” said Sen. Jackson in a press release. “This license plate represents one way that we can demonstrate that we will stay true to our values and the right of every woman to safe, affordable and quality reproductive health care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill has already passed the Senate, and is currently in the State Assembly awaiting committee approval.

Proceeds from the plates would fund family planning services through the Family Planning, Access, Care and Treatment (FPACT) program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special license plate would feature the phrase “California Trusts Women” and artwork from one of three California artists, including Berkeley-based art teacher and illustrator Miriam Klein Stahl, best known for her work in the book series \u003ci>Rad Women.\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The artists all care passionately about this cause and were excited to be part of another groundbreaking, visible part of the resistance,” said Rebecca Griffin, director of NARAL Pro-Choice California. “Of course a lot of people know Miriam Klein Stahl from her great illustrations for the \u003cem>Rad Women\u003c/em> books, which encapsulate the leadership, community and solidarity we want to evoke with the license plates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stahl, a longtime teacher at Berkeley High School and co-founder of its Arts & Humanities Academy, was one of the artists recommended to NARAL Pro-Choice California, which is working in coordination with the state to create and distribute these license plates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Mance says that until she dug into this project, she hadn’t truly been seeing the young men with sagging pants she passed every day on the street. She realized she had drawn a disproportionate number of black men wearing suits and glasses like the men she grew up with, or the men she met in college. With time, she says, she has had to learn to expand her gaze.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This all happened one night at the dinner table. By the end of the night we came to realize we had to create just that for ourselves and others — coming up with a name, a mission statement, creating a blog, and taking photos of us together. Within a few months, Sarah and Anna Luisa were asked to join. We grew into a dynamic group who traveled together, shot video, performed, and have now expanded into curatorial projects and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/GfoIS2e-aCI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you do as a collective that you wouldn’t be able to accomplish individually?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sarah:\u003c/b> The first thing that comes to my mind is just the breadth of skills reflected in the collective– everyone brings so much knowledge!

In the art world there’s tendency for things to be really centered around ego and the individual. To me, so much of that is tied to capitalism and patriarchy, and I don’t want my art practice to reflect that. I think when you create collectively it allows for expansiveness and depth that sometimes is hard to reach in isolation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13690087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13690087\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Black-Salt-Collective-2-e1500497642694.jpg\" alt=\"Black Salt Collective: Sarah Biscarra-Dilley, Adee Roberson, Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Salt Collective (L-R): Sarah Biscarra-Dilley, Adee Roberson, Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko \u003ccite>(Photo by Texas Isaiah)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s your approach to group decision-making?

Adee, Fanciulla Gentile (who makes music under \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/fanciullagentile\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Creatrix\u003c/a>), and I were living in a house together and were talking about creating work as women of color, looking for platforms of support, feeling alienated at times in the work we were making. This all happened one night at the dinner table. By the end of the night we came to realize we had to create just that for ourselves and others — coming up with a name, a mission statement, creating a blog, and taking photos of us together. Within a few months, Sarah and Anna Luisa were asked to join. We grew into a dynamic group who traveled together, shot video, performed, and have now expanded into curatorial projects and more.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/GfoIS2e-aCI'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/GfoIS2e-aCI'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What can you do as a collective that you wouldn’t be able to accomplish individually?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Sarah:\u003c/b> The first thing that comes to my mind is just the breadth of skills reflected in the collective– everyone brings so much knowledge!

This shared labor — creative and emotional — is actually very healing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Adee:\u003c/b> So many things! But what immediately comes to mind is having so much support. In the art world there’s tendency for things to be really centered around ego and the individual. To me, so much of that is tied to capitalism and patriarchy, and I don’t want my art practice to reflect that. I think when you create collectively it allows for expansiveness and depth that sometimes is hard to reach in isolation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13690087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13690087\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Black-Salt-Collective-2-e1500497642694.jpg\" alt=\"Black Salt Collective: Sarah Biscarra-Dilley, Adee Roberson, Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Black Salt Collective (L-R): Sarah Biscarra-Dilley, Adee Roberson, Grace Rosario Perkins and Anna Luisa Petrisko \u003ccite>(Photo by Texas Isaiah)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What’s your approach to group decision-making?

The show touches on how African religions (Yoruba and others) feature female deities. But it’s also about how artists, like gods, are creators. “What does it mean for a black woman to create,” Seneferu told me, with Green finishing her thought. “To add to that, to have the audacity to create.” Green said. “When you look around this room, you’ll find a lot of women who’ve been creating in hiding. Most of these artists have experienced someone telling them that it (their work) doesn’t look good or doesn’t fit.

The local festival is hosted by \u003ca href=\"http://youthspeaks.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Youth Speaks\u003c/a>, which trains Bay Area kids to write and perform. When she was a teenager, A-lan used to sneak out of her home in Los Angeles to attend Grand Slam competitions. She was knocked out by the passion and brilliance of the performers, the laughter and the deep introspection. The \u003ca href=\"http://bnv17.youthspeaks.org/the-slam/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">semi-finals and quarter-finals are at venues all over Berkeley and Oakland on Friday\u003c/a> afternoon and evening and they’re free, and the Grand Slam finals are at the San Francisco Opera House, a venue used to high emotion.

The workshops are in San Francisco at Dance Mission Theater in the Mission and at the Deaf Community Center in San Leandro. \u003ca href=\"http://www.realurbanjazzdance.com/bay-area-international-deaf-dance-festival.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Details for the festival are here. pat Dance Mission Theater in San Francisco are here. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPbiklLnDQo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>July 26\u003c/strong>: Beth Ditto says she never fit in in her hometown in rural Arkansas, maybe because she describes herself as a “fat feminist lesbian.” The former lead singer for the band Gossip has a hot album out now on her own that features 12 new songs. I love how she brings so much country to this mix of disco and power ballad and rock and roll. A-lan loves how the way she presses a body-positive message in danceable form. She’s known for her powerful live shows, so we’re wishing her best after a hospitalization earlier this month in New York and hopes that it doesn’t derail the rest of her tour. \u003ca href=\"http://www.theindependentsf.com/event/1479457-beth-ditto-san-francisco/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Details for her show at the Independent in San Francisco are here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks so much to A-lan for joining us this week\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13696992\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13696992\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-800x416.jpg\" alt=\"KQED's Cy Musiker and Stanford's A-lan Holt hosted The Do List this week\" width=\"800\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-800x416.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-160x83.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-768x399.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-1020x530.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-1920x998.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-1180x613.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-960x499.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-240x125.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-375x195.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/07/Image-uploaded-from-iOS-3-e1500505303140-520x270.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KQED’s Cy Musiker and Stanford’s A-lan Holt hosted The Do List this week \u003ccite>(Photo: Chloe Veltman/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n",

The show touches on how African religions (Yoruba and others) feature female deities. But it’s also about how artists, like gods, are creators. “What does it mean for a black woman to create,” Seneferu told me, with Green finishing her thought. “To add to that, to have the audacity to create.” Green said. “When you look around this room, you’ll find a lot of women who’ve been creating in hiding. Most of these artists have experienced someone telling them that it (their work) doesn’t look good or doesn’t fit.

I love how she brings so much country to this mix of disco and power ballad and rock and roll. A-lan loves how the way she presses a body-positive message in danceable form.
