FRONT Triennial Presents a Zoom Forum on Creativity & Healing

Sun 9/27 @ 11AM-1PM

While FRONT International Triennial has been pushed back to 2022 from its original slot in the summer of 2012, you won’t have to wait that long to get involved with it.

“From the start, we’ve thought about, FRONT 2022  as a ‘slow exhibition,’ where process is an essential part of the show that unfurls in July 2022,” they say. “This is also how we interpret the poem ‘Two Somewhat Different Epigrams’ by Langston Hughes, which inspired the title of our show, Oh, Gods of Dust and Rainbows. Pain and travails, as difficult as they are, can sometimes function as waystations to learning. Over the coming months, we will be testing out new formats and ways to engage with our communities, both in Cleveland and farther flung, as ways to gather together for exchange, healing and collective joy.”

That kicks of with what they’re calling a “prototype” of the new “season” of Present!, which they describe as “a virtual workshop, talk show, and Sunday sermon (with some group karaoke and dancing thrown in!).” It’s produced by FRONT artistic director Prem Krishnamurthy in collaboration with a group of international artists, designers, curators and others.

To find out what it’s all about, tune in on Zoom on Sunday September 27. It will look at how individual artists and collective actions can contribute to using creativity to heal. It will feature FRONT Artistic Team member Kameelah Janan Rasheed, Cleveland writer/musician RA Washington, and clinical psychologist (and former artist) Tamara Sussman.

It’s free and open to all. Hook up here.
