SUMMARY:Performing Arts Series presents Butterscotch
DESCRIPTION:This expert vocal percussionist creates one-of-a-kind tunes\, lyrics and music\, by using any number of tools in her arsenal — singing\, beatboxing\, rapping\, looping\, piano and guitar playing — often at the same time. And\, she’s really good at all of them. \nThis native Sacramentan has made a name for herself in the male-dominated field of beatboxing\, her stellar ability earning her the title of the first female international beatboxing champion. Her singing has been described as “drizzling her vocals like melted caramel over every note.” Her voice has been likened to Billie Holiday’s\, and her rap verses comparable to Lauryn Hill’s. \nThe compositions Butterscotch creates span various genres\, including hip-hop\, rhythm and blues\, jazz and classical\, as she’s influenced by many diverse artists\, from Chopin to Chaka Khan and John Coltrane to Stevie Wonder. \nThrough her music\, this quadruple threat defies social constructs of music and gender. She’s not afraid to get deeply personal in her lyrics\, even discussing her struggles with depression and with being a biracial queer woman of color.

SUMMARY:"Stay At Home Mondays" - a Photography Exhibition by Sierra Hayre and the late Casey Hayre
DESCRIPTION:Sierra Hayre is an Artist/illustrator\, author\, and writer transplanted from sun and palm trees to snow and sagebrush. She paints and photographs.  She finds inspiration from the world around her\, from her children to the happenings of everyday life. “Art is the root word of Earth. It’s the soil for some and sunshine for most. It cultivates something inside of everyone. It speaks for the ones that can not\, it shows emotions\, whereas there wouldn’t be. It is tangible to our hearts\, mind\, and soul” Sierra says. \nWhen she first started taking photos it was to match her late husbands’ style. But then grew into something more her own while still holding on to the spirit of Casey.  This art show will be in his honor. “Grief is heavy. So many emotions with nowhere to go. Art has always been an outlet but with this new entity having the ability to do art in many different ways helps immensely. That keeps me taking photos.” \nJoin us for Sierra’s beautiful art show “Stay at Home Mondays” \nOpening Saturday\, May 13th at 6 pm! \n  \nThis show will hang in our gallery until June 14th.

SUMMARY:Ella: Women in the EZLN
DESCRIPTION:Ella [eh-yah]: Women in the EZLN is an exhibition based on Diana M Espinoza Chamale’s Master’s thesis: “Decolonizing Mexican American Museums: Exhibiting Indigenous Feminism in the 1994 Zapatista Political Uprising”\n \n“Ella: Women in the EZLN” focuses on the roles of the women involved in the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) in Mexico. This bilingual museum exhibit shares their story\, as told through their own words\, and brings attention to a new audience in order to acknowledge their efforts and support their cause. A commitment to Indigenous paradigms and storytelling informed the creation of this exhibit as a way for the Tzotzil\, Tzeltal\, Tojolabal\, Chol\, Mame and Zoque peoples to hold greater control over their historical narratives and representation. It is with great hope that the stories of these amazing mujeres may challenge and redefine how we view Mexican\, Mexican American and Indigenous women. The exhibit will be on display in the Sheppard Fine Art Gallery on the main UNR campus from May 19 – June 7. \nThis exhibition examines the Women of the EZLN and is curated by historian Diana M. Espinoza Chamale and Mujeres Zapatistas. \nReception:\nMay 19th\, 2023 at 5:00pm

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Eunkang Koh: Desire
DESCRIPTION:Eunkang Koh: Desire\n\nExhibition Dates: May 15 – September 14\, 2023\nArtist’s Reception: Tuesday\, September 5\, 5 – 6:30pm; artist’s introduction at 5:30pm\nExhibition Venue: Bristlecone Gallery\, Western Nevada College\, 2201 W College Parkway\, Carson City \nDesire\nExhibition in WNC’s Bristlecone Gallery\nEunkang Koh said\, “My recent work responds to lifestyles and thinking processes that are often ruled by consumerism.” In her Desire exhibition for the Capital City Arts Initiative\, Koh presents sculptures and prints laced with diversity and humor. \nThe exhibit is open to the public May 15 – September 14\, 2023\, Monday through Friday\, 8am – 7pm\, in Western Nevada College’s Bristlecone Gallery\, 2201 W College Parkway\, Carson City. Visit the gallery over the summer and then return on Tuesday\, September 5\, 5pm – 6:30pm for the artist’s reception; the artist introduction is at 5:30pm. \nKoh noted\, “In my artwork\, I draw from the human circumstances that flourish between reality and perception. Born and raised in the Korean myth culture and adopting Buddhist philosophy\, I assume that the world we are living in is not real but is an illusion that we perceive. I doubt that there is anything like truth in a concrete sense. I aim to create my own illusion in my art. My images are my way of seeing the world without pretense.” \nOften using half-animal and half-human figures in her artwork\, she said\, “Those hybrid creatures represent portraits\, humans as social animals and the society that we live in often expressing the absurdity of the human world. They portray ironic gestures that create a mixture of humor and grotesqueness\, reflecting life in our society.” \nKoh feels that her recent work responds to lifestyles and thinking processes that are often ruled by consumerism. She talks about her creatures as “a portrait of us\, humans who reside in this illusionary world created by our own systems.” \nTo show the mass consumer culture where humans live in today’s contemporary society\, Koh employs different types of printmaking techniques incorporating other media such as relief\, intaglio\, screen printing\, as well as digital processes\, and new technologies like laser cutter and 3D printer that she combines with sewing\, ceramics\, bookbinding\, etc. She also experiments with human-made materials such as plastic boxes\, vinyl sheets\, and paper bags\, products that symbolize our micromanaged and controlled society. \nA native of South Korea\, Eunkang Koh received a B.F.A. from Hong-Ik University in Seoul\, South Korea\, and an M.F.A. from California State University\, Long Beach. Koh has also participated national and international group exhibitions in Canada\, Spain\, South Korea\, China\, and New York City. Koh has been invited to artist-in-residencies including Northern Ireland\, Belgium\, China\, India\, and Berkeley\, California. \nKoh is an Associate Professor in printmaking in the Art Department at the University of Nevada Reno. \nJosie Glassberg wrote the essay for the exhibition — available online and in the gallery. Glassberg is a freelance writer whose work has regularly appeared in Double Scoop Art News\, the Reno News & Review\, and Fibonacci magazine. She attended St. Olaf College for printmaking and enjoys writing about art in the West when she’s not busy with her main gig as a garden teacher. \nCarlos Ramirez\, a Western Nevada College Latino Leadership Academy student\, provided a Spanish translation of the show’s wall text. \nWestern Nevada College is a component of the Nevada System of Higher Education\, with campuses in Carson City\, Douglas County\, and Fallon.

SUMMARY:The Therapist Presented by The Asylum Theatre
DESCRIPTION:How do you look the enemy in the eye? A human rights lawyer receives an unusual proposal: to organize a yoga workshop for the leaders of Peru’s most notorious terrorist groups. Can those responsible for such suffering be changed? ‘The Therapist’ is above all a settling of accounts with past demons. The play takes us back in time through our protagonist’s early years\, marked by abandonment and solitude. A time when violence stalked the country\, as well as home. \nThe Asylum Theatre is proud to present THE THERAPIST a new English translation by resident playwright Gigi Guizado of Gabriela Yepes’ award-winning Peruvian play LA TERAPEUTA. There will be two performances at Winchester Dondero Cultural Center Theatre on Saturday\, June 24th\, 2023\, at 2 PM with a post-matinee discussion\, and at 7PM. The one-woman show will tour to Barons Court Theatre in London\, UK on July 4th through July 8th\, 2023. \nThe original Spanish version LA TERAPEUTA won Best Peruvian Play at the 2019 Premio Luces Awards. The new English translation\, now published by Inti Press\, evolved as part of an ongoing international development process with the Out of the Wings Festival\, a group based at King’s College that showcases plays in translation via year-round table reads\, discussions\, and theatre events. \nThe Asylum’s Artistic Director\, Sarah O’Connell\, will direct and produce the production in collaboration with Barons Court Theatre\, a fellow member of the World of\nEnglish Speaking Theatres (WEST) association founded in partnership with ProEnglish Theatre of Ukraine. \n“We are honored\, once again\, to bring local\, Las Vegas arts to the world stage through our collaborations with the Out of the Wings Festival and Barons Court Theatre in the UK. This work explores the resilience it takes to be free and heal from the trauma of brutality. The Asylum dedicates this production to the ProEnglish Theatre of Ukraine and fellow members of WEST currently enduring devastating acts of authoritarian violence around the world.” – Sarah O’Connell\, Artistic Director \nOut of the Wings (OOTW) was established in 2008 as a UK Arts and Humanities Research Council-funded research project. OOTW is dedicated to exploring\, translating and sharing with English-speaking audiences the wealth of Hispanic and Lusophone playwriting across history. Co-founder Catherine Boyle will join The Asylum’s audience via zoom for a talkback following the Saturday\, June 24th matinee performance. \nThe Asylum Theatre exists to connect audiences to new work and artists to each other. Founded in 1997\, it is a global gateway in Las Vegas\, Nevada for contemporary voices championing creative collaboration\, cultural exchange\, translation\, and new work development; funded by the Nevada Arts Council and NEA.

SUMMARY:Luminous Flux: When Light is Scene - solo exhibition by Dan Brady - Core Contemporary
DESCRIPTION:Core Contemporary is proud to present “Luminous Flux: When Light is Scene\,” a solo exhibition by Las Vegas artist\, Dan Brady @void._.space The exhibition explores Brady’s visual storytelling through monotone paintings\, whose contents are unseen until lit from behind. The exhibition is on view through July 21\, 2023. \nAn innovative mixed-media artist\, Brady has created white painted canvases that hide their imagery until “triggered” in some way by the viewer. These paintings explore the notion that artwork does not exist without a viewer. Placed in a gallery setting\, the work appears\, at first glance\, to be calm\, meditative abstracts\, textured paintings; however\, as the viewers interact with the work\, they reveal powerful imagery\, surreal worlds\, and even comedic critiques on modern culture. \nGallery is open Tuesday-Friday\, 12-6pm\, and by appointment.  \nBrady will also present an in-person artist’s talk during the closing reception on July 21\, 2023\, 6-9pm.
