Movement Artists Keyierra Collins and Ambe'r Johnson will teach their choreography from the "Warehouse" Music Video, off Jovan Landry's EP World Vibe! This Afro-Contemporary Medley stems from Sabar, Afro Street, Chicago House, Afro-Footwork, Modern, and Groovin'.
"The inspiration for Warehouse derived from the very same nightclub that birthed Chicago House Music. This music genre was first popularized in the late '70s by DJ Frankie Knuckles, aka The Godfather of Chicago House. Allow the high pass filters and the draggy flangers to lead your body into a hypnotic sweat." -ABJZ.

Order of Appearance for this Friday's Summit:
Julian T. Otis: "Wisdom Abounds" / Medium: Storytelling & Sonic Fusion (Audio) / Lilla Dell (Wilson) Howard was born in 1935 in Jamestown, New York. She is my Great Aunt and the wisest woman in my family. While doing genealogical research we talked about key moments in my family history that connect the dots and fill in the gaps on certain traditions and long-held truths about relationships amongst our clan. Wisdom abounds. My family story is embodied in her oral telling and I hear her wisdom as a myth. What elements transcend time, what elements evoke sonic responses and re-imaginations.
Jovan Landry: Multidisciplinary Who? / Medium: Roundtable Discussion (Audio) / Exploring what it means to be interdisciplinary/multidisciplinary as an artist. Throughout my career, I've been pressured to "choose" one over the other or to focus and master one discipline before moving onto another. I will hold this discussion with 7 other POC multi-interdisciplinary artists around the country with disciplines in music, dance, martial arts, teaching, photography, writing, astrology, and more; as we talk about how they blend their practices, their struggles, how they've been supported, how they navigated art spaces.
Anayansi Ricketts: "Realities" / Medium: Storytelling (Live Streamed) / My song in this strange land comes from stories I have written. Whether they be poetic musings or children's tales, I am drawn to the possibilities of structuring the absurd, making up words, and romping through the cosmos. In stories there is freedom. I like stories. They are human creations that impart knowledge, culture, and self- actualization. Stories make space for; imaginings, truths, tall tales, exploration, innovation, and conversation. A gathering of facts often fictionalized to capture the listener's spirit. Places have their tales, people have their favorite lines and passages. Formats vary and subject matter can leave one questioning. Stories broadening “realities” and the ebb and flow of what might be. Let's begin with the beginning and a record of humanity.
The Arts Advisory Council celebrates the importance of Experimental Station as a place to exchange knowledge and know-how. Whether attending, producing, launching, or curating an arts event or program, Experimental Station provides space and place to share independent artistic and creative expressions. We are excited to serve as arts advocates and cultural stewards of this instrumental resource on Chicago’s South Side.
The Arts Advisory Council will primarily function to promote and produce quality arts programming at Experimental Station. The Council will engage Woodlawn residents and the community of Black artists and creatives throughout Chicago in producing quality exhibits, performances, and arts programming.
The ultimate goal of the Arts Advisory Council is to continue to cultivate and sustain space for artists and community members to access and share in creative and artistic experiences at Experimental Station.
