Flight is a multi-media installation by Albuquerque artist sheri crider that examines connections between empathy, personal transformation, mass incarceration, and migration. Using her own story as well as the stories of incarcerated migrants as a point of departure, this exhibition is centered on understanding the personal experiences and social implications of mass incarceration. The migratory birds serve as visual metaphor, bringing focused attention to the imprisonment of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees. Flight represents the culmination of a year and a half of research, artistic collaborations, and creative interventions into social injustices. This project combines education, community partnerships, visual art, and fundraising to expand the practical capacity of art-making into forms of discourse, civic engagement, and empathy building. The exhibit is deeply personal and intentionally socially engaged.

We begin in the dreams of a town, just before dawn. Winding through its streets, we continue, visiting its sleeping denizens one by one in the darkness before the sunrise. As the cock crows, and the sleepers awaken, we watch the town awaken and go through one day, following each person, and the town itself, until the sun sets again, and they go off to another night.

Originally commissioned by the BBC as a radio drama (or a “play with voices”) in 1954, Under Milk Wood has survived as one of Dylan Thomas’ most well-known and highly acclaimed works. It has had many high profile theatrical stagings, as well as having been made into a film in 1974 starring Elizabeth Taylor, Peter O Toole, Glynis Johns, Vivien Merchant, and other well-known actors.

Come experience the yearning of young love, the foibles of marriage, the ghosts of drowned sailors, and the games of little children through an evening of live music coupled with this beautiful play by the troubled, brilliant Dylan Thomas.

Come to CFA Downtown Studio on Oct. 5th to see and hear coffee rings. Berlin-based Sound Artist, composer & artistic researcher Robert Stokowy will exhibit a selection of monotype prints & perform them musically with Albuquerque’s Alan Zimmerman.
Performance at 7pm
Alan Zimmerman, percussion
Robert Stokowy, speaker & electronics

coffee rings is a series of relief prints by Robert Stokowy. Following a written score, monotypes were made with brewed coffee and mugs. Robert investigated the sonic potential of forms that resulted from this process. The visual artifacts become a silent sonic piece, while they also can be read and interpreted as a visual score for further productions (sound installations, performances in dance & sound). For this performance two scores with sets of four prints for each performer were compiled. Here the circularity of the score is used as a chance to enter [german: eindringen – to get through, to reach, to urge] the form to explore its structure’s characteristics. Performing becomes a practice through which performers & audience alike can experience the print’s visual & sonic inner being – the Ding an sich. The visual is transformed into a sonic entity that offers a new chance for perceiving & understanding.

Too Much, Too Much, Too Many
By Meghan Kennedy
Directed by Monica Villalba

Following the death of her husband, Rose locks herself in her bedroom for the better part of a year, leaving her daughter Emma to care for her through the closed door. When the church sends a pastor to help coax Rose out of her room, he soon finds that Rose is not the only one using barriers to hide her true feelings. Bittersweet, poignant, and touchingly funny, TOO MUCH, TOO MUCH, TOO MANY is a compelling new drama about the walls we build to protect our hearts–and deciding when it’s time to break them down.
