Intermedia Arts Announces 
 Fall 2015 Catalyst Series

Featuring new performing, visual, and media arts to
spark dialogue and inspire social change

The Catalyst Series sparks lasting dialogue in provocative and visionary ways through showcasing work by artists whose voices are in motion. Join us for the fall 2015 series of six performances and exhibitions:
  • Hmong-Lao Friendship Play/Lao-Hmong Friendship Play, May Lee-Yang andSaymoukda Duangphouxay Vongsay‘s funny and heartfelt exploration of the connections between Hmong and Lao people;
  • VisibiliT, a photography exhibition exploring contemporary issues in the transgender community, with photography by Shiraz Mukarram, curated by Andrea Jenkins;
  • Freedom Daze, Exposed Brick Theatre ‘s journey through this country’s media maze of (mis)information and fear mongering;
  • Underbelly, a collection of experimental, multidisciplinary works curated by Shá Cagefeaturing Nick Demeris, PaviElle French, and Chitra Vairavan;
  • Ode to Walt Whitman, a tender puppet-poem dialogue between Walt Whitman and Federico Garcia Lorca by Bart Buch;
  • Dimensions of Indigenous: Storytelling, an exhibition of contemporary and traditional work by indigenous artists presented in partnership with Ce Tempoxcalli and Electric Machete Studios.

 

“These incredible artists, with the support of Catalyst Series guest curator Shá Cage, will open dialogue about some of the most pressing issues in our community today,” said Julie Bates MacGillis, Intermedia Arts’ Acting Executive/Artistic Director. “We’ll explore issues in the transgender community, intercultural relationships, anti-Islamic scare tactics, colonization, and more through partnerships with cutting-edge artists, curators and groups including the Tretter Collection, Lazy Hmong Woman Productions, Exposed Brick Theater, Ce Tempoxcalli, and Electric Machete Studios.”

About the Catalyst Series

As a platform for transformative, socially engaged new work, the Catalyst Series sparks lasting dialogue in provocative and visionary ways through showcasing work by artists whose voices are in motion. The series offers a pathway for traditionally underrepresented artists, emerging local changemakers, and projects that ignite innovation. Since its inception, the Catalyst Series has grown into one of Intermedia Arts’ most popular programs, with sold out audiences in the last year.

Intermedia Arts welcomes Shá Cage as the new guest curator of the Catalyst Series. With the organization, she has been a performer, visual arts curator, presenting partner and producer, commissioned artist, facilitator, and member of artistic and community advisory teams. “Shá’s work embodies the Catalyst Series’ mission to spark dialogue and social change with new performing and visual arts,” said Bates MacGillis. “We are thrilled to have her on board in this capacity.”
