Dovie Thomason StoryTeller Public Performance

Location: Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center, MLK Lounge, 153 W 12th Ave.
FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! -- Parking in Ohio Union Garage or at meters on 11th Street behind Hale Center
For more than fifteen years, Dovie Thomason has shared the time-honored traditions and stories of the Native Americans she represents. The Kiowa Apache and Lakota tales she heard as a young child were 'lessons intended to teach proper behavior without punishment or confrontation,' as the characters faced the same choices in their lives as she did in her own. Passing on these 'blueprints' for establishing values and making choices comes naturally for Dovie as she gently dispels false images of the First Nations People of North America and replaces them with traditional stories to which all cultures can relate.

Gone -- Out@Wex Film
March 4, 2009 (7:00 pm - 9:00 pm)
Location: Wexner Center
Gone: The Box
"Gone is loosely based on an episode of An American Family, a PBS series from the early 1970s that included one of the first openly gay characters on television-and foreshadowed the development and appeal of reality TV. Cecilia Dougherty's project also explores the complexities of family life, queer identity, and community, but inserts contemporary artists and writers (including Amy Sillman and Laurie Weeks) into the narrative. The video includes music by Le Tigre and Mike Iveson and was completed during a residency in the Art & Tech post-production studios in 2001. Dougherty lives and works in New York City and teaches at the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College. (37 mins., video)" (www.wexarts.org)
