Despite an imbalance in power and systemic and structural barriers, the arts have kept our communities thriving. But as artists and cultural producers are displaced by high rents and gentrification, what does this mean for our ever-evolving communities? What role does the arts have in helping to dismantle structural inequities and sustain community? How can and how does the arts galvanize the power of the people to affect change? This full day symposium will begin to grapple with these questions while providing participants an opportunity to connect, vision, and build for the next 400 years.\nSCHEDULE\nSCHEDULE\n11:00am – Welcome + Land Acknowledgements\n11:15am – Introductions + Grounding\n11:45am – Keynote by Manuela Arciniegas, Founder of Legacy Women + Director of Andrus Family Fund\n12:15pm – Panel Discussion – Existence and Resistance: Black Women Propelling The Arts + Community Forward\n1:30pm – Networking Lunch\n2:00pm – Community Movement Workshop presented by Milteri Tucker of Bombazo Dance Company\n2:15pm – Panel Discussion – In the Face of Gentrification: Displacement and Its Impact on the Arts\n3:30pm – Film Screening: In The Face of What We Remember \npresented by While We Are Still Here\n3:45pm – Visioning for the Future + Community Art Project\n5:00pm – Networking Happy Hour\nHOW WOCA + NoMAA DEFINE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE\nWe define technical assistance as the transmission of knowledge, experience, and expertise to tackle problems, big and small, within the arts sector and the world. We believe that robust conversations, sharing and learning with peers, and deep, critical conversations begin to give us the tools we need in order to work collaboratively, think proactively, and build our shed of practical instruments to sharpen our intellectual hardware for the future.\nhttp://www.nomaanyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/animation-1.mp4 ( http://www.nomaanyc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/animation-1.mp4 )\nPANEL DISCUSSIONS\nExistence and Resistance: Black Women Propelling The Arts + Community Forward\n400 years of oppression have led to the systemic inequities we see today – from unequal distribution of wealth trickling down to inadequate resources for our cultural institutions to the appropriation of our land and cultural products for economic gain. While these injustices have certainly contributed to the destabilization of communities, building and maintaining creative capital have been key to helping historically disenfranchised communities survive. Black women, in particular, have always been at the center of this movement of (re)stabilizing communities, taking the lead as artists, activists, cultural workers, and organizers. Hear how Black women of the Diaspora are continuing to propel the arts field forward and helping our communities to not only survive, but, to thrive.\nPanelists:\n\nTasha Douge, artist, activist, and cultural producer\nKaren Taylor, founder, While We Are Still Here\nMelody Capote, executive director, Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute\nSarita Covington, co-founder, ACRE (Artists Creating Real Equity)\n\nIn the Face of Gentrification: Displacement and Its Impact on the Arts\nWhile the arts and artists have often been exploited for the sake of gentrification, history has shown us that the arts have been integral in helping to amplify social issues and mobilize communities. So the arts have also been a catalyst and critical component in the struggle against gentrification and, effectively, displacement – its prominent byproduct as experienced by many historically disenfranchised communities. It is clear that gentrification disproportionately affects artists and cultural creators but in what ways has displacement affected the arts sector? And what can artists and cultural institutions do to authentically help empower communities, mitigate the effects of displacement in the face of gentrification, and build for the future?\nPanelists:\n\nNadema Agard, visual artist + Director of RED EARTH STUDIO CONSULTING / PRODUCTIONS\nSita Frederick, artist + director of Community Engagement at Lincoln Center Education\nYin Kong, director, Think Chinatown\nElena Martinez, co-director, Bronx Music Heritage Center\n\n
