SUMMARY:BODY AS ART - PHOTOGRAPHY BY THIERRY LAURENCE
DESCRIPTION:Body As Art opens at Elegba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center on Friday\, November 1 as a part of the 1st Fridays ArtWalk\, 5 – 9p. \nThis series of black and white photographs manipulates light\, dark and water to express an artistic essence of the male body as seen through the eye of Thierry Laurence. In his edgy portraitures\, Laurence shows photography as “extension of my artistic expressions as a actor\, dancer\, singer and writer. When I have a camera in hand\, I want to capture the moments where shadows give way to light and allow us to see.” Through January 31.

SUMMARY:At the Crossroads: Black Males + Race\, Place & Identity
DESCRIPTION:  \nElegba Folklore Society is pleased to be among the eight Richmond\, Virginia-based arts and cultural organizations partnering to facilitate community-wide conversations inspired by their respective exhibitions and programs that focus on civil rights and social justice beginning in January\, 2014. \nElegba Folklore Society is hosting two exhibitions in its Cultural Center that are a part of the collaboration.  The first is Body As Art that runs now through January 31.  In this series of black-and-white photographs\, Thierry Laurence manipulates light\, shadow\, and water to express an artistic essence of the black male body.  An interpretive conversation will accompany this exhibition on King Day\, January 20 at 6p.\n\nAt the Crossroads: Black Males + Race\, Place & Identity\nVCU African American Studies Professor Derrick Lanois\nKing Day\, January 20\, 6p\n\nAttendees can join a conversation surrounding body + place politics of African American men in the 21st century. Using Thierry Laurence’s photography in Body as Art\, the complexities that are facing African American men in today’s society whether social\, cultural\, artistic\, and/or political will be explored. The journey to understand the dynamic and ever changing conditions has to be rooted in history and begin with a discussion of place and identity in Africa prior to enslavement\, and currently\, then spanning the timeline through and forward to a look at place and identity as expressed in hip hop. Do African American men have a place and identity that is honored\, as our cultural DNA and protocols mandate\, valued\, nurtured and understood or do they serve as the poster child of what is wrong today—criminal\, uneducated\, shiftless and to be feared/ignored? Professor Derrick Lanois will facilitate this King Day discussion to help us see what has happened historically to “place” African American men in the current dialogue and how to shift the conversation.\n\nOn February 7\, the Society’s second exhibition in the collaboration\, African Root\, American Fruit: Paintings by Ronald Jackson\, will open with a reception from 5p – 9p during the First Fridays Artwalk.  Ronald Jackson paints portraits and figurative works to comment on the identity of African American people and their influence on the landscape of American society.  He will give a gallery talk.\n \nCulture\, Art and Social Messaging \nArtist\, Ronald Jackson\nFebruary 7\, 6p\n\n\n\n\n\nJackson will give a talk on the significance of art in African American culture and expound on the implication of his artwork and experience.  The evening will also feature a remembrance of the Greensboro\, North Carolina Woolworth lunch counter sit-ins which began on February 1\, 1960. \nDetails: 804.644.3900 or story1@efsinc.org.  Elegba Folklore Society’s Cultural Center is open Tuesday – Friday\, Noon – 6p\, Saturday\, Noon – 4p and by appointment.  Gallery tours are available by reservation.\n\n\n\n\n\nAmong the Yoruba\, Elegba is the Orisa or intercessor who guards the crossroads and who opens the roads\, bringing clarity out of confusion.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe hope our programs and services are\, indeed\, road-opening experiences.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmbrace the Spirit!
