SUMMARY:Drop-In Printmaking Workshop with Raj Bunnag
DESCRIPTION:Drop-In Printmaking Workshop with Raj Bunnag \n6-7:30 p.m.  \n \nJoin Raj Bunnag\, 2022 MFA candidate whose work is featured in Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022\, for a special hands-on printmaking workshop during the 2nd Friday ArtWalk!  \n  \nIn this drop-in workshop\, visitors will be able to make their own tiny stamps using hand-carved blocks made by Bunnag.

This workshop will take place outdoors and attendees are welcome to stay for as long as they like during the hour and a half-long program.   \n \nMaterials for this event have been generously donated by Speedball. Presented in connection with Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022.

He received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012 with an emphasis in Printmaking. He is currently an MFA candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Bunnag’s practice examines systematic racism inherent to the foundations of the US\, its institutions\, and its domestic/global policies\, through themes in the lineage of print. In his more personal work\, he is researching the ideas and baggage that come with self-identity as the son of immigrants and what it means to be a non-white body existing in white spaces. He has shown work nationally and internationally as well as received numerous awards for his relief printed work.

SUMMARY:Artist-Led Tour of “Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022”
DESCRIPTION:Join the 2022 Master of Fine Arts students for a special walk-through! This tour will be led by all five MFA candidates and introduced by exhibition curator Laura Ritchie. \nThrough the work of five artists\, Myth & Memory imagines a future in which the margins become the center. Drawing from personal narrative\, each of the artists engages a vocabulary of fantasy to make visible the stories that have been forgotten\, obscured\, or erased by white heteropatriarchal modes of dominance. Their work interrogates practices of history-making and history-keeping at the individual\, institutional\, and systemic level. Intimate gestures and acts of subversion reframe the lens through which memory is archived and myth is defined. As a result\, new stories emerge from a restructured past. \nPresented in connection with Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022. This program is sponsored by the Orange County Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Animation Workshop with Stella Rosalie Rosen
DESCRIPTION:Join Stella Rosalie Rosen\, 2022 MFA candidate whose work is featured in Myth & Memory\, for a special hands-on workshop on Index Card Animation! \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn the basics of 2D frame animation on paper using pencils and index cards. After a short lecture\, a demonstration\, and a few screenings of animated works drawn on paper\, participants will be encouraged to experiment with animations of their own on index cards following a theme generated by the group. The group’s work will be photographed and compiled into a short film at the end of class. At the end of this workshop\, participants will have learned how drawing frame-by-frame creates motion and movement in animation. Participants will even gain the tools to create their own animated works at home! \nSpace is extremely limited and a free ticket is required (register below). This workshop is for ages 13+. \nPresented in connection with Myth & Memory: Selected Works by the MFA Class of 2022. This exhibition and its related programs are made possible by the generous support of Maryanna & Will Johnson and The Seymour & Carol Levin Foundation. \n— \nStella Rosalie Rosen is an experimental animator and has been honing her skills since 2017. She works with a variety of other techniques\, including clay animation\, puppetry\, replacement animation\, and live-action video\, but finds her home in plain old graphite on paper. Rosen’s work uses narrative animation to illuminate stories that draw from her own experience living in an austere and industrialized world where oppressive hierarchies cause the abjection of certain bodies and the destruction of the natural world. Rosen finds inspiration in plants\, animals\, overheard conversations\, childhood obsessions\, and things she finds on the ground. She has had her films shown at festivals all over the world\, including Bushwick Film Festival\, Brooklyn Women’s Film Festival\, Oakland Short Film Festival\, Cosmic Rays\, and Florida Animation Festival. Rosen earned her undergraduate degree in biology\, and carries a fascination with the natural world into all of her work. Rosen studied animation at Vancouver Film School and California Institute of the Arts. She was raised in New York City and is now based out of Durham\, NC. \nVisit Stella’s website.

SUMMARY:Collectors' Seminar: Building an Art Collection
DESCRIPTION:This program has been rescheduled from January 28th. Please join us on March 24th!\n \n— \nWith Drs. John and Nicole Dintenfass\, Moderated by Peter Nisbet \nJoin us for an intimate conversation with Drs. John and Nicole Dintenfass about their lifelong passion for collecting art\, the latest in a series of talks with collectors whose works have been on view at the Ackland. The Dintenfasses have collected art for an astonishing fifty-three years\, beginning with John’s medical residency in West Africa and continuing for several decades as the French and American couple traveled throughout the U.S. and Europe. Their varied collection is comprised of African metalwork — some of which can now be seen at the Ackland in our exhibition Peace\, Power & Prestige: Metal Arts in Africa — but also extends to wooden miniatures\, Chinese art\, and American paintings and coins. The Dintenfasses\, together in conversation with Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs Peter Nisbet\, will discuss selected works from their African collection currently on view at the Museum\, talk about how they have built and refined their collection\, and share their thoughts on the psychology of collecting art\, the subject of a book they are currently writing. \nSpace is extremely limited at this in-person program and registration is required. Please reserve your free tickets below. \nIf you find yourself unable to attend\, please email acklandrsvp@unc.edu\, so that we may offer the space to others. \nThe Ackland Art Museum is operating under the guidelines of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. As of March 7\, 2022\, masks are optional in our galleries.

SUMMARY:Radical Healing and Decoloniality: Museums in Transition
DESCRIPTION:This talk by Amanda Maples\, Curator of African Art at the NC Museum of Art\, is part of UNC Chapel Hill’s African Studies Center’s Decolonizing African Studies Series.  \nWith the advent of global protests urgently calling for social justice and the end of systemic racism\, museums have been called upon to reflect on their own institutional histories and grapple with the role they have played in perpetuating stereotypes and inequities—both in gallery and collections representation\, and within their administration. A critical aspect of this relatively recent pursuit to decolonize includes facing the violence at play in colonial and imperial histories\, and making efforts towards reparations more broadly. Such momentum has catapulted museums into a period of transition and their responsibilities are fundamentally changing towards creating space for radical healing. \nRegister here for this free virtual talk! \nOrganized by the African Studies Center\, College of Arts and Sciences\, UNC-Chapel Hill.
