SUMMARY:Performance:Pieta Brown & The Taken
DESCRIPTION:“Her artistry combines folk\, country and dusky swamp in a graceful\, supple and elegant genre of their own.\" –American Songwriter\n\nHailed as a “self-styled poetess\, folk goddess\, and country waif” by the BBC\, Pieta Brown first came to international prominence with the release of her self-titled debut in 2002. Since then she has released multiple highly critically acclaimed albums\, EPs and singles\, with much attention being paid not only to her distinct sound and style\, but also the power of her singing and songwriting.\n\nAlthough the Alabama-bred\, Iowa-based Brown’s quietly riveting tunes and gritty\, charismatic performing style resist easy categorization\, they’ve helped her to win a fiercely loyal international fan base that extends to many of her fellow artists.\n\n“When Pieta sings you’re aware of something effortless and natural\, like rain on earth\,” Mark Knopfler observed\, while Don Was called her “a great singer-songwriter who possesses major star-power magnetism\,” and Iris DeMent described her as “the best poet I’ve heard in a long damn time.”\n\nBon Iver frontman Justin Vernon says Paradise Outlaw is “probably my favorite record ever made at our studio.”\n\nPieta has toured extensively since her first release\, and has performed at festivals in the US\, Canada and around the world\, including Bonnaroo\, Mountain Jam\, Calgary Folk Fest\, Edmonton Folk Music Festival\, Portfairy Folk Festival\, Celtic Connections\, and more. Pieta’s songs and music have been heard in various TV Shows and indie films\, and her albums Paradise Outlaw and Mercury both reached #1 on various radio charts. Pieta has also made guest appearances on National Public Radio shows including World Cafe\, KCRW\, Mountain Stage\, E-Town\, Folk Alley\, and Weekend Edition.\n\n“In her hands the blues hover with cloudy foreboding and old-time songs become billowy dances.” ~ Chicago Reader

SUMMARY:Exhibition:'Redefining the Crown' Art Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:\"Artist’s statement: For centuries\, hair has been critical to how human beings understand racial categories\, gender designations\, and class status. For Black women in particular\, hair has and continues to be tied to ethnic identity and a history of self-determination\, social justice\, and survival. Thus\, chemotherapy-induced hair loss is a devastating event for Black patients who are also more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer subtypes necessitating chemotherapy\, carrying a 40% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.\n\nRedefining the ‘crown’: Approaching chemotherapy-induced alopecia among Black patients with breast cancer” started as a manuscript published in the scientific journal Cancer. But the work could not stop there. “Redefining the Crown” then metamorphosed into a photo essay project aimed at exploring the breast cancer journeys of six Black women and their experiences with hair loss due to chemotherapy. Though the project centers the experience of Black women\, we also acknowledge that breast cancer and chemotherapy-induced alopecia impact individuals of all genders. While the goal is to illuminate the unique stories of Black women who are affected uncommonly by this common disease\, the project is also a call to action regarding the disproportionate breast cancer-related mortality facing Black communities.\n\nIn this portraiture series\, photographer Tafari Stevenson-Howard captures the intimate journeys of Ann Chatman\, Tanisha Kennedy\, Felecia McDaniel\, Shantell Elaine McCoy\, Tamara Lynn Myles\, and Veleria Banks. This exhibition examines how these women have navigated the profound impact of hair loss caused by chemotherapy and how their sense of cultural pride and personal identity have been redefined amidst their battles with breast cancer.\n\nThese survivors have redefined their own crowns. More profound than the new hairstyles they don after hair loss are the invisible crowns that they choose to wear each day: gratitude\, faith\, and resilience. What do their words mean to you? Do they empower you to act?\n\nArtist’s name: Versha Pleasant\nWork Title: Image 2\nDate of creation: September 2024\nArtist’s statement: Photo by Tafari Stevenson-Howard\"
