SUMMARY:Exhibition: Conversations: Artworks in Dialogue — Opens
DESCRIPTION:Dimitri Dimizas\, Hold It Together\, 2014\, steel and concrete.\nThe Art and Design Gallery is temporarily closed.  \nMarch 17–April 7\, 2020 \nThis exhibition calls attention to each artist’s distinct visual voice\, while simultaneously inviting them to engage with one another in a curated discourse. Conversations: Artworks in Dialogue brings together a group of 23 artists whose works are both visually and conceptually diverse\, but when the works are meticulously and intentionally placed in relation to each other and in conjunction with the architectural space\, it creates a new relationship that demands engagement and conversation. The objective is to enable each voice to be heard in the context of the exchange as a whole. \nThe Art and Design Gallery at FIT showcases the work of students\, faculty\, and distinguished alumni as well as guest artists in every exhibition. This exhibition is curated by FIT alumnus Lobsang Tsewang\, Fine Arts ’17.  The participant artists are: \nFIT students: Camelia Giannouklas\, Ellen Marszalkowski\, Daniel Elias Pascual\, Sienna Prater\, Matthew Stewart\, John Xavier \nFIT alumni: Dimitri Dimizas\, Carly Fitzsimons\, Madjeen Isaac\, Kathleen Johnson\, Claire Jones\, Olivia Reckert\, Briget Villanueva \nFIT faculty/staff: N’Ketiah Brakohiapa\, Pansum Cheng\, Bill Pangburn\, Melanie Reim\, Jeff Way \nGuest artists: Meny Beriro\, Jay Feigelis\, Amanda Guest\, Brece Honeycutt\, Molly Ann Walker \nThis exhibition is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED: Queer History Month Film Screening: Rafiki
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED \nRafiki (Swahili for “friend”) is a 2018 Kenyan drama film directed by Wanuri Kahiu. Rafiki is the story of romance that grows between two young women\, Kena and Ziki\, amidst family and political pressures around LGBT rights in Kenya. Kena and Ziki live very different lives in Nairobi. Kena works in her father’s shop and awaits the start of nursing school\, while Ziki passes the days hanging out with her friends and making up dance routines. Their paths cross when their fathers run against each other for seats in the County Assembly\, and they find themselves drawn to each other. Soon their interest grows to affection and the girls find ways to love each other despite the ever-watching gaze of the neighborhood. \nThis screening is brought to you by the FIT Film and Media department\, the FIT Film Club\, and the FIT LGBTQ Alliance. The screening will also provide an opportunity for networking with members of the Uptown Queer Collective\, a local group dedicated to create a safe space for folx\, femmes\, and butches of all genders. They strive to create safe spaces for specific subcultures of the queer community in addition to space for the intersection of such communities and ask that each specific space is respected. \nThis event is free and open to the public.
