BLACK VELVET: Architectures and Archetypes

Wednesday March 28 at 8pm
Thursday March 29 at 8pm
$20
Atlanta
Tanz Farm showcases BLACK VELVET, an international art piece that aims to share and reflect on the colorfulness of blackness-especially in regards to black women- in a relationship of love, compassion and camaraderie. In the work, creators and performers Shamel Pitts and Mirelle Martins research and share the sensibility of ideals, models, and textures as a projection of self.
glo will organize public interaction around BLACK VELVET-open studio, free movement shops and community conversations, and four performance installations- as centered spaces for process, healing and fantastical activation. The stakes are high, every move complex.
Tanz Farm is made possible in part by a Matching Grant from Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs, and special individuals like you.
Tanz Farm launched in 2012, in collaboration with the Goat Farm Arts Center. The mission of the contemporary anthology is anchored in the agency of risk-taking, and to expand boundaries and support of new language in live art.

glo offers interventions in Downtown Atlanta as part of its new site-based intervention at The Zero Mile Post, the oldest landmark in Atlanta. an arabesque in histories elicits choreography to demonstrate a compelling and nuanced need to use the archival materials on site as a way for systems and actions to be poetic connectors to serve citizens of today.
The title of the project refers to experimental novelist Evelyn Scott’s work,”Migration.” One of a trilogy of works that portrays the intricacy of the South without sentimentality nostalgia or a hint of Southern apology, this publication is considered an important work in sociology and Deep South History. Inspired by Scott’s sociological studies, the intervention will feature a series of response choreographies by conceptual artist and choreographer Lauri Stallings. Like Scott, Stallings is invested in the possibility of getting connected with ourselves, our stories, passions, weaknesses. Stallings has collaborated with numerous sites and communities with complicated histories, and this project has grown organically from that deep work.
