Join us for a conversation as part of the series Art + Activism, moderated by Bakehouse Executive Director, Cathy Leff and featuring Nadege Green, Director of Community Research and Storytelling at the Community Justice Project (CJP) and Chire Regans (VantaBlack), visual artist, activist, and current Artist-in-Residence at CJP.

The conversation will center around the intersection between art and social justice and how art can be used in the function of community building, amplifying diverse voices, and addressing social issues. Nadege will discuss the role that Community Justice Project plays in educating audiences about the structural inequalities faced by marginalized communities throughout Miami and how artists, like VantaBlack, can be an effective tool in advocating for and amplifying the voices of these communities.

This conversation marks the beginning of a partnership between Bakehouse and CJP, in which Bakehouse will provide ongoing studio space for CJP’s artist residency program and continue working with and learning from CJP, as we aim to deepen our connections to the issues and needs of our neighborhood

About the speakers:

Nadege Green is Director of Community Research and Storytelling at the Community Justice Project. She worked as a journalist in Miami for over ten years investigating how local government policies and actions impact everyday people. Her work centers around using analysis, data and narratives from the directly impacted to address housing inequities, climate justice, and other pressing issues in Miami-Dade County that disproportionately impact black and brown communities. Green believes in the power of teaching community storytelling as a means to educate, problem-solve and heal. She is a frequent lecturer and speaker in academic and community settings around disparities in Miami-Dade, local history and race. Green is a recipient of the Ruth Shack Leadership Award and the Florida ACLU Gene Miller Voice of Freedom Award.

Chire Regans, aka VantaBlack, a proud mother, visual artist, truth-teller, and community advocate, was born in Saint Louis, Missouri and relocated to Miami in the late 1980s. After graduating from Florida A&M University, Chire’s artistic practice focused primarily on portraiture. As societal issues began to weigh heavily on her conscience, the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement pushed Chire's art in the direction of social awareness and change. Chire serves on the Community Relations Board's Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement Committee, works as a Teaching Artist at the Perez Art Museum Miami, and is the Fall 2020 Artist-in-Residence with the Community Justice Project.

Show Notes
1) You can use business for social good.
2) Understand all the stakeholders involved in a system before you try to address a problem in the system. Each stakeholder will have a different need and you need to understand how to best meet these specific needs.
3) Creating impact is an iterative process involving conversations with multiple stakeholders involved in the problem being addressed.
4) Reflect and think about the different forms of capital you are in the process of creating as an organisation which include social capital, financial capital, intellectual capital, material capital, spiritual capital and cultural capital.
5) Use the power of extended networks to solve problems at a local level. A problem addressed in one part of India may be addressed in a different way in another part of India. It is the same when problems are addressed in different countries. You can learn a lot from observing people and organisations that solve the same problems in another context or part of the world.

CESESA (Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation South Africa) presents a clip featuring Taina Bien-Aimé from Coalition Against Trafficking in Women, addressing the questions: What is Sexual Exploitation? Who has the power? What is consent?

"How do you raise awareness and still pay off investors? And how do you motivate your audience to action? These are the challenges of activists and documentary filmmakers Michealene C. Risley and Anand Chandrasekaran, and they talk about viral innovations in fundraising in the field, like IndyGoGo.com, and the appeal of offering fundraising architecture that's both non-profit and for-profit."

Are we in the thick of the new climate war, as climate scientist Michael Mann suggests in his latest book? Or are we in a place where science and politics are getting too closely mixed together? Or maybe even both? Let’s have a look.

Unknown to many, Bayard Rustin was the heart and soul of the civil rights movement in the United States. As Martin Luther King Jr.’s chief organizer, he helped translate the philosophy of nonviolence into direct action by organizing the 1963 March on Washington. So why isn’t he more famous? Bayard’s commitment to speaking truth to power was matched by his commitment to living out his own truth as an openly gay man. But being his authentic self in an era of widespread, open homophobia often kept Bayard away from the spotlight. From the home they once shared in New York City, his longtime partner Walter Naegle reflects on the life, love and legacy of an American hero.

Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) is an animal liberation group that is notorious for its large-scale actions which sometimes involve illegal tactics such as civil disobedience and trespassing.

DxE sees their actions as essential to forwarding their cause of exposing injustices in the Animal Agriculture System. However, some of DxE’s opponents, especially those who have been directly targeted by DxE, have labeled them as actual terrorists after their aggressive occupations and protests.

VICE documents as DxE embark on their largest actions to date: occupying an egg farm in Petaluma, CA and removing chickens from the property. VICE also speaks with the co-owner of the egg farm who claims that DxE’s actions are not only illegal, but detrimental to the possibility of a constructive dialogue between Animal Rights Activists and members of the Animal Agriculture Industry.
