SUMMARY:A Lunchtime Conversation: Alexandra Antoine & Celeste De Luna
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this virtual event with artists Celeste De Luna (2019 Resident Artist) and Alexandra Antoine (2020 Ten x Ten)\, whose prints are up now in our current exhibition With Renewed Urgency. Celeste and Alexandra will each give a short talk about their practice\, followed by a conversation with each other\, the audience\, and the printmakers they worked with at Spudnik Press. \nTuesday\, September 22\n12pm – 1pm (CST)\nZoom Meeting ID: 956 0089 4990 \nAlexandra Antoine is a Chicago-based artist who also works with Free Write Arts & Literacy as a teaching artist throughout the city. Her work is multidisciplinary in nature but connected through the themes of language\, line\, color and portraiture. She references her Haitian-American cultural upbringing and memories of travel\, community\, and storytelling. Woven throughout her work are the underlying influences of non-verbal languages such as symbols on cloth\, scarification on bodies\, and colors with significant spiritual and cultural meanings. These elements play a role in the translation of her experiences of visual and methodical research of place\, people and culture. Alexandra came to Spudnik Press as part of the Ten x Ten project which pairs visual artists with composers to create original\, collaborative works. \nCeleste De Luna is a printmaker from the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. She is “a true daughter of the border lands” according to Inez Hernandes-Avila and a self-described Nepantlera\, from the Nahuatl word meaning in-between space. De Luna has been a front-row witness to the militarization of the U.S. Mexico border\, and has an intimate connection to the issues of immigration and decolonization she engages with as an artist and activist. For De Luna\, printmaking is a tool for desconstructing oppressive paradigms in her physical\, spiritual\, and psychic environment; through this medium she creates new landscapes and iconographies about women\, children\, and families at the border\, and the spiritual struggle of conflicting identities and “survivor’s guilt” they experience during migration. Celeste was a 2019 Resident Artist at Spudnik Press. \nImage:\nLeft: Celeste De Luna\, Out of Flight\, Fight\, screenprint on fabric\, 2019 (detail)\nRight: Alexandra Antoine\, Nkrabea: A Coming Together\, screenprint\, 2019 (detail)

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Lines & Circles\, Holes & Portals
DESCRIPTION:Guest Artist: Lucia Calderon Arrieta\n\nWhat does it mean to draw into the page?\nIf you could turn a picture plane filled with holes and circles into a world of portals\, where might they lead you?\n\nLucia Calderon Arrieta will show us how to use line\, shape\, and value to create interconnected forms that are mysterious and mesmerizing\, casting an illusion of depth and inviting us into many different layers of space. During quarantine\, many of us have experienced moments of retreat\, or turning inwards. Lucia will show us how she uses this drawing practice to embrace those feelings\, and dig into the picture plane rather than trying to expand off of it. \nNo drawing experience is needed for this meditative and abstracted project. We will use very easy drawing techniques to create our own complex and individual worlds of holes and portals within the seemingly flat surface of our paper\, with an option to write short creative responses about where these lead\, what creatures might occupy them\, and what powers they might possess. \nZoom Meeting ID: 955 6811 8789\nSuggested Materials\n\nAny kind of paper\nDrawing tools with a very sharp point (fine pens\, pencils)\n\nOptional Materials:\n\nCutting tools for your paper\nMylar and paint pens for a multi-layered drawing\nTablet for digital drawings\n\n\nDrink & Draw [Virtual] is a low-key drop-in social workshop devoted to staying creative from home. There are no pretensions and newcomers are always welcome\, so invite your friends to join! Each Drink & Draw [Virtual] features a new guest artist and a new theme or project that uses pencil\, paper\, and everyday household supplies. Don’t have a sketchbook? Hosts will help you improvise. Find us on Zoom\, a free app for your phone or computer. And of course: BYOB!  \nLove the experience? Pitch in to our Venmo Tip Jar (@spudnikpress) to directly support the featured artist and Spudnik Press Cooperative.
