SUMMARY:Art@Home: DOTwork with New Orleans duo MILAGROS
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with Project ART \nUsing as inspiration the bestselling picture book The Dot by  Peter Reynolds\, Felici Asteinza of New Orleans mural painting duo MILAGROS shows you how to make an entire piece of art  starting just ONE DOT!  All you need is a piece of paper and a marker! \nCo-founders Felici Asteinza and Joey Fillastre\, along with their ever-changing cast of collaborators\, create site-specific works that explore the history of place through striking arrangements of color and mark. With an exuberant style that champions the hand-made and the intuitive\, MILAGROS energizes public spaces with effervescent patterns that obliterate the seams between structures and highlight the unique attributes of the surrounding architecture. MILAGROS has completed a large-scale mural on the exterior of the New Orleans Public Library main library and looks forward to teaching and mentoring the city’s youth there. Working to reinforce individual strength through collaboration\, MILAGROS operates according to the belief that mutual respect and trust allow for a free environment of evolving creation. The spirit of playful spontaneity MILAGROS brings to its work results in community-based projects that radiate human dignity. \nMILAGROS recently won an initiative from Ashe Cultural Center to embark on a project with the Latinx Exchange to bring Latin American artists to New Orleans and integrate the Latinx community within New Orleans’ arts and culture sector. \nhttps://shop.booksandbooks.com/book/9780763619619 \nhttps://www.projectart.org/miami

DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Julio Capó Jr.\, FIU associate professor of history and deputy director of The Wolfsonian Public Humanities Lab. \nPresented in English. \nIn the Caribbean\, LGBTQ individuals live in fear of being ostracized at a minimum and physically assaulted – or even murdered – at worst.

Shani Mootoo’s Polar Vortex is a seductive and tension-filled novel about Priya and Alex\, a lesbian couple  who attempt to escape the secrets of their pasts. Stonewall and Lambda Award-winning author Kacen Callender’s King of the Rising is the searing conclusion to an unflinching and powerful Caribbean-inspired fantasy series about colonialism\, resilience and defiance. \nSponsored by \n \nand in partnership with

SUMMARY:In Conversation: On Confronting Prejudice\, Racism\, and Bigotry
DESCRIPTION:When Özlem Cekic became the first Muslim MP in the Danish Parliament\, her email inbox was hit with a deluge of hate mail and threats\, and her gut reaction was to delete every abusive message.

And with time\, understanding\, and patience\, she began to make a difference\, both in the lives of those who hated her before even meeting her\, and in her own life. She’s chronicled that experience – and what she’s learned from it – in Overcoming Hate Through Dialogue: Confronting Prejudice\, Racism\, and Bigotry with Understanding – And Coffee. Eric Martin\, author of Your Leadership Moment: Democratizing Leadership in the Age of Authoritarianism\, joins her to talk about it; coffee is optional.
