In the Heart of America

March 6 – 17 | Floyd and Delores Jones Playhouse

In the shadow of the Gulf War, a young Palestinian woman’s quest to learn what happened to her Marine brother, Remzi,leads her to a Kentuckian Marine named Craver. Through a poetic web of time leaps and apparitions, we see the two soldiers fall in love against the backdrop of war. Woven into that story, the ghost of a Vietnamese mother,Lu Ming, seeks justice for her infant daughter, a victim of the 1968 massacre at My Lai. Obie Award-winning Playwright Naomi Wallace, known for her signature blend of politics, eroticism, and lyricism, here masterfully rings the gong of histories that still reverberate through our national body.

$10 for 91̽students |

Cancelled due to weather: Tanya Tagaq

Due to this event being cancelled, ticket holders may contact the Arts 91̽Ticket Office for exchange and refund options once normal operations resume.

February 8, 8:00 pm | Katharyn Alvord Gerlich Theater

Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq employs exquisite, unnerving vocal improvisations that bridge traditional roots with contemporary culture. Her music is like nothing you’ve heard before: a contortion of punk, metal and electronica into a complex and contemporary sound. A tour-de-force vocalist, she has been named to the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest honors.

One of today’s most electric, transfixing performers in any genre.
— Rolling Stone

Martha Friedman: Castoffs [installation view, Henry Art Gallery, 91̽, Seattle, 2010]. Photo: Mark Woods.

Last chance to see Martha Friedman: Castoffs
Closes February 10 | Henry Art Gallery

The ancient two-finger amulet, made of dark stone like obsidian or hematite, was placed in ancient Egyptian coffins, presumably to protect the corpse within. Brooklyn artist Martha Friedman, a master of uneasy forms, places glass-blown versions of these talismans alongside distorted, blobby approximations of the male body. She derived these sculptures from casts of the body of Silas Riener, a dancer and choreographer, before embellishing and altering them with rubber tubing and sheeting and metal spikes. The combination of the fingers and the altered, impaled fragments, enthroned on unadorned pedestals, stimulates an icky, quasi-sexual discomfort and fascination. Friedman’s dissection of the male body might be taken as an inversion of—or revenge for—the age-old male gaze, in which the torso is not only objectified but dismembered.

Fefu and Her Friends

November 28 to December 9 | Meany Studio Theater

Professor Valerie Curtis-Newton directs an all-female cast in María Irene Fornés’ most celebrated, realistic and feminist works, Fefu and Her Friends. Fefu turns the “ladies who lunch” trope on its head, bringing together an extraordinary—and regular—group of women who, over the course of a weekend in the country, peel away at each other’s layers, uncovering both the horrors and felicities of contemporary womanhood. Fornés said that Fefu’s realism evolved from the fact that she could feel the characters standing around her, that “one can feel the characters breathe.”

Fornés, who passed away October 31st at the age of 88, has been called “the most important American playwright you’ve never heard of,” and “influential beyond measure.” She is considered by many to be the mother of U.S. Latinx Theatre. This year marks a national celebration of her work, Celebrando Fornés/Celebrating Fornés.

Clotilde Jiménez: Apple of My Eye

Clotilde Jiménez: Apple of My EyeOpening Reception, November 29, 5:00 to 8:00 pm / Exhibition on display through December 29 | Jacob Lawrence Gallery

This exhibition shares work by UK-based artist Clotilde Jiménez. It features Jiménez’s recent collages and charcoal drawings that use fruit, a traditional symbol alluding to sexuality in Western art history, to explore the constraints of sexual identity in Western culture. Using everyday and texturally rich materials such as wallpaper, images cut from magazines, and plastic bags, the collages bring pointed humor and formal rigor to the representation of the Black, queer, masculine body.

As an artist, Jiménez was inspired by Jacob Lawrence’s use of form and color to tell stories, “Jacob Lawrence was one of the few artists who showed me that it was not only possible to depict my life as a Black person in my own way but that it was also important and needed. Jacob Lawrence’s forms and color palette gave me the courage to look to my own Black American Puerto Rican roots to channel some of that essence into my work while also candidly telling my own story in the time that I live.”

Colloquia Series | The Madonna del Baraccano: Restoring a Miraculous Image in Renaissance Bologna

Gloria de Liberali, a PhD candidate in Art History, will talk about the miraculous image of the Madonna del Baraccano, a thirteenth-century fresco depicting the Virgin and Child Christ painted inside one of the bastions of the south wall that used to protect the city of Bologna, and the restored image that we know today by Francesco del Cossa in 1472, and will re-examine the material transformations and will ask what it meant for an artist to intervene on a miracle working image, and how – if at all – its authority and efficacy were affected by physical alterations and stylistic updating.

Donna Haraway: Storytelling for Earthly Survival

November 29 to December 2 | Henry Art Gallery

On the occasion of the exhibition , the Henry and the Northwest Film Forum have partnered to present this film.

For almost fifty years, Donna Haraway — scholar, professor, writer — has been merrily challenging the colonialist and patriarchal underpinnings of orthodox assumptions in gender, science, and trans-species thought. Taking inspiration from feminism, science fiction, environmentalism, and Marxism, in works such as “A Cyborg Manifesto” and Primate Visions, she proposes nothing less than new ways of understanding the world and creating the future.

Director Fabrizio Terranova has fashioned an ideal presentation of Haraway’s history and philosophy. He films her in long takes and spacious frames, granting the audience a full, unfettered perspective on her freewheeling, gesticulating pedagogy. And yet Terranova is too crafty a filmmaker to have made a standard documentary. Throughout, deliberately low-tech green screen and computer graphics effects festoon the screen, subtly manifesting as well as buttressing Haraway’s ideas. His mischievous intelligence is a counterpart to hers, and the result is a film as playfully provocative as Haraway herself.
