SUMMARY:AMPLIFYING THE MARGINS w/ DAMN GXRL
DESCRIPTION:DAMN GXRL collective members Jessica Fuquay\, Mandy Clinton\, and Megan Easely will present a lecture and workshop exploring the figurative and literal processes of amplification. The three artists will give a brief overview of DAMN GXRL’s origins\, mission\, and ongoing projects\, followed by a performance and interactive demonstration based in Easely’s experimental noise practice. Easely uses water as a conduit for experimental sound meditation and will create both acoustic and digital percussive sounds that Fuquay and Clinton will amplify for a live audience. Through this interactive demonstration\, participants of all artistic and musical backgrounds will gain insight into the techniques and tools used for creative expression through sound. \nJessica Fuquay is an artist\, musician\, and co-founding member of the collective DAMN GXRL. Her art practice and collaborative projects attempt to confront power by centering marginalized voices and locating opportunities for creative subversion. \nMandy Kim Clinton is a Houston-based musician\, producer\, and activist. She has fronted such acts as Pearl Crush and The Lories\, as well as played lead guitar in Clare and Rose Ette. She is an advocate for women and other marginalized groups in the local music community and has volunteered as a band coach and guitar instructor with Girls Rock Camp Houston. She is also a founding member and organizer of DAMN GXRL\, Houston’s feminist booking collective. \nNative Houstonian Megan Easely unites her eternal love of music and the natural world into one creative practice. Using water as an instrument\, she seeks to give water a “voice” and hopes that those who listen will take away a deeper appreciation for our water and all life forms that surround us. Easely is currently a core member of DAMN GXRL. \n[in between space]\nAMPLIFYING THE MARGINS is presented as part of [in between space]\, an afternoon of participatory workshops and discussions in the DiverseWorks gallery that each explore how the creative process can be a form of personal expression and healing. The artist collectives leading these sessions were invited because of their emphasis on supporting and nurturing one another through their processes of creative growth. Workshop participants will be provided with the tools and space to tell their own stories through artistic expression. \nAll ages and levels of artistic experience (or non-experience!) are welcome. [in between space] is free of charge\, and participants may choose to select individual sessions or attend the entire afternoon. \nSCHEDULE \n1 – 2 pm\nImpulse with Celestina Billington & Brittani Broussard \n2:30 – 3:45 pm\nAMPLIFYING THE MARGINS with DAMN GXRL \n4 – 6 pm\ns h a d e s o f m a t t e r with htxpeopleproject
