SUMMARY:THE SCENT OF MY FATHER
DESCRIPTION:Opal Palmer AdisaAugust\nDiverse and multi-genre\, writer Opal Palmer Adisa (Caribbean) was nurtured on cane-sap and the oceanic breeze of Jamaica. Retired as the Director of the Institute for Gender and Development Studies at the University of West Indies\, Adisa has lectured and read her work throughout the United States\, South Africa\, Ghana\, Nigeria\, Germany\, England and Prague\, and has performed in Italy and Bosnia. An award-winning poet and prose writer Adisa has over sixteen titles to her credit\, including the novel\, It Begins With Tears (1997)\, which Rick Ayers proclaimed as one of the most motivational works for young adults. She has been a resident artist in internationally acclaimed residencies such as El Gounda (Egypt)\, Sacatar Institute (Brazil)\, McColl Center\, (North Carolina) and Headlines Center for the Arts (California\, USA). Opal Palmer Adisa’s work has been reviewed by Ishmael Reed\, Al Young\, and Alice Walker\, who described her work as “solid\, visceral\, important stories written with integrity and love.” \n\n\n\nFor the last 23 years Opal was a distinguished professor at California College of the Arts. She has been a visiting professor at several universities including\, Stanford University\, University of California\, Berkeley and University of the Virgin Islands. Her poetry\, stories\, essays and articles on a wide range of subjects have been collected in over 400 journals\, anthologies and other publications\, including Essence Magazine. She has also conducted workshops in elementary through high school\, museums\, churches and community centers\, as well as in prison and juvenile centers. \n\n\n\nDuring her residency\, Opal worked on a creative nonfiction piece reflecting on her father who passed many years ago. The collection is titled The Scent of My Father and is in three sections: his birth in Cuba; his return to Jamaica and life in Jamaica\, including meeting and marrying her mother; and finally the author explores her relationship with him. Opal led "Writing What Writes You"\, a mixed genre workshop. On August 14th\, 2022 Opal read "The Storytellers Return" on Radio Boise's "The Poetry Show." For her final event at Surel's Place\, Opal read a passage from The Scent of My Father. \n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYP15OtrPBk&t

SUMMARY:OBJECTIONS: A SERIES OF STILL LIVES BY JONATHAN HEWETT
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan HewettSeptember 8th - September 17\, 2022\nOur first Studio AIR of 2022 was Jonathan Hewett\, a 22-year-old artist\, green in his career. He recently graduated from Boise State University with a BFA in Visual Arts with an emphasis in Drawing and Painting. Since Jonathan’s early childhood\, he has always been scribbling\, filming\, or photographing something. Jonathan gains most of his inspiration from the peculiar nature of the human soul. He enjoys exploring the intricacies of metaphysics with painting\, and looks for poetry in all things. In addition to painting\, Jonathan runs Relax Graphix\, a side project where he publishes his more irreverent\, humorous work. \n\n\n\nDuring his residency\, he explored themes pertaining to ontology and rhopography. What’s that? Essentially he is interested in painting everyday objects (rhopography) with a suggestion of what it means to be that object (ontology).  “I am interested in how we form intimate memories and relationships with everyday objects\,” he explains\, “and the strange metaphysical dark matter between a person’s soul and an inanimate object.”
