WFHB Bloomington Community Radio
This event engages our IU campus and local community by providing ways to both talk about and understand systems of racial oppression. Embodied Conversations on Racism is a dance performance mediated by context and conversation to address how we are relating to our country’s current racial climate.
The performance critically engages our campus community in thinking about systems of oppression in relation to the current racial climate in our country. The performers and facilitators of the event ask how these systems of oppression impact our lives; first through dance performance, and secondly through a mediated community dialogue.
Campus organizations dedicated to social justice and service will be present to share information and ways to continue the dialogue and take purposeful action.
This dance event is a collaboration between Dr. Nyama McCarthy-Brown and Selene Carter, Assistant Professors in Contemporary Dance in the IU Department of Theater, Drama & Contemporary Dance. Associate Professor in the IU School of Education, Dr. Stephanie Power-Carter, is dramaturg and facilitator of the conversation. The performance features members of the IU Contemporary Dance Theater and other guests.
Sponsored by: A New Frontiers Experimentation Grant provided by The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR), The Office of the Vice President for Diversity Equity and Multicultural Affairs (DEMA), the School of Education, and the Department of Theatre, Drama, and Contemporary Dance.

Howl at the Moon is an anual art and music festival on the Milwaukee Trail in Bedford, Indiana. Each year HAM raises money for specific projects on the trail.
With the support of the community and local artist we were able to raise enough funds for both a connector trail to Wilson Park and bicylces for the police department. This year we would like to fund another connector trail.

What many of them don’t know is that with each purchase of a pumpkin, they are supporting arts education. With the funds from the Patch the Bloomington Creative Glass Center (BCGC) will bring a fully-equipped hot glass arts education center to Bloomington, proposed to open in summer of 2017.
This year’s Patch will feature over nine hundred hand blown glass pumpkins made by community volunteers. Over 40 local artists and non-artists have participated in blowing the pumpkins. Like at a real pumpkin patch, glass pumpkins will be out in the lawn for people to “pick” their own.
Park admission is $7 per in-state vehicle and $9 per out-of-state vehicle.
