Chicago Chronicles - David Boykin & the Dorchester Projects - April 22nd & 29th, 2011

I have been travelling, playing, working, dreaming between Minneapolis and Chicago looking to expand my Creative Realm, and to add flow to the migration of creative people who connect these two Midwestern creative powerhouse cities.  I'll be introducing you to artists that move me - hope you connect with them as well.

David Boykin @ Dorchester

David Boykin is a musical journeyman, a saxophone shark and free-minded player -a member of the group Boykin, Sigfried and Reed, and  leader of groups such as David Boykin Expanse, the Microcosmic Sound Orchestra, and his David Boykin Outet, and Host of Sunday afternoon Sonic Healing Ministries.  

David has been in Residency at the Dorchester Projects for March and April and will culminate w/ two evenings of live, recorded performance, April 22nd and 29th, 2011 at 7:00pm

The event I went to on April 9th was warm, inviting and exciting - with creative souls of all sorts, and all ages, mixing, talking, eating, listening, and exploring the house, listening room, book, music and slide collections in these two buildings owned by Chicago Cultural Planner and South Side icon Theaster Gates. toasty and inviting as a cultural fire needs to be.......build on!

Pictures from April 8th - Here

April 22nd and 29th Events are at  6918 S Dorchester Avenue, Chicago, IL

Whose University - Tomorrow - Wed, April 20th

Friends and Colleagues are gathering to question & discuss the priorities, power plays and politics of the  University of Minnesota - our largest publicly funded University. In their own words:


WHOSE UNIVERSITY?
Whose education?
Whose voices are heard?

As the University of Minnesota pursues a path toward becoming an elite, global research institution, it is becoming more visibly exclusive. The Whose University? Campaign is organizing students, educators, workers, and community members to challenge this institution's priorities in equal access and resources for underrepresented groups.  This semester we began production of a documentary-style film which will be released next fall.
See "About Our Project" on the left sidebar for more details.
