SUMMARY:Making Room at the Table: The Story of the Philadelphia Eleven
DESCRIPTION:ASL Upon Request. \nWatch The Philadelphia Eleven\, a compelling new documentary film about the first women to become Episcopal priests. Join a panel discussion with the filmmaker\, two of the Eleven\, and some of Indy’s trailblazing female religious leaders. \nThe film shows how a brave group of women shattered the stained glass ceiling on July 29\, 1974\, by challenging the very core of patriarchal culture to seek ordination as priests in the Episcopal Church. It is a powerful story of faith and conviction. It is a story for all of us\, regardless of faith tradition. \nTheir story prompts questions such as what does a just and inclusive community look like in practice? How do we break down barriers with grace and remain true to ourselves in the process? How do we\, as either the protagonist or as an ally\, stand up to institutions that do not allow people to be who they are called to be? How do we practice radical inclusivity? \nAfter the film screening\, guests will hear from the filmmaker\, Margo Guernsey\, as well as two of the “Philadelphia Eleven\,” Rev. Dr. Carter Heyward and Rev. Nancy Wittig. Joining them in conversation will be Bishop Jennifer Baskerville-Burrows\, the first Black woman elected diocesan bishop\, and Rabbi Sandy Sasso\, the first woman to be ordained a rabbi by the Reconstructionist movement. These trailblazing women have each played key roles in making room at the table and in bringing women’s perspectives and leadership to provide spiritual nourishment. \nQuestions? Contact 317-926-1346 or ktrumancox@trinitychurchindy.org. \nEvent Partners: Trinity Episcopal Church\, Indianapolis; St. Paul’s Episcopal Church\, Richmond; Christ Church Cathedral; and the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by noon on November 3. Walk-ins welcome. \nAudience Note: Doors open at 6pm with seating beginning at 6:30pm. Entry to Newfields requires x-ray and bag screening. Please allow extra time for entry. The film screening and parking are free and fully accessible. Food is available at the museum cafe from 6-6:30pm.

SUMMARY:More Than Words: Nourishing the Myaamia Community through Language and Cultural Revitalization
DESCRIPTION:ASL Interpreted. \nFeaturing Daryl Baldwin\, founding director of the Myaamia Center\, discover the ways language nourishes deep connections to self and community through this interactive presentation on efforts to revitalize indigenous culture and languages. \nWhen we view language as simply a tool for communication\, it doesn’t seem so harmful to swap one tool for another or to alter – or discard – the tool altogether. But when we recognize language as a knowledge system and a core component of identity\, we see how it connects us to our history and ancestry. Local Native and Indigenous communities know this better than anyone else as they fight to reclaim lost\, arguably\, stolen language. Language revitalization efforts offer the next generation of speakers the opportunity to better connect with tribal knowledge systems\, philosophy\, and values\, thereby nourishing a new generation’s access to ancestry and identity \nQuestions? Contact 317-274-2462 or festival@iupui.edu. \nEvent Partners: IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI linguist student Kayla McVeigh with support from the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art and the following IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI departments\, programs\, and centers: American Indian and Linguistics Programs; Departments of Philosophy\, Anthropology\, Religious Studies\, English\, History\, Sociology\, and World Languages and Culture; The Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture; IUPUI Arts & Humanities Institute; and the Native American Student Alliance (NASA). \nRegistration: Registration requested by Nov. 4.

SUMMARY:Rooted in Love\, Lifted in Strength: The Pettiford-Weaver Story
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Love\, Lifted in Strength is a documentary following the Pettiford-Weaver family–descendants of one of the first Black settlements in Indiana. Through faith\, family\, and fortitude they have nourished one another at family reunions for 100+ consecutive years and celebrated their heritage with ownership of their recently reclaimed historic land. \nFleeing slavery and persecution\, Black settlers moved to Grant County\, Indiana in the 1840s establishing what would become the Weaver Settlement. The settlement included schools\, churches\, stores\, a horseracing track\, and even a home for the elderly. A limited supply of farm land and higher paying city jobs drew people away from the settlement in the 1920s and 30s\, but the descendants of this proud self-contained Black community have boasted an annual family reunion since 1919. \nLearn more about this amazing family and their history – Indiana’s history! – by viewing a documentary and hearing from descendants of the Pettiford-Weaver family. \nDoors open at 6pm for a soul reception with the documentary viewing beginning at 6:30pm. An audience discussion will follow. \nQuestions? 317-413-0926 or PettifordWeaverLand@gmail.com. \nEvent Partners: Loving Life Productions\, LLC; the Pettiford-Weaver Family; and WFYI Public Media. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 9.

SUMMARY:A Blessing\, not a Burden with Alex Kor and Graham Honaker
DESCRIPTION:ASL provided by students in IUI’s Program in American Sign Language (ASL) and English Interpreting \nBy all accounts\, Dr. Alex Kor’s life has been a miracle. The son of two Holocaust survivors\, including the Mengel twin Eva Kor\, Alex will discuss his book A Blessing\, Not a Burden. Co-author Graham Honaker and Troy Fears of CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center join the discussion. \nEva Kor\, Alex Kor’s mother\, was known for her controversial choice to forgive the Nazis. She did not forgive them on behalf of anyone but herself\, and her choice to forgive was a way of giving herself peace and freedom from anger. During this event\, Alex Kor will explore what it was like being raised by two Holocaust survivors who also experienced immigration to the United States\, continued antisemitism\, and post-traumatic stress. Through it all\, Alex has retained a deep sense of gratitude for his upbringing and life’s journey. \nQuestions?: Contact 317-715-9240 or carnett@jccindy.org. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between JCC Indianapolis\, CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center\, and Hooverwood Living. \nRegistration: Registration is encouraged.

SUMMARY:Souls of the Seasoned Saints: An Exploration and Exhibition of Aging Bodies
DESCRIPTION:Aging bodies have a wealth of knowledge to share with the world – their experiences\, courage\, triumphs\, failures\, and redirection. This exhibit highlights seasoned bodies to reclaim and uplift the\nnarratives and journeys of our elders. Exhibit opens at 6PM with the panel discussion beginning at 7PM. \nWe only get one body and the journey that body takes is filled with amazing life lessons. Yet\, an obsession of appearing young permeates society. This photo exhibition— built around questions such as\, “What advice would you give your younger self about the aging journey?”— aims to highlight seasoned bodies (55+) and encourage deep gratitude for the bodies we have. Too often we run away from the idea of getting older. We complain about changes with skin\, firmness\, attractiveness\, and hope to distract the world from our “imperfections.”  However\, if blessed\, we all will age\, shift\, and change. This opportunity will remind attendees that aging is a gift\, one that we are not all fortunate to receive. Join us in a spirit of for the bodies that come before us and the bodies we will one day leave behind. \nExhibit Dates: Can’t make it out on Nov. 8?\nCheck out the exhibit from Nov. 4 – 10.\nMonday – Friday\, 10AM – 4PM\nSaturday\, 10AM – 2PM\n*Slightly different times appear in the festival event guide. The times on this webpage are the correct times. \nQuestions: Contact 317-278-4060 or info@fatnessfiction.com. \nEvent Organizer: A partnership between Fatness Fiction and Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. \nRegistration: Walks-in welcome\, but registration is encouraged.
