SUMMARY:Voting in Indiana: The Past\, The Present\, and the Future
DESCRIPTION:What are the unique ways we can persuade Hoosiers to identify as voters? Together we will explore what shapes our personal identities as voters and how we can  influence others to embrace the statement\, “I am a voter!” \nFocusing on individual and collective identity\, this event will engage guests on the history of voting in Indiana and\, using the arts\, encourage attendees to clarify what it means to identify as a voter. Examine how your own voting identity has been shaped and imagine ways we can work to create a stronger culture of voting in Indiana by helping others embrace a “voter” identity. Attendees will be inspired by short performances and make their own “Why I Vote” yard signs. Together\, we will find new ways to convince those reluctant to vote to engage in this most basic form of our democracy. \nJoin us early for a short performance at 3:45pm and be inspired by some awesome\, young break dancers and future voters. \nA partnership between Indiana Vote by Mail\, League of Women Voters of Indiana\, and St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. \nContact the event organizers at 317-408-3222 or barbtullyINVBM@gmail.com. \nThis is a hybrid event with both in-person and virtual participation options. Walk-ins welcome but registration is strongly encouraged by Nov. 5. \nFor ONLINE ATTENDANCE\, click here  (participation on Zoom; remember to include a shipping address to receive yard sign supplies!) \nFor IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE\, click here (St. Luke’s Methodist\, 100 W. 86th St.\, Indianapolis) \nPhoto by Jack Moreh from Freerange Stock

SUMMARY:CANCELLED Reviving a Forgotten Freetown: Mobilizing Family History to Protect Communities
DESCRIPTION:THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. \nDuring this half-day workshop\, we will explore how the small African American community of Norwood was able to mobilize their family history to protect their community from unwelcome change. This hands-on program will allow us to help participants organize their family stories into community histories using newly developed “archival kits.” Intergenerational (12+) but younger children welcome. \nLearn about the history of the Norwood\, a neighborhood on the southeast side of Indianapolis\, founded in the 1860s with the arrival of soldiers who had served in the 28th U.S. Colored Troops during the American Civil War. Ongoing historical research and the creation of community archives are helping preserve this unique cultural asset and this workshop aims to help participants gain the skills in preserving their own family and community histories. \nThe workshop will consist of a history lesson on Norwood followed by hands-on activities in which participants will discover the best methods for building their own archives to tell their own stories on their own terms using newly developed take-home archival kits. By creating new histories that allow historically marginalized communities to be centered\, the workshop aims to uplift people by creating a space where they can define themselves and feel the embodied sense of pride and community that this recognition gives. \nDesigned as an intergenerational gathering\, this event is great for elders\, parents\, and youth age 12+. But if you have younger children\, please bring them with you! WE will have adapted materials available for them to explore. More details will be shared after registration\, but attendees should plan to bring family photos\, documents\, and other materials with them to analyze. \nPartnership between Norwood Community Archives\, Center for Africana Studies & Culture\, and Center for Black Literature & Culture. \nContact event organizers at 317-777-5020 or norwoodcommunityarchives@gmail.com. \nSeating limited to 10 families (2—4 people per group). RSVP by Oct. 25.  \nRegister below. \nImage Courtesy: Norwood Community Archives. Penick-Meyers Family Collection\, Ms Flinora Frazier

SUMMARY:Nourishing Democracy: Healthy IPS School Board Elections
DESCRIPTION:Constitutional republics must be nourished to stay viable. As school board elections offer a microcosm of democracy\, what does IPS board history teach us about the democratic process and what citizens can do to nurture their own sense of civic empowerment? \nOnce regulated to the May Primary\, Indianapolis school board elections are now large and expensive early November events. Debate from a plurality of perspectives is needed for a healthy democracy and a vigorous public education system. So is an understanding of local history. In the early 1920s\, little to no competition existed in school board races which were ostensibly run by the Citizens School Committee. This is the era that deeply segregated and segmented Indianapolis’s public schools into a caste system. As recent media stories have shown\, modern school board elections are being inundated with outside money – and agendas – that threaten to shape public schools in ways the community may not want. Using primary sources and recent news articles\, attendees will be divided into working groups to compare and contrast the past to the present in an effort to plan for the future. Visual arts\, poetry\, and music will further help attendees appreciate the challenges democracy faces while inspiring them to stay engaged and active. \nQuestions? Contact 317-998-1339 or johnharrisloflin@yahoo.com. \nAudience Notes: Doors open at 6pm for guests to interact with the exhibits. Programming begins at 7pm. \nEvent Partners: Charles E. Loflin & Virginia P. Vornehm-Loflin Center on IPS History\, the Black & Latino Policy Institute\, Virgil and Sheila Boyd\, Wyse Ra\, Rev. Dr. Thomas L. Brown\, and artists Dr. Monday\, Clyde Gaw\, and Clockwork Janz. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 9. Walk-ins welcome!

SUMMARY:Cultural Compost: Nourishing Places in the Footprints of Toxic History
DESCRIPTION:ASL Upon Request by Oct. 27. \nFrom the water that we drink to the air that we breathe\, we all have experience with the legacies of environmental damage. This hands-on workshop will help you develop personal stories related to places of environmental harm and then use those stories to nourish the ongoing work of environmental justice. \nCommunity members are invited to share stories of experience with environmental damage (including social and physical harm from industrial waste\, climate change\, pollution\, etc.) and then transform those stories into deeper knowledge\, empathy\, and tools for change. The goal of this workshop is to increase awareness of both common threats and ongoing efforts to create a healthier city\, as well as to gather stories from diverse perspectives that will be included in a forthcoming exhibit hosted at Indy Parks sites in 2024. The stories shared and refined during this workshop will add to a broader understanding (and study) of the city’s toxic heritage and will help ensure that lived experience is part of how we document the history and legacy of toxic environments. Out of decay can come new\, nourishing life. This workshop plows the contaminated soil of the city to grow new understanding and empathy\, and to motivate people to act for a cleaner\, healthier\, sustainable\, and more just future. \nQuestions? Contact 317-327-7161 or Kavita.mahoney@indy.gov \nEvent Partners: IU School of Liberal Arts Museum Studies Program at IUPUI and Indy Parks and Recreation. \nEvent Registration: Registration requested by Nov. 9.

SUMMARY:Earth Pigment: The Alchemy of Soil
DESCRIPTION:Limited capacity. Registration required. \nThis workshop is offered twice: Nov. 7 & Nov. 9.  \nThis hands-on\, earth-honoring workshop invites you to gather\, process\, and transform local soil into natural pigment.

Engage in guided conversation about how we respond to what we do not understand. Write short reflections\, letters\, or poems and contribute a word or phrase to a collaborative community art piece called the Web of Mercy. Set in a calm and creative space\, the program offers time for meaningful dialogue\, quiet reflection\, and artistic expression\, leaving participants with a deeper sense of how the sacred choice of mercy can shape both our inner lives and our relationships with others. \nQuestions?
