SUMMARY:POSTPONED - 12 Moods of Heaven: A Neo-Soul Food & Jazz Journey through the Great Migration
DESCRIPTION:Announcement From Grand Griot Productions (11/11/25):\n“After much reflection and with deep regret\, the creative team made the difficult decision to delay the production following a recent bereavement and several health-related challenges within the ensemble.” Ticket refunds are available to all patrons and 12 Moods of Heaven hopes to premiere in March 2026. Sign up for the Spirit & Place newsletter to learn when a new date is confirmed. \nLimited Capacity. Registration Required  |  $30/pp \nJoin us for a multi-sensory culinary and cultural experience exploring the nature of movement—of people\, traditions\, and food across this nation. Rooted in the Great Migration\, this event honors the resilience of Soul Food and the African American diaspora through jazz\, spoken word\, spiritual reflection\, and food samplings. \nThe art of Soul Food is grounded in nature—the ability to take the miracle of soil and transform it into a feast! It is also rooted in the ability to adapt amid hardship. Constant change is no easy task. Our African American ancestors took scraps and turned them into a living testimony of resilience. Their ingenuity is no fable of “making something out of nothing\,” but is a demonstration of their creativity\, worth\, and lasting impact on American food and artistic culture. Weaving together music\, gratitude\, and praise to God\, this event fuses history\, art\, faith\, and culinary excellence to celebrate all that is nourishing about the very nature of soul food. \n\nDoors open at 4:30 pm\nPrelude begins 4:45 pm\nEvent from 5pm-6:30pm\nTalk Back from 6:35-7:30\n\nQuestions? Contact 317-531-5752 or email grandgriotpro@gmail.com. \nEvent Organizers: A partnership between Grand Griot Productions LLC\, Witherspoon Presbyterian Church\, Chef Oya\, Rob Dixon & many more. \nRegistration: Click here to register. \n \n

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.
