This Paradise was so vividly depicted in the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ literature that I never had to spend time imagining my own interpretation. The oppressive life as a Jehovah’s Witness always felt more real to me than their promise of Paradise.    \nThe fabric in my work is a vessel of visual and tactile experience that directly relates to memories of my family and to the experience of being shunned. This choice of materials is in dialogue with the practice of arts and crafts that my mother maintained when I was a little girl\, specifically the fabrics she used to sew my Kingdom Hall dresses and the fake flowers she used to make floral arrangements and bouquets. The installation You Will Be With Me in Paradise is my criticism of the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ promise of Paradise\, depicting it as a landscape of plastic plants and flowers and thereby subverting it into a space that I can accept on my own terms. A mirror mounted in this representation invites viewers to see themselves in this literal and figurative space.  \nStrictly following the Ten Commandments\, the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not allow for any iconic imagery in their worship. In keeping with this convention\, I utilize the accidental iconography of cookie-cutter Kingdom Hall spaces\, such as their literature\, carpets\, chairs\, wallpapers\, platforms\, podiums\, microphones\, preaching practices\, double-speak\, and Paradise Earth imagery. \nThis body of work is a longing for the childhood nostalgia of these spaces\, and for the people I left behind in those spaces. While my work is a definite criticism of an oppressive religious cult\, I do not seek to mock its belief system or the spaces in which its operates\, but rather to provide my own sincere interpretation of each. I believe in the freedom of religion\, but unlike the Jehovah’s Witnesses\, I also believe in the freedom to leave a religion without the fear of estrangement\, harassment\, and coercive control. \n  \nMore About Steisha \nI use my work to explore my personal experience of being born and raised in a fundamentalist religious cult\, and the aftermath of leaving the cult. I was taught that Armageddon could come at any moment\, and only the true worshippers of Jehovah would survive and receive everlasting life on a Paradise Earth. My purpose in life was predetermined and designed around being a Jehovah’s Witness. There was room for very little else. It was a life of isolation\, guilt\, and fear. \nMy practice is interdisciplinary\, using drawing\, painting\, puppetry\, and stop motion animation together to unfold a narrative of indoctrination and liberation. Cultic studies research has become the cornerstone of my practice\, which feels quite necessary in the current political climate and state of insurgency in the United States. Although my experience and focus has religious roots\, my research applies across the different practices of undue influence\, indoctrination\, radicalization\, and extremism. There are many common threads woven through the tactics of extremist cults. \nMy work helps me to confront the fact that I am an apostate\, take back my power and my voice\, and speak out against a system of oppression hiding in plain sight. I make this work for myself\, for others who have also had these experiences\, and to create a public awareness around these issues. I use this work to celebrate how I have forcefully taken the things that I had been denied since birth: an education\, a career\, a voice\, a free life where two plus two always equals four. \n  \nLearn more about Steisha and her work at www.steishapintado.com or follow her @steishapintado \n https://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/2022-mfa-thesis-exhibition-steisha-pintado1 URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/closing-reception-for-steisha-pintado-mfa-exhibition/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221118T190000 DTSTAMP:20260411T014244 CREATED:20240130T163514Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163514Z UID:10000506-1668792600-1668798000@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Gavin Hunter\, viola • Undergraduate Recital DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETSDOWNLOAD PROGRAM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudience Note\nTickets are required to attend any concert or recital in person.

This Paradise was so vividly depicted in the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ literature that I never had to spend time imagining my own interpretation. The oppressive life as a Jehovah’s Witness always felt more real to me than their promise of Paradise.    \nThe fabric in my work is a vessel of visual and tactile experience that directly relates to memories of my family and to the experience of being shunned. This choice of materials is in dialogue with the practice of arts and crafts that my mother maintained when I was a little girl\, specifically the fabrics she used to sew my Kingdom Hall dresses and the fake flowers she used to make floral arrangements and bouquets. The installation You Will Be With Me in Paradise is my criticism of the Jehovah’s Witnesses’ promise of Paradise\, depicting it as a landscape of plastic plants and flowers and thereby subverting it into a space that I can accept on my own terms. A mirror mounted in this representation invites viewers to see themselves in this literal and figurative space.  \nStrictly following the Ten Commandments\, the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not allow for any iconic imagery in their worship. In keeping with this convention\, I utilize the accidental iconography of cookie-cutter Kingdom Hall spaces\, such as their literature\, carpets\, chairs\, wallpapers\, platforms\, podiums\, microphones\, preaching practices\, double-speak\, and Paradise Earth imagery. \nThis body of work is a longing for the childhood nostalgia of these spaces\, and for the people I left behind in those spaces. While my work is a definite criticism of an oppressive religious cult\, I do not seek to mock its belief system or the spaces in which its operates\, but rather to provide my own sincere interpretation of each. I believe in the freedom of religion\, but unlike the Jehovah’s Witnesses\, I also believe in the freedom to leave a religion without the fear of estrangement\, harassment\, and coercive control. \n  \nMore About Steisha \nI use my work to explore my personal experience of being born and raised in a fundamentalist religious cult\, and the aftermath of leaving the cult. I was taught that Armageddon could come at any moment\, and only the true worshippers of Jehovah would survive and receive everlasting life on a Paradise Earth. My purpose in life was predetermined and designed around being a Jehovah’s Witness. There was room for very little else. It was a life of isolation\, guilt\, and fear. \nMy practice is interdisciplinary\, using drawing\, painting\, puppetry\, and stop motion animation together to unfold a narrative of indoctrination and liberation. Cultic studies research has become the cornerstone of my practice\, which feels quite necessary in the current political climate and state of insurgency in the United States. Although my experience and focus has religious roots\, my research applies across the different practices of undue influence\, indoctrination\, radicalization\, and extremism. There are many common threads woven through the tactics of extremist cults. \nMy work helps me to confront the fact that I am an apostate\, take back my power and my voice\, and speak out against a system of oppression hiding in plain sight. I make this work for myself\, for others who have also had these experiences\, and to create a public awareness around these issues. I use this work to celebrate how I have forcefully taken the things that I had been denied since birth: an education\, a career\, a voice\, a free life where two plus two always equals four. \n  \nLearn more about Steisha and her work at www.steishapintado.com or follow her @steishapintado \n https://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/2022-mfa-thesis-exhibition-steisha-pintado1 URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/steisha-pintado-mfa-exhibition-greensboro-project-space/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221114T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221114T190000 DTSTAMP:20260411T014244 CREATED:20240130T163522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163522Z UID:10000530-1668447000-1668452400@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Studio Voice Recital DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETSDOWNLOAD PROGRAMVIEW ON CPVA LIVE\n\n   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudience Note\nTickets are required to attend any concert or recital in person.

As an artist it is a wonderland that I enjoy exploring and taking what I learned and transforming it into works of art. This is an experience that I am so glad and appreciative to have however\, while learning about the wonders of Africa I also had learn about the terrible beauties\, misconceptions\, perversions\, abuse\, and other heinous aspects that Africa and its people had to endure from Western Nations /Colonizers  and from within.From this comes The Lion\, The Jackal\, and The Man a solo art exhibition that explores the cultures\, histories\, and peoples within Africa. The works in The Lion\, The Jackal\, and The Man is a direct acknowledgement of the beautiful\, the good\, the bad\, and the inconceivables of the history and cultures within Africa.  \nThe Works within The Lion\, The Jackal\, and The Man comprise of surreal collages\, drawings\, illustrations\, and prints of original art by Zaire Miles-Moultrie. Each piece aims to tackle a wide range of subject matters while also enticing the viewer to come up and look closer at each piece that is on display. Ultimately the aim of this exhibition is to expose the viewer to the many cultures and peoples of Africa while acknowledging and combating their own ideologies\, perceptions\, and biases regarding Africa.  \n  \nMore About Zaire \nZaire Miles-Moultrie was born in the sunny state of California but raised and grown in the old North State of North Carolina. At a young age he was introduced to the world of art through comic books and his love for the arts grew immensely throughout the years. After picking up his first pencil and drawing his very first line he was never able to stop himself from learning more about his passions and himself. Currently Zaire is enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) pursuing his degrees in Entrepreneurship and a B.F.A. in studio art with a concentration in Printmaking and Drawing. At the moment he has an interest in researching and learning more about modern Afro-Centric artists\, art\, and sustainable art and business practices. \nAs I grow as an artist I always want to continue to grow my sources of inspirations whether it be from paintings\, sculptures\, cultures\, histories\, peoples\, etc. By using printmaking and drawing as my medium of choice I can express myself\, my voice\, and message in a multitude of ways while also paying homage to inspirations. My art\, designs\, drawing\, and prints are collages of the many ideologies that I have come to learn\, accept\, and embody like blackness\, negritude\, intellectualism\, love\, and allyship. This leads me to combat harmful and hateful ideologies that go against my very core as an artist and as a human being.   \nhttps://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/the-lion-the-jackal-and-the-man URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/closing-reception-for-zaire-miles-moultrie/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221111T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221111T210000 DTSTAMP:20260411T014244 CREATED:20240130T163522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163522Z UID:10000527-1668195000-1668200400@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:THE WILD PARTY DESCRIPTION:Book\, Music\, and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa\nBased on the poem by Joseph Moncure March\nDirected by Jim Wren \nDates: \nNovember 11 – 12 at 7:30 p.m.\nNovember 12\, 13\, and 19 at 2:00 p.m.\nNovember 16 – 19 at 7:30 p.m. \nTickets: Call the UNCG Theatre Box Office at 336-334-4392 or click on the Etix “website” link below to purchase tickets online. \nAge Rating: PG-13\nRun Time: Approx. 1 hr. and 30 min.\nFrame/Works Discussion via Zoom: November 21 at 7:00 p.m.\nLocation: Pam and David Sprinkle Theatre (Brown Building)\, 402 Tate St\, Greensboro\, NC 27412 \nSummary: \nLovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment.

The show challenges the traditional use of gallery space\, bringing into question what type of work “deserves” to be placed in a spotlight and how artwork is “supposed” to be displayed in a professional setting. We use imaginative methods of installation to construct an anti-exhibit that can be experienced in an exciting and unconventional manner. We hope that this show will allow for an accessible experience for everyone who comes to it with an open mind and ready hands to play. \n  \nMore About Abby  \nAbby Weatherholtz is a senior simultaneously pursuing a B.F.A. in Painting and Drawing and a B.S. in Psychology. She is interested in multi-media and textural work such as impasto painting\, paper folding and manipulating\, collage\, textiles\, and others. Her concepts discuss LGBTQIA+ rights\, mental health\, and the intimacy involved in domestic life. \n  \nCuratorial Thoughts from Peter  \nThe struggle of defining art has been going on for as long as anyone can remember. As an undergrad intern at GPS this semester\, I’ve been granted a glimpse at the role that art galleries play in this effort. Contrary to the way we usually interact with art out in the world\, galleries and museums most often display art in a sterile and pristine environment. There are obvious benefits in this kind of presentation\, but after a while it starts to subconsciously enforce an idea of exclusivity. The idea that only that which is exhibited a certain way is art\, and everything else is not. “Unboxed”\, is a small attempt to present art in a more inclusive way that works against that trend. An anti-exhibit. \n  \nFeaturing UNCG Student Artists:\nKyla Fisher  \nKristen Dixon  \nBrenda Fonseca Martinez \nEllison Rauch  \nShayla Scales  \nBjorn Bates  \nCaitlin Parris   \nJoseph Hodge  \nAshe Smith  \nEden Wells  \nAlaina Hooks \nLuna Roberts  \nBeyonce Kee   \nSophia Dominici  \nWesley Durham   \nIris Choi  \nMontana Norman   \nMarvin Cano \n \nhttps://www.greensboroprojectspace.com/blog-post/unboxed-an-anti-exhibit URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/closing-reception-for-unboxed-an-anti-exhibit/ LOCATION:Greensboro Project Space\, 111 E February 1 Pl\, Greensboro\, NC 27406\, USA CATEGORIES:School of Art END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221111T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221111T190000 DTSTAMP:20260411T014244 CREATED:20240130T163521Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240130T163521Z UID:10000526-1668187800-1668193200@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Nuo Shi\, piano • Undergraduate Recital DESCRIPTION:RESERVE TICKETSDOWNLOAD PROGRAMVIEW ON CPVA LIVE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAudience Note\nTickets are required to attend any concert or recital in person.

Charles Mingus Jr. (1922–1979) was an American jazz bassist\, pianist\, composer\, bandleader\, and author. A major proponent of collective improvisation\, he is considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers in history\, with a career spanning three decades and collaborations with other jazz musicians such as Louis Armstrong\, Duke Ellington\, Charlie Parker\, Dizzy Gillespie\, and Herbie Hancock. \n\nThe Miles Davis Jazz Studies Program at UNCG is a unique and innovative undergraduate jazz program designed to emulate the traditional process of learning jazz\, through a combination of mentorship\, real-world playing experiences\, and a communal approach to learning. Although the program is housed in one of the largest music schools in the Southeast\, it is kept intentionally small\, resulting in an intensive and highly personalized learning environment. \n\n\n\n\nAudience Note\nWhile masks are still recommended\, they are not required\, and social distancing is encouraged when possible. For details on the Carolina Theatre of Greensboro’s health and safety policies please visit their COVID-19 preparedness page.
