During his tenure\, the Phoenix Art Museum presented nearly 500 exhibits\, 50 of which Ballinger personally organized. Ballinger has a keen interest in the intersection of art and water\, and is a nationally respected arts advocate. \n  URL:https://azhumanities.org/event/az-h20-art-phoenix/ LOCATION:Cowboy-Life-Exhibit-3 CATEGORIES:Community Partnership,Community Program,Water/Ways ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://azhumanities.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Hoover-Dam-on-the-Colorado-River.-Lake-Mead-waters-on-left-May-1972-courtesy-U.S.-National-Archives-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20180721T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20180721T153000 DTSTAMP:20260207T110901 CREATED:20180627T105624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180627T105624Z UID:10564-1532163600-1532187000@azhumanities.org SUMMARY:Liz Warren at the Payson Book Festival - Payson DESCRIPTION:Liz Warren: Liz Warren\, a fourth-generation Arizonan\, is the director and one of the founders of the South Mountain Community College Storytelling Institute in Phoenix\, Arizona.

It is fitting that the month used to honor artistic expression of word also shares space with the work to raise and uplift voices of survivors. Join spoken word artist\, Leilani Clark\, as she shares her journey using writing as a method to heal from trauma\, validate her truth and break through silence. Strategies will be explored to transition written word to spoken word and build confidence in stage performance and personal story telling. \nLeilani Clark is a native-born Tucsonan of Native (Diné/Santa Clara) and African American heritage. She is a community organizer and activist who has been involved in the Immigrant Rights Movement and fight to preserve cultural education in public AZ schools before\, during and after the 2010 signing of anti-Migrant bill\, SB 1070\, and anti-Ethnic Studies bill\, HB 2281. Leilani’s political analysis further broadened around gender equality after surviving sexual assault and an oppressive rape culture of silence and victim-blaming. In 2013 Leilani began dabbling in the art of spoken word to confront silence around gender violence in movement spaces and in 2014 she relocated to Las Vegas\, NV where she further explored the art of slam poetry. Leilani fired up the local Sin City open-mic scene\, regularly performing poetry\, music and previously co-hosting Las Vegas’s longest running weekly open-mic\, “The Human Experience.” The winds recently brought her back to her hometown and she’s been actively using the art of slam poetry to convey messages of cultural pride\, social justice\, healing and empowerment.

This exposure often comes through social media\, such as YouTube videos\, tweets\, Facebook posts and Tumblr blogs. Despite that exposure\, many young people are unprepared to discuss race and racism in productive ways\, and many parents and educators are unsure how to guide these discussions. So how do we develop a “racial literacy” to have these conversations? Like learning to read and write\, racial literacy equips us to talk about race and understand historical and systemic contexts of race and racism\, and it helps navigate the parallel dialogue occurring in media. Join us for a community conversation about racism\, racial literacy and social media.

Words like “brand\,” “maverick\,” and “dude\,” along with phrases like” climb down off your high horse” and “passing the buck” all grew out of the culture and experiences of those who moved into and lived in the American West. These creative words are poetic\, descriptive and often quite humorous like the saying “He’s got a ten-dollar Stetson on a five-cent head\,” or “she’s as nervous as a long-tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chairs.” This was the language of the frontier and as we moved into it\, the language moved right along with us like a shave-tailed mule hitched to a wagon. Ride shotgun with Renzi as he explores the meanings and historical origins of these Western words and slang phrases. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has written and been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.  Although he derives great satisfaction from his professional pursuits\, his proudest moment was the birth of his twin sons.
