SUMMARY:andamio | scaffold exhibition at the AACC Cade Gallery
DESCRIPTION:andamio | scaffold\nDates: Wednesday\, February 4 – Thursday\, March 5\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: Wednesday\, February 11\, 2026\, 6:00-7:00pm \nPanel Discussion with the artists: Wednesday\, February 11\, 2026\, 5:00-6:00pm \nJoin us for the Cade Gallery’s spring exhibition\, andamio | scaffold\, which brings together the work of Maria Luz Bravo\, Gerardo Camargo\, and Wilfredo Valladares Lara\, three artists whose personal histories and collective memory are bound to migration\, labor\, and the evolving landscapes of identity. Their work—using photography\, sculptural forms\, and reclaimed materials—reveals how movement across borders and cultures shapes not only individual lives\, but whole communities. Using the scaffold as a metaphor for holding weight during times of change and as a frame for transformation\, the exhibition speaks to cities\, materials\, and bodies as traces of ancestral journeys\, social struggle\, and creative resilience. Together\, the works map histories of displacement\, hope\, memory\, and belonging across generations and continents. andamio | scaffold invites viewers to see beyond surfaces—into the labor\, memory\, and enduring spirit that reconstructs identity and builds new foundations of belonging. \n\nMaria Luz Bravo’s (b. 1975\, Mexico) photographs examine the intersections of space\, politics\, and social resilience. With a background in architecture\, her practice explores the urban and architectural landscape as a lens to reveal broader social phenomena\, with a focus on cities in conflict\, contested political boundaries\, and the resilience of communities navigating instability. In keeping with this focus\, her recent series\, titled “Debris\,” captures the detritus—scraps of clothing\, utensils\, bags\, and other necessities—abandoned by immigrants making the perilous passage to the United States. Rejecting a longer view that might situate these discarded objects in a specific location or landscape\, Bravo instead turns her camera to the ground where her body is a corporeal reminder that this contested terrain was not always empty\, nor was it silent.  \n \nGerardo Camargo\, born in Mexico City\, explores the use of techniques and discarded materials traditionally used in building construction. In so doing\, his work combines abstraction with the aesthetics of American architecture. Rather than making use of pristine materials\, Camargo embraces the marks\, cuts\, scratches\, fingerprints\, and other evidence of utility and manipulation to speak to the past life and energy—the hidden effects of labor—evident in these objects. In so doing\, Camargo creates alternative narratives that foreground the acts carried by bodies in motion\, bodies engaged in labor\, so often erased in architecture and our built environment. For example\, American Landscape combines a paint spattered wooden ladder with carved mountainous form as an evocative reminder of the human toil and labor behind nearly every aspect of the urban landscape. \nArtist\, educator\, and curator\, Wilfredo Valladares\, originally from Honduras\, has built a practice that bridges cultures\, histories\, and lived experiences. His work has long sought to elevate the voices and cultural narratives of Latinx and Caribbean artists through public cross-cultural initiatives. In his interdisciplinary work\, he has consistently brought together unusual materials with themes around memory and migration to create compelling new forms that speak to both personal and broader cultural narratives. In his recent series\, created specifically for andamio | scaffold\, Valladares uses recycled materials\, found objects\, and mixed media to examine migration\, labor\, and political displacement. As in Gerardo Camargo’s work\, the materials make visible histories of use\, wear\, and endurance\, reflecting the physical and emotional realities of crossing borders\, working in unfamiliar spaces\, and living with and in uncertainty. In works like Cruzando Sueños\, Valladares draws on a complex interweaving of abstract and representational forms\, with layered\, often ambiguous meanings that speak to personal and collective narratives shaped by border crossings\, deportation\, and systems of power. Making use of such disused and overlooked items as water jugs and bullet-ridden street signs\, these objects are reframed “as active witnesses to human labor\, resilience\, and survival.” \nImage Credits: \nMaria Luz Bravo\, Untitled\, from the series “Debris\,” 2023.  \nArchival pigment print on cotton rag\, 16 x 20 in. \nGerardo Camargo\, American Landscape\, 2025.  \nDiscarded wooden ladders\, carved discarded construction wood\, \ndimensions variable\, approximately 12 x 12 x 4 ft. \nGerardo Camargo\, La de la Falda de Serpientes\, 2025. \nDiscarded sandpaper from local construction sites\, marble stones\, tape roofing felt\, and discarded wood\, 80 x 45 x 15 in.

SUMMARY:CP presents spring musical: City of Angels
DESCRIPTION:Book by Larry Gelbart\, Music by Cy Coleman\, Lyrics by David Zippel \nDirected by Beth Terranova\, Music Directed by Michelle Bruno \nPerformances are Thurs-Sat at 8:00pm\, Sun at 2pm \nA smart and stylish film noir musical. In the late 1940s\, Stine\, a bookish writer of detective stories\, struggles to adapt his crime novel into a workable screenplay. As Stine tries to maintain some integrity in the backstabbing world of Hollywood\, his protagonist\, a hardboiled private eye named Stone\, fights for survival in a city full of criminals and opportunists. With wit\, humor\, and a fantastic Cy Coleman score\, City of Angels captures the snappy dialogue of a Raymond Chandler novel and the glitzy showmanship of classic Hollywood; the result is a crowd-pleasing musical unlike any other. \nPlease Note: Contains stylized violence\, sexual innuendo\, infidelity\, and period-specific sexism and racism. Contains strong language.

SUMMARY:She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory
DESCRIPTION:The Banneker-Douglass-Tubman Museum proudly announces its newest exhibition\, She Speaks: Black Women Artists and the Power of Historical Memory–a visionary presentation that examines the 250-year history of the United States of America through a Black Feminist lens. This exhibition brings together a powerful constellation of contemporary Maryland-based and internationally recognized Black women artists whose deeply personal and politically charged works bear witness to the past\, illuminate its impact on the present\, and conjure Afrofuturist visions. \nThrough a diverse range of media—including collage\, painting\, print\, photography\, textile\, installation\, and time-based media—She Speaks acknowledges Black women as active participants in the making of this country rather than passive bystanders\, highlighting artists who operate as historians\, archivists\, and scholars to tell their stories. Presented alongside rarely seen archival materials and family heirlooms\, the exhibition highlights the pivotal role Black women have played in shaping and preserving this nation since the Revolutionary era\, while envisioning liberated futures through cosmic speculation. \nFeatured artists include Elizabeth Catlett\, Alanna Fields\, Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither\, Charlyn Griffith-Oro\, Khaleelah I. L. Harris\, Martha Jackson Jarvis\, Fabiola Jean-Louis\, Jeannine Kayembe-Oro\, Zsudayka Nzinga\, Ada Pinkston\, Beverly Price\, Faith Ringgold\, Noreen Smith\, Darlene R. Taylor\, Jessica Valoris\, Savannah G. M. Wood\, and Alisha B. Wormsley. \nAs the nation collectively commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence through coordinated national\, Maryland 250\, and Annapolis 250 initiatives\, this exhibition enters the conversation by expanding how American history is remembered and told. By retracing and reinterpreting these histories through the voices of Black women\, the exhibition challenges audiences to consider whose stories have been preserved\, and whose have yet to be fully recognized. \nShe Speaks is curated by Martina Dodd\, BDTM Curator of Collections and Exhibitions\, with curatorial support from Leslie Rose\, Exhibit Manager. Lending institutions include Academy Art Museum\, Galerie Myrtis\, Howard University Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.\, James E. Lewis Museum of Art\, and Reginald F. Lewis Museum. \nShe Speaks will open to the public with an Opening Reception and Black History Month celebration on Saturday\, February 7\, 2026. The exhibition will remain on view through January 16\, 2027\, with interpretive programming offered throughout the year to further engage with the exhibition’s themes of history\, memory\, resistance\, and Black women’s enduring contributions to the nation’s cultural and civic life.
