37. Susanna Bluhm: Mississippi & Arizona
Many of us reacted to the 2016 election by crying, binge drinking, and unfriending family members on Facebook. Susanna Bluhm vowed to visit as many so-called "red states" as possible over the next four years to have firsthand experiences in places she only knew through the media. "I'm not trying to have the quintessential experience of each state," says Bluhm, but she's also "not observing from a distance." Mississippi & Arizona is what happens when a queer, white mother who happens to be one of the most sensuous and thoughtful oil painters in the Pacific Northwest seeks out intimate experiences in two places very different from her own.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY

ART

38. All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party
This exhibition of photographs, from Michelle Dunn Marsh and Negarra A. Kudumu's 2016 book of the same title, undermines the popular idea that the Black Panther aesthetic was limited to "gun-toting, well-dressed black men with berets and gun-toting, well-dressed women with Afros." Contemporary photographers and visual artists—including locals like Maikoiyo Alley-Barnes and Christopher Paul Jordan, as well as nationally celebrated figures like Endia Beal and Carrie Mae Weems—flesh out themes of black identity, anti-racist resistance, and cultural, spiritual, and intellectual iconographies that reach far beyond surface-level militant chic. Through art, the curators hope to turn our focus to the Black Panther Party's cultural and societal ambitions and demands: freedom, justice, shelter, education, employment, and safety from police violence. Gain a more cogent appreciation of how aesthetic beauty can strengthen the art of protest. JOULE ZELMAN

Politically, Paula Boggs knew and felt enough to resign from Trump’s President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities, late last summer (which of course seems like ancient history, now). Musically, she weaves soul and bluegrass into what she rightfully terms “soulgrass.” The banjo keeps the time, the piano surfaces to make ripples, and Boggs, sounding like a slightly battered Joan Armatrading, sucks us in by just sticking around.

This show offers the relatively rare chance to hear these Pacific Northwest bedroom beats live. Hush Hush artist Shelf Nunny and local producer IG88 specialize in lush slo-mo beat work, both instrumental and with vocalists.
