Faculty Advisor Seitu Jones Retires
It is with sadness and celebration we announce the retirement of Seitu Jones from the MFAIA faculty. Sadness because we will miss Seitu immensely and celebration because for the past 8 years we have rejoiced in building “beloved community” together, breaking bread, dancing on sand, diving into the spirit bath of the great Salish Sea, and conspiring to decolonize art and higher education. So as we bid a tearful farewell, we stay bright knowing our collective pursuit of the bigger story of ecological and social justice and flourishing connects us forever. We wish Seitu all the best with his many projects and look forward to continued collaborations!
Seitu Jones is the embodiment of compassionate mentorship. He trusts you to be your best self, and models the way with such remarkable certainty that you cannot help but set out; not following his footsteps, but rather charting your own path. He inspires. He loves and laughs. He creates with quiet, kind ferocity. His way of teaching—just like his way of making art—is a way of loving, of building relationship and community. The Goddard MFAIA was, and is, better for his example. — Bonnie Schock, former MFAIA-WA Program Director
Seitu changed my life. He subtly drafted me into the MFAIA *Navy*, initiated me into boat building, and treated me as an artist with something to offer to the world. Most of all, he modelled an art practice abundant with joy, love, and generosity. Advising sessions with Seitu in our little *Navy* vessel, named Lutra, were mindbody excursions. The weight of my portfolio review gave way to sunlight dancing on the water and the playful company of otters. The small boat was a symbol of pure journeys—how buoyant and facile we can be when we follow the flow! I love you, Seitu! — Alumna Stacy Dawson Stearns (MFAIA-WA ’12)
What a gift to be one of Seitu students: I am beyond grateful for these past few months working together. Seitu’s wisdom and grace will stay with me from this day forward as I continue to grow as a human being. Seitu creates from a place of beauty and love. Thank you Seitu for sharing your joy with all of us. — Current Student Rosemary Alpert
Seitu has a way of being wind, current, sail, and steward; all that is needed for boating. Once I was reading Coco Fusco. At the time, Fusco’s work seemed relevant, but when Seitu inquired why I was using Fusco’s work, my attempted answer and his suggestion, thereafter, was a needed gust that helped me refocus on the nucleus that he saw in my work, which I was overlooking. Seeing Seitu’s boat-making presentation was amazing: the dissected maps of the inner makings of the boat, pictures from a trip to West Africa, and the boat-making history he shared were remarkable! — Alumna Librecht Baker (MFAIA-WA ’12)
When I became a faculty advisor at Goddard, Seitu became my advisor in our work, in art, and in life. I have yet to meet a person more gifted, prolific, generous and more humble. I love you Black man. — Former Faculty Advisor Alrick Brown
I feel immensely lucky to have worked with Seitu this semester. He is a man of wisdom and deep love. Because of his loving guidance I fully envisioned my plans and fulfilled them without feeling pressured or forced. Seitu was the perfect advisor and has become a lifelong friend. He always wrote in closing responses, “make love and make art”, which I will joyfully engage in throughout my life. — Current Student Neena Massey

The exhibition ended on July 30th. Presented by: The Art Council of Ladysmith and District.
Stacy Dawson Stearns’ LOVE GASOLINE! Goes To The Edinburgh Fringe
Bessie Award-winning artist and alumna Stacy Dawson Stearns (MFAIA-WA ’12) activates Marcel Duchamp’s sexy imagination in LOVE GASOLINE! an infernal and absurd physical rendering of erotic love and desire.
Devised from Marcel Duchamp’s famously unfinished work, The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (most often called The Large Glass / Le Grand Verre), LOVE GASOLINE! is a striking encounter with Duchamp’s iconic Nude, who guides us into ‘the glass’ to witness elaborate and unconventional acts of desire performed by the Bride and her many Bachelors. Cyclical, fetishy, and unapologetically visceral, LOVE GASOLINE! shatters and reflects the very idea of love and its many games and guises.
LOVE GASOLINE! Travels to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival August 5-26,
Venue 13, Lochend Close, Canongate, EH8 8BL
Conceived and Directed by Stacy Dawson Stearns. Featuring: Tolan Lawrence, Tyree Marshall, Stacy Dawson Stearns, B. Ehst, Gabriel Jimenez, and Audrey Olmos. Music Composition by Ian Stahl.

Manure, Mud, and Microbial Mother Tongues ~ Findings from the R.A.W. Secretome
On a bright late April morning in Philomath, Oregon, a crew of intrepid seekers of microbial encounters braved deep mud, steamy manure, and swirling barn-dust, then undertook a peculiar hunt for invisible “treasures” in the wet grass of the pasture, all as part of the Welcome to the Secretome workshop at the R.A.W. Ass Farm. In association with The Arts Center and OSU Dept. of Microbiology’s exhibition, Microbiomes: To See the Unseen, Domestic/Wild artists and alumni Emily Stone (MFAIA-WA ’08) and Karin Bolender (MFAIA-VT ’07) led explorers through a web of seamy adventures aimed to press against real and imagined boundaries of bodies-in-places and to welcome invisible but lively microbial presences. We conversed and shared a multispecies picnic of fermented foods and drink atop a hotly composting manure pile; we hung out in the barn with resident asses, Aliass and Passenger; and we made friendly gestures of various kinds toward embodied wisdoms of symbiotic kombucha mothers and barnyard ass-tongue microbiomes. Most of all, we all spent the morning welcoming and attending in new ways to the presences of microscopic “old friends” we more often avoid or simply ignore. Thank you to all who attended, and to Melody Owen, alumna Christine Toth (MFAIA-VT ’07), Sharyn Clough, and Hanne Niederhausen for contributing photos. April 29, 2017.
Poetic Performance, A Lamp on Earth Amor América (Love America)
Amor América is a poetic performance that focuses on the need to retake historical memory against the amnesia when it prevails – and denies – a flourishing past that has been mutilated. Here poetry is used as a vehicle to return to the ancestral past, which echoes in the present. Illustrated by a series of prints carved in wood by alumnus Alexy J. Lanza (MFAIA-VT ’16), these are Pre-Columbian prints, the original works were carve in stone between 300-500 A.D. Classic Maya period.
The poetic performance was filmed by the photographer Joshua Berman (MFAIA-VT ’17), collaborating with current MFAIA-VT student Dan Goldman, as the official photographer of the poetic performance. This performance, which proposes a unity between image and word (Imalabra) rooted in the Mesoamerican Mayan worldview, was also a preamble for the exhibition of the printed portfolio of 21 woodcuts made by Lanza, titled “From the Death of One Star”.

Casino: A Palimpsest. Storme Webber at The Frye Museum
Casino: A Palimpsest
The Frye Art Museum is proud to present Casino: A Palimpsest, the first solo museum exhibition of Seattle-based performance artist and poet, alumna Storme Webber (MFAIA-WA, ’14). Through family photographs, archival records, and poetry, Webber unearths a personal history of one of the oldest gay bars on the West Coast, the Casino. As with a palimpsest, on which writing that has been erased remains visible under new script, the historical documents in this exhibition reveal some of the many histories that lie beneath Seattle’s streets. In addition to the objects and documents on view, a series of dynamic programs including performances, readings, and workshops occurring throughout the duration of the exhibition will incorporate the performative and collaborative aspects of Webber’s practice.
Storme Webber is a writer, interdisciplinary artist, educator, and curator. She has performed and toured her work internationally, and consistently foregrounds the work of other marginalized artists, most recently founding Voices Rising: LGBTQ of Color Arts & Culture in Seattle. Her poetry collections include Diaspora and Blues Divine. She has been featured in numerous anthologies, including: Black Women and Writing: The Migration of Subject; International Queer Indigenous Voices; and The Popular Front of Contemporary Poetry, as well as the documentaries Venus Boyz; What’s Right with Gays These Days; and Living Two Spirit. Webber received the 2015 James W. Ray Venture Project Award, which is funded by the Raynier Institute & Foundation through the Frye Art Museum | Artist Trust Consortium. The award supports and advances the creative work of outstanding artists living and working in Washington State and culminates in an exhibition at the Frye Art Museum. Casino: A Palimpsest runs from August 5 to October 29, 2017.

Former MFAIA faculty advisor Danielle Abrams in JUST SITUATIONS: A Performative Convention
“Justice, it is said, must not only be done, it must be seen to be done.” (Homi K. Bhabha).
JUST SITUATIONS is a hybrid conference, festival, and “political science fair” that hosted artists and active citizens who are working in performative ways, moving beyond the trending commercialization of art “about” politics, into modes of performance which directly construct, speculate, design, position, and posit “just” forms of political, social, and personal human being and becoming.
JUST SITUATIONS took place over two weekends in July 2017 in Brooklyn, New York, at Grace Exhibition Space & Panoply Performance Laboratory
Danielle Abrams’ performances react to the social tensions that shape her experiences as a biracial lesbian. Her performances blend scripted and improvised language, and public encounters that rely on engaged participation. She adopts contradictory personae that are also autobiographical, and animates the ambivalent relationships between racial and ethnic groups. Her menagerie of personifications stage humorous encounters while reimagining the cultural narratives of art history, civil rights, and popular culture.
Danielle Abrams has performed at Museum of Fine Arts (Boston), Detroit Institute of the Arts, Institute of Contemporary Art (Boston) Bronx Museum of the Arts, Roger Smith Hotel (NY), The Jewish Museum (NY), Queens Museum, Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, WOW Performance Cafe, and The Kitchen. Abrams has received grants from The New York Foundation of the Arts, Urban Arts Initiative, and the Franklin Furnace Performance Art Fund. She is a Professor of Practice in Performance at School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.

Saints of Failure at the Dixon Place HOT! Festival
The Dixon Place 2017 HOT! Festival of Queer Culture presents alumnus Ryan Conarro’s (MFAIA-WA ’15) solo performance Saints of Failure, featuring makeup collaboration and design by alumna Risha Rox (MFAIA-WA ’16). In the piece, Conarro meets up with Carl Jung, Joan of Arc, and the Holy Trinity as they gather round a vanity table to debate religion, gender, and sexual identity while putting on a whole lot of makeup. Using movement and projections from appropriated pages of an illuminated Christian Book of Hours, Conarro weaves historical tales of the lives of queer saints with personal stories from a sublime and ridiculous coming-of-age as a gay Catholic American. The event is FREE at Dixon Place, 161A Chrystie Street, New York, NY. Thursday, August 3rd, 7:30pm
Ryan is the recipient of a Goddard College MFAIA Alumni Arts Project Award for this upcoming presentation at Dixon Place.

Risha Rox’s Memento Mori in Times Square
On June 8, 2017, alumna Risha Rox (MFAIA-WA ‘16) presented her performative installation entitled Memento Mori, at the 2017 Chashama Gala in Times Square. This work was a direct response to the movement for Black lives. Influenced by the legacies of Afro-Caribbean carnival; black speculative fiction; New Orleans procession funerals and the creative energy of Afrofuturism, Risha Rox paid homage to the ancestors killed by state violence (such as 12 year old Tamir Rice), and offered audiences alternative depictions of #BlackJoy. Alumna Ayanna Bassiouni (MFAIA-WA ’15) also came to NYC to assist Risha with the set-up and participate by being performatively painted.

The Fierce Bellies Collective Author New Performance Score
Current Fierce Bellies Collective members MFAIA-WA Program Director JuPong Lin, faculty advisor Devora Neumark and outgoing faculty advisor Seitu Jones have recently completed a new performance score called “Instructions for Being Water”. The Collective launched this score in Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh unceded and traditional First Nations territory, currently known as Vancouver, BC. They also acknowledge the Indigenous peoples of their current home places: Nipmuc lands now called Massachusetts; Kanien’keha:ka – unceded Mohawk traditional territory – a place which has long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst nations; and the home of the Dakota, where the Twin Cities began at the confluence of two rivers is Oheyawahi or “a hill much visited.”
The performance score is intended to resonate in synchrony with a team of climate scientists who today issued a warning that humanity has only three years to dramatically lower greenhouse emissions “or face the prospect of dangerous global warming” (Ian Johnston, 2017). The authors write (in the introduction to this score): “In our desire to contribute to a radical alternative to the widespread eclipse of the truth about interconnectivity, we – the Fierce Bellies Collective – lean towards each other and again outward. We invite new kinships and invoke ways of living and being to counter the current patterns of destruction stemming from the colonialist dualistic thinking that creates a sense of separation and otherness.”

Public Art Commissions
Beginning in the fall, MFAIA-WA faculty advisor Laiwan will be one of six artists invited to work with Barbara Cole, artist, consultant, producer and curator of art in public space. Ms Cole has been contracted by the City of Vancouver (CoV) to develop a public art Master Plan for Vancouver’s Northeast False Creek (NEFC). Working from a position that artists’ research can significantly influence urban development, Laiwan has been invited to participate in the “Discovery Project”, a series of artists’ projects that explore and mark different phases of the area’s planning, construction, and occupation. Her research stemming from her 2014 project FOUNTAIN: the source or origin of anything is significant in this as it is located within the NEFC area.
Also, Laiwan is partnering with TransLink on public art at a forthcoming transit exchange renovation project. She will work closely with the design team to introduce a program of artistic enhancements throughout the transit exchange design. TransLink is Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation authority.
