SUMMARY:Resistance at Home Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Artwork created by youth\, for youth\, Resistance At Home is the culminating exhibition of artwork created by YouthCAN artists meditating on meanings of home and collective struggle. \nExplore identity and culture through art with the limited time exhibit at Wing Luke Museum. With a wide lens\, Resistance at Home seeks to uncover the ways in which we resist the US empire’s white supremacy\, queerphobia\, patriarchy\, and racial capitalism while situated in the belly of the beast. On a personal level\, Resistance at Home explores how we can take action in our own lives\, interrogate notions of home\, and recognize the personal as political. \nFrom Filipino labor organizing in the 20th century to contemporary gentrification in the Chinatown International District (CID)\, students explored the varied histories of Asian American\, Native Hawaiian\, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) resistance. \nYouthCAN is the Wing Luke Museum’s free art program for anyone aged 13-19 of all levels of artistic experience.

SUMMARY:American Conversations Essay Contest
DESCRIPTION:American Conversations is an essay contest open to residents of Founders’ Place Historical District\, Inc. between the ages of 17 – 29. This is our second year to participate in Civic Season and to offer the essay contest as a way to engage you people in expressing their ideas about our history and civic questions. This year’s topics are:\n– According to Merle Haggard’s 1971 song Okie from Muskogee\, “we still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse.” Is the flag as important a symbol in American life today as it was in generations past? How do your ideas about the flag differ from your parents’ or grandparents’ generation?\n– How are you committed to making America\, and in particular Muskogee\, a better place? What things have you done to ensure the future of our city and country remains not just strong\, but also just and equitable\, supporting the ideals on which our country was founded?\n– What does it mean to “be an American”? Should civics be taught in school again as a stand-alone class? It has been proposed that everyone pass a citizenship test to vote. Is this a good idea?\n– Our neighborhood\, Founders’ Place\, was carved out of the allotment given to Chief Pleasant Porter under the Dawes Act. How do you see tribal sovereignty and the common public good coming together in Oklahoma or our country? How could we in Founders’ Place acknowledge the Native lands our homes are built on\, or should we? Did any well-known Native Americans live in our neighborhood? How could they be honored?\n– Is democracy more about individual rights and freedoms or the collective good? Should the rights of the individual supersede those of society? Is it possible to balance both\, so that singular individual freedoms do not overpower the democracy of the whole? Give examples. \nPrizes are given for the best essay submissions. The contest runs parallel with our neighborhood home decorating contest from Juneteenth to July 4th.

SUMMARY:Women at Work Digital Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Women have been working side by side with each other and with men – fathers\, brothers\, partners\, husbands\, sons – throughout human existence. The theme “women at work” should therefore cover millennia. Being not so ambitious\, this exhibit seeks to illuminate women’s professional roles in only a snippet of American history: the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

SUMMARY:RECLAMATION
DESCRIPTION:The National Museum of Women in the Arts (NMWA) presents RECLAMATION: Recipes\, Remedies\, and Rituals\, a new participatory exhibition featuring nine interdisciplinary artists. Conceived as a virtual experience that recontextualizes the traditional role of women in providing sustenance and healing\, RECLAMATION also features content submitted by the public\, interwoven with the artists’ work. \nRECLAMATION is an evolving exhibition and ingredient archive that examines food as a creative medium for visual art and a connective tool for exploring intergenerational and intercultural experiences. \nThe exhibition centers around a kitchen table\, the central domestic object for gatherings of family and friends. Nine artists will activate their own kitchen tables\, sharing photographs\, videos and stories about how they use this domestic object. These intimate glimpses into the artists’ homes simultaneously reveal a work of art and the process by which it is made. \nThrough a digital ingredient archive\, developed in partnership with the Family Arts Museum and Ten-Fifteen Media\, online visitors can participate in the exhibition by sharing recipes\, anecdotes\, photos and reflections related to food. Submissions will be layered with the artists’ work\, creating a dynamic portal for exploring the interconnectedness of food and the communal nature of nourishing and curing the body. In this way\, both artists and viewers will use those materials to honor women’s roles in the practices and traditions surrounding food. \nThe exhibition also features interviews and content from the Curative Collective\, a group of partners that focus on food—from advocacy and social justice work\, to healing and restorative self-care. These organizations help ensure that the exhibition reflects and serves their communities while sharing their arts and social change resources with NMWA’s audience. Examples of Curative Collective organizations are Black Magick Sisters\, Dreaming Out Loud\, Mutual Aid Apothecary\, and STRŌB Apothecary\, among others.

SUMMARY:Revolutionary Questions
DESCRIPTION:Viewed through a wider lens\, declaring independence involved more than a single document and a single historical moment. Before July 1776\, numerous local organizations had urged the Congress to embrace independence. And it was not just “Founding Fathers” but also a broader population whose actions gave the Declaration meaning. A broad-based Founding Generation—ordinary free men\, women held subordinate by law\, enslaved African Americans\, and others—brought their own ideas of liberty to the Revolutionary moment. \nLater generations\, too\, would struggle over Revolutionary issues\, some seeking to fulfill the Declaration’s proclaimed ideals and others promoting vested interests seeking to bypass popular consent. Given the many limits of the nation that the Revolution established\, can the Declaration still be a source of commitment and identity for Americans today? \nExplore these “Revolutionary Questions” to start a conversation in your community!
