SUMMARY:Greenlawn Cemetery Documentary Trailer Screening and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Attend a free trailer screening & panel discussion of the Greenlawn Cemetery documentary with Indy Dept. of Public Works & Studio Auteur \nThe Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW)\, in collaboration with local filmmakers Studio Auteur\, an Indianapolis based content creation company\, is releasing the official trailer for an upcoming documentary chronicling the historic Greenlawn Cemetery excavation conducted as part of the Henry Street Bridge Project. \nThe documentary captures one of Indianapolis’ most significant archaeological undertakings to date\, documenting the excavation\, research\, and interpretation of early city residents buried across two of the four historic cemeteries collectively known as Greenlawn Cemetery. As infrastructure improvements advance along the river corridor\, archaeological teams have worked meticulously to recover and interpret the stories of individuals whose histories form the foundation of the city’s early development. \nProduced and directed by filmmaker Jerald Harkness of Studio Auteur\, the project offers an intimate look into the unfolding discoveries\, the scientific and ethical considerations guiding the excavation\, and the collaborative efforts of archaeologists\, City of Indianapolis employees\, and Community Advisory Group members. The trailer provides the public with its first glimpse into the narrative arc of the film\, which aims to illuminate the lived experiences of early Indianapolis communities and the long-overlooked histories represented within Greenlawn Cemetery. \nIndy DPW is hosting two public programs which will feature a screening of the documentary trailer followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker\, archaeologists who directed the excavation\, and representatives from the Community Advisory Group. These programs invite the community to engage directly with the film\, ask questions\, and reflect on how this work contributes to a more complete understanding of Indianapolis’ past. \nThe full documentary release date has not yet been finalized\, as analysis of the recovered remains and artifacts is ongoing. Indy DPW anticipates completion after research and analysis phases are concluded to ensure the film presents a responsible and complete account of the excavation’s findings. \nFollow the project website for additional announcements regarding the project and documentary: https://wridinfrastructure.com. \nRegister

In his current artistic pivot\, he has taken on metalsmithing with an intense drive to be the best he’s capable of despite such a late start in the arts. His journey has trekked through a successful\, award winning music career\, a prolific two year excursion into acrylic painting\, an intro to the Native American markets world through his beautifully crafted cradleboards\, and his current obsession with jewelry making – a true artist that never understood it until the last five years! \nIn 2018\, JJ Otero was accepted into the prestigious Heard Museum Art Market in Phoenix\, AZ as well as the SEEDS Art Market and Santa Fe Indian Market in Santa Fe\, NM. JJ’s philosophy guides all things in his life: This moment is perfect and there’s nothing lacking. With this deep abiding fire\, JJ’s unique stamping and texturing styles coupled with a relentless drive to be a well-known metalsmith is making his metalwork and personality stand out while he navigates an unexpected passion discovered in his ever-growing art career.

SUMMARY:Leon Jett Memorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this year’s Leon Jett Memorial Lecture\, honoring the legacy of Leon Jett\, the Eiteljorg Museum’s public programs manager from 1999 to 2007. Leon’s passion for inclusive programming ensured that every visitor to the museum could see themselves reflected in its art\, exhibitions\, and events. This annual lecture continues his mission by spotlighting the often-overlooked stories of historical and contemporary African Americans in the West. \nThis year\, we are thrilled to welcome Dr. Timothy E. Nelson\, a historian\, author\, professor\, and artist. Providing the most in-depth research on Blackdom to date\, he reframes the history\, focusing on the economic and social ambitions of Afro-Frontierists (Black pioneers). Dr. Nelson is digitally applying his theory of colonization within the digital frontier through various art forms\, including academic books\, trade books\, screenplays\, painting\, photography\, and videography. https://afrofrontier.com/ \nMany believed that Blackdom was simply abandoned. However\, new evidence shows that the scheme to build generational wealth continued to exist throughout the twentieth century in other forms. During Blackdom’s boomtimes\, in December 1919\, Blackdom Oil Company shifted town business from a regenerative agricultural community to a more extractive model. Nelson has uncovered new primary source materials that suggest for Blackdom a newly discovered third decade. This story has never been fully told or contextualized until now. \nReoriented to Mexico’s “northern frontier\,” one observes Black ministers\, Black military personnel\, and Black freemasons who colonized as part of the transmogrification of Indigenous spaces into the American West. Nelson’s concept of the Afro-Frontier evokes a “Turnerian West\,” but it is also fruitfully understood as a Weberian “Borderland.” Its history highlights a brief period and space that nurtured Black cowboy culture. While Blackdom’s civic presence was not lengthy\, its significance—and that of the Afro-Frontier—is an important window in the history of Afrotopias\, Black Consciousness\, and the notion of an American West. \nA book signing will immediately follow the talk and this discussion is included with the price of admission. All Indiana college\, university and trade school students receive FREE admission with their school ID. \nRSVP
