SUMMARY:Columbus African Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Columbus African Festival is a bold\, yet comprehensive approach to cultural reconversion and reconstruction within the African Diaspora in Central Ohio. It is grounded in the fact that many festivals which take place in the African communities are either singular or dual-focused (Film\, Performing Art\, Fine Art.\, etc.) \nThe Columbus African Festival as a theoretical and conceptual framework seeks to take a Renaissance approach to art and various forms of artistic expression. In this context\, art is not just art for art’s sake\, but is the creative cultural production of a people’s common history\, common lifestyles\, and their common and collective aspiration for a higher form of life and humanity. Building on the notion that 2011-2021 is the UN-sanctioned\, International Decade for People of African Descent\, the Columbus African Festival will showcase the breadth and expansiveness of African and Diasporan creative productive capacity with an emphasis on sustainability. \nFestivals are not only for entertainment but are the artistic manifestation of a people’s values\, collective personality\, cultural creativity\, and ultimately\, their aspiration and vision of a higher level of life. Thus\, in this context\, the African-centered Approach to Wholistic Medicine becomes an art form. The Columbus African Festival approach would also highlight the Africanity in Music\, Food\, Dance\, Fashion\, Language\, and even the artistry of the way we love when in harmony with our African self.

SUMMARY:Festival Latino
DESCRIPTION:Festival Latino began as a five-hour pilot project by the City of Columbus in 1996\, and after an overwhelming response\, expanded to a two-day event in 1997. The event offers lively music\, dancing in the streets\, cultural and arts workshops for children and adults\, Latin-American cuisine\, and community information tents. Over the years\, Festival Latino has continued to flourish and grow in the number of performing artists\, workshops\, vendors\, participating community groups\, and audience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen City budget cuts threatened to end the Festival in 2009\, Mayor Michael Coleman asked CAPA to take on production of the Festival. After assessing community interest and sponsor support\, CAPA agreed to produce Festival Latino and continue the popular\, annual event uninterrupted. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTo make Festival Latino more family-friendly\, CAPA changed it to a free event on Saturday and Sunday from 11am-8pm. CAPA’s first Festival Latino (in 2009) was heralded as a great success by members of the community as well as participants and sponsors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nToday\, CAPA continues to grow and expand the free\, family-focused event\, bringing even more national/international music acts\, Ohio-based Latino dance and music\, children’s activities\, and more for the community to enjoy at Festival Latino each August!

SUMMARY:Thurber House Picnic with Hanif Abdurraqib
DESCRIPTION:Growing up in Columbus\, Ohio in the 1990s\, Hanif Abdurraqib witnessed a golden era of basketball\, one in which legends like LeBron James were forged and countless others weren’t. His lifelong love of the game leads Abdurraqib into a lyrical\, historical\, and emotionally rich exploration of what it means to make it\, who we think deserves success\, the tension between excellence and expectation\, and the very notion of role models\, all of which he expertly weaves together with intimate\, personal storytelling. “Here is where I would like to tell you about the form on my father’s jump shot\,” Abdurraqib writes. “The truth\, though\, is that I saw my father shoot a basketball only one time.” \nThere’s Always This Year is a triumph\, brimming with joy\, pain\, solidarity\, comfort\, outrage\, and hope. No matter the subject of his keen focus—whether it’s basketball\, or music\, or performance—Hanif Abdurraqib’s exquisite writing is always poetry\, always profound\, and always a clarion call to radically reimagine how we think about our culture\, our country\, and ourselves. \nYou will have the opportunity to ask the speaker questions after the event\, purchase books\, and get your books signed.
