SUMMARY:Ten Years of "Celebrating Resilience: Music by Iranian Bahá'ís"
DESCRIPTION:Highlighting persecution under Iran’s regime and heroic resilience in its face\, Crossing Borders Music marks ten years of sharing the music and stories of Bahá’í composers from Iran with this unique program. As part of Iran’s systematic persecution of members of the Bahá’í religion\, Bahá’ís are banned from attending college or university. In response\, Iranian Bahá’ís and their supporters founded the Bahá’í Institute for Higher Education\, a grassroots school that holds classes in living rooms. At this school\, despite government raids and faculty imprisonment and disappearance\, these brave musicians learned and taught music\, and continue to share from afar! This concert shares their inspiring stories and music.\nOver the past decade\, composer Badie Khaleghian wrote the piece “Hope” for Crossing Borders Music\, and composer Farid Javidan wrote the piece “Hamun.” Crossing Borders Music musicians Marianne Parker\, piano; Jennifer Leckie\, violin; and Tom Clowes\, cello will share these pieces of music\, as well as “When the Roses Laugh in Full-Blown Beauty” by Parisa Sabet\, Nikan Milani’s Piano Trio\, and Safa Shahidi’s “Persian Dreams\,” specially arranged for Crossing Borders Music by Safa.\nThis program is made possible thanks to the Skokie Library\, and through support from the Paul M Angell Family Foundation\, the Chicago Department of  Cultural Affairs and Special Events\, and The MacArthur Funds for Culture\, Equity\, and the Arts at the Richard H. Driehaus Foundation. Crossing Borders Music acknowledges support from the Illinois Arts Council Agency.

SUMMARY:We Walk: A Celebration of Black Community
DESCRIPTION:For this project\, HAMOC brings its traveling exhibition\, We Walk: A Celebration of Black Community back to Mandrake Park in the Bronzeville area for a second year in order to continue providing Haitian\, Black and Diasporic art\, culture\, history and music to the residents of the area. To expand the exhibition’s impact and reach within the community\, HAMOC will add 2 live arts performances\, including painting and music by Crossing Borders Music\, a long time collaborator whose program “Looking Back and Looking Forward” will include a string quartet playing music by Black composers\, including a newly commissioned arrangement of music by Thomas “Blind Tom” Wiggins\, arranged for Crossing Borders Music by AJ Isaacson-Zvidzwa.\n\n\nWe Walk: A Celebration of Black Community\, was originally organized in 2020\, in the Uptown neighborhood\, in direct response to the Black Lives Matter protests and the disproportionate effect of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Black community. The exhibition was made up of 19 small thematic exhibits\, anchored by trees\, created by a diverse\, multi-racial group of artists\, performers\, educators\, and contributors from across Chicago. The primary collaborators came from the African-American and Black Diasporic communities\, including BILPOC (Black\, Indigenous\, Latinx\, People of Color) led organizations\, immigrant groups\, small business owners\, local historians\, cultural experts\, artists and activists. The exhibition was an empowering cultural outlet that highlighted positive Black contributions. The success of this 2020 event led to HAMOC transforming “We Walk” into a traveling exhibition.\n\nCrossing Borders Music performance begins at 2:00pm.\n\nThis event is FREE and open to the public.
