Black preschool educators fired because of race: suit

The five plaintiffs, all women who worked as teachers or teaching assistants at the Children's Learning Center in Morningside Heights, lost their jobs between 2010 and this year after the school brought in a new head administrator, the lawsuit says. The suit also alleges that the school created a 'hostile environment' and replaced the fired educators with white instructors.

The Studio Museum in Harlem is proud to announce the Fall/Winter 2013–14 season, featuring The Shadows Took Shape, Radical Presence: Black Performance in Contemporary Art and Harlem Postcards Fall/Winter 2013–14: Elia Alba, Malik Gaines, Zoe Leonard, Julie Quon, all on view November 14, 2013 to March 9, 2014.

The Shadows Took Shape will be one of the few major museum exhibitions to explore the ways in which this form of creative expression has been adopted internationally and highlight the range of work made over the past twenty-five years.

1pm: Gallery Tour: Robert Pruitt: Women
Enjoy an interactive and informative tour of Robert Pruitt: Women led by a knowledgeable museum educator. Robert Pruitt: Women includes nearly twenty large-scale conté drawings of black women. Combining elements of science fiction, hip-hop culture and comic-book graphics, each figure is at once politically charged, physically grounded and fantastic—a blend of willful self-determination and culturally conditioned myth.

2pm: Hands On: Faces and Masks
Take a look at the portrait drawings in Robert Pruitt: Women, and then join this workshop to create portraits using images of faces and masks, inspired by traditional and contemporary concepts of African masks and black culture.

1pm: Gallery Tour: Things in Themselves: Artists in Residence 2012-13
Enjoy an interactive and informative tour of Things in Themselves: Artists in Residence 2012-13, led by a knowledgeable museum educator. Things in Themselves presents the work of Steffani Jemison (b. 1981), Jennifer Packer (b. 1984) and Cullen Washington Jr. (b. 1972), the 2012–13 artists in residence at The Studio Museum in Harlem. Whether exploring fragile and delicate materials, developing a deeper understanding of painting or intuitively networking found materials and objects, the artists share a deep investment in the processes and techniques of making art.

2pm: Hands On: Art-making with The Laundromat Project
Join us for this special collaboration with The Laundromat Project, a community-based non-profit arts organization committed to making art more accessible. Work with a teaching artist to create a work of art inspired by the exhibitions on view in the Studio Museum's galleries.

Trunk Show Season is upon us!

Please join us at the Museum Store as we launch our Trunk Show Season during October and November. The Museum Store will showcase the wares of nine artists and designers just in time for the holidays: Yumnah Najah Designs, Pashata's Cultural Designs, Montgomery, Afrodesiac World Wide, Rox Jewelry, Metal Fabulous, fiber artist Ife Felix, Black Buttafly Jewelry and Patricia Warrington.

The first round of Trunk Show shopping hours will be held Oct 11, 2013 - Oct 13, 2013 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM.

Pashata's Cultural Designs was established in 2003 by Patricia Smith, a licensed cosmetologist and cosmetology professor. Smith's earrings are handcrafted crochet and semi-precious stone creations with an Afrocentric influence, designed for women with a sense of spiritual and cultural awareness.

After graduating from high school in 2010, seventeen-year-old Yumnah Najah spent the summer developing a line of jewelry that would fuse her love of both painting and bold, bright accessories. The jewelry line's signature is bold yet soft eye-grabbing pieces inspired by feminine prints and patterns. Her aim is to inspire the everyday woman to add a splash of spunkiness to her beauty routine.

"TEY"

Alain Gomis, Senegal, 2012, 86m

Today is the last day of Satché's life. He knows this to be true even though he is strong and healthy. Nonetheless Satché (played by American actor-musician Saül Williams) accepts his imminent death. Walking through the streets of his home town in Senegal he takes in the sites of his past as if he were looking at them for the last time: his parents' house, his first love, the friends of his youth, his wife and children. Time and again he hears the same reproach: why didn't he stay in America, where he would have a future? Satché encounters his final moments full of fear but also with a sense of joy. In his film, director Alain Gomis takes a well-worn topic in Senegalese cinema and turns it on its head: unlike other films, many of which choose to focus on emigration and neo-colonialism, Gomis' work instead tells the story of a man who leaves America to return to the land of his birth. [Synopsis courtesy of Berlin International Film Festival]
