Addy & Ferro Holiday Book Drive and 30% Discount Special Sale

2008-12-10T11:54:00.000-08:00

Addy & Ferro is pleased to announce our partnership with No Negative Space for our annual Holiday Book Drive. From now through January 4th 2009, for each new book customers donate to the drive from the programs required reading/reference list, a discount of 30% will be given off any item in the store. Donate two books to the drive and receive a discount of 30% on two items, etc. There is no limit to the number of discounted items you receive other than your generosity in the number of books you donate.

No Negative Space is an opportunity to re-envision the world and it’s potential. No Negative Space: The Woman’s Project – an experimental learning opportunity to empower, educate and support economically impoverished women of the African Diaspora in Brooklyn between the ages of 18 and 30 to lead healthy, happy and free successful lives and transform their communities into healthy free and safe environments.

Cohorts comprised of 10-15 women will begin with an introductory 10-week “Dream Your Best Life” program to learn critical thinking skills, build an integrated support system, and develop individual five-year life plans. Women will gather in the spirit of collective work to identify their potential, live their passion and create innovative personal and community goals and solutions to live their highest good.

The initial 10-week program will introduce the following topics:

(1) Identifying and Contextualizing Self
(2) Sisterhood 101
(3) Understanding Power
(4) Healthy Relationships
(5) Financial Literacy and Management
(6) Community Building
(7) Institution Building and Management
(8) Physical Health and Wellness
(9) Mental Health and Wellness
(10)Defining Aesthetics

The concepts explored and skills developed in the first 10 weeks will provide the framework and foundation for the women to participate in building an organization that will help them to execute their life plans and serve and liberate their communities.

Please contact Melanie at Melanie.NoNegativeSpace@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like any additional information.

For the list of titles requested from the program, please refer to the Addy & Ferro wish list on Amazon.com (see direct link button at the top of this post) or refer to the list in the column on the right.

I AM A MAN
On view
September 25, 2008 - January 18th, 2009

Curated by Kevin Powell
Organized by Laurie Cumbo and Kimberli Gant

If you are interested in participating in the photographic recreation of the I AM A MAN March, please arrive at MoCADA at 5:30 PM.

The Opening Reception for the I AM A MAN exhibition will begin with a gathering of Black Men from all over New York City who will pay homage to the courageous men who stood strong holding their I AM A MAN protest signs in 1968 by wearing a contemporary t-shirt version of that sign designed by artist Derrick Adams outside of MoCADA prior to the opening reception. This historic moment will be recorded by photographic icon Chester Higgins, Jr. MoCADA is inviting all men who wish to participate to arrive at MoCADA at 5:30pm.

The photo is limited to the first 200 men that arrive at MoCADA.

... About the I AM A MAN exhibition

The Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts (MoCADA) is proud to present the timely and provocative exhibition I AM A MAN. February 1968 saw 1,300 African American Sanitation workers strike to demand their basic rights to organize a union, to gain a living wage, and to garner respect and dignity deserving of all working men and women. The Civil Rights Leader, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., eventually came to Memphis to support the strikers and was subsequently assassinated. From those dramatic events, one phrase emerged that continues to inspire community activists forty years later, "I AM A MAN."

With this theme, twelve artists have been selected to create new work that immortalizes the 1968 workers strike as well as a reflection of their interpretation of what it means to be an African American man in America in 2008, forty years after the sanitation workers strike and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. This group exhibition includes a dynamic combination of painters, photographers, film makers and video artists:

Hank Willis Thomas, Russell Frederick, Rah Crawford, Radcliff Bailey, Charly Palmer, Leroy Henderson, Fahamu Pecou, Jefferson Pinder, Jamel Shabazz, Lorenzo Steele, Jr., Juan Sanchez and Ernest Withers.
