*MADSEN MINAX*

*TRANSGENDER ARTIST. MUSICIAN. FILMMAKER.*

* *

*FEB 28. 3PM-4PM ARTIST’S WORKSHOP: Arti$t In/(Out)$kirts*

*Art + Design Building | Room 107*

What does it mean to be an independent and marginalized artist in the
current flexible economy? Is it possible to sustain an art practice and pay
rent? Must we compromise personal and political convictions to survive? How
can we bridge the chasm between a theoretically resistant art practice and
the physical necessity of capital? this workshop will navigate the artists’
slippery slope of self-sustainability and capitalism from the outskirts. We
will explore the tension between DIY approaches/aesthetics of resistance
and the necessity of sustainable income as sustainable livelihood. Topics
discussed will include grant writing, skill sharing, bridging mainstream
and marginal spaces, guerilla marketing tactics, collaboration, resources
and outlets, as well as the difficulties and benefits of working within and
outside of specific communities.****

*FEB 28. 7PM-9PM FILM SCREENING OF THE YEAR I LOST MY VOICE*

*Women’s Resources Center | 703 S. Wright St. MC-302 2nd Fl. Champaign*

Set in a post-industrial ‘Neverland’ of worn down row houses, looming
factories, and desolate seashores, a rabble of disenfranchised gender and
age ambiguous youths explore their own vulnerabilities and put pressure on
what it means to grow up. Misadventures that include impromptu races,
nighttime spooning, cheating card games, attempts at hypnotism, pocket
knife haircuts, and sexual fantasies all function as means for the
characters to attempt knowing one another. Through a series of vignettes,
The Year I Broke My Voice offers an alternative perspective on coming of
age that emphasizes perpetual states of becoming over conventions of linear
development into adulthood.  *Featuring a talk-back with Director, Madsen
Minax*  Refreshments will be provided.****
