Insight Arts is a contemporary arts organization dedicated to increasing access to cultural work that supports progressive social change. Our unique organizational model allows us to engage in community based, regional and national work. We organize our work around three core values:

1. Access to information, education and art is a basic human right.

2. Meaningful social change is dependent on the creation of cooperative social and political structures.

3. Time for contemplation and analysis is crucial to community and individual empowerment.

These values have facilitated the development of an organization with three main areas of cultural work:

a. offering free arts education classes to youth and adults,

b. presenting regular performances, exhibitions and other special events related to our core values and

c. providing rehearsal space and administrative support for a wide variety of performance collectives and artist projects.

BEA RODRIGUEZ & EMILY BIENEK

Insight Arts presents Women Out Loud! an open mic for women and women-identified writers/poets/performers that happens every fourth Friday of the month, 7-9 pm at the Center for New Possibilities on 1545 W. Morse. Women Out Loud! is a venue where women can spit fiery words in a nurturing space, and men are welcome to applaud and cheer.

On May 22 Women Out Loud! features Bea Rodriguez & Emily Bienek. Born and raised in the Philippines, Bea now lives in Chitown, where she is celebrating her Saturn Return and looking forward to the summer. Her poetry (English and Tagalog) and short stories have been published in Manila. Pronouncing, her first script, won WILDsound Film's First One-Page Screenplay Contest in the US.

Emily Bienek is an artist currently working on raising public awareness about the HIV/AIDS crisis in South Africa through Ubuntu Designs. The term "Ubuntu" means "I am me because you are you" in Xhosa, one of the most commonly-spoken languages in South Africa. It is one of the many Xhosa words for "community." Emily will be facilitating workshops to design stencil designs for Ubuntu apparel while providing understanding about the HIV/AIDS crisis in South Africa. Works will be showcased at Women Out Loud!

Come and share your words, and/or just take a break from the week’s work woes and listen to fabulous women writers/performers read/do spoken word/sing. Open mic starts at 7 pm and is followed by the featured writer. $5 suggested donation, $3 for open mic participants.

The CENTER FOR NEW POSSIBILITIES located at 1505 W Morse Avenue, is a space coordinated by Insight Arts, a contemporary arts organization dedicated to increasing access to cultural work that supports progressive social change. Our unique organizational model allows us to engage in community based, regional and national work.
