NeeNee Productions presents Sauti, a coming of age story about five courageous teen-aged girls who fled their home countries of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, and South Sudan when they were very young to eventually live in Uganda’s Kyangwali Refugee Settlement, which they call home to this day. “Sauti” means voice in Swahili. The young women tell their stories in their own voices; personal drawings, poems, song, dance, and handicam diary interviews filmed by the girls themselves are incorporated into professionally shot footage. With tenacity, tenderness, and imagination, the girls approach their uncertain futures to envision new lives of their own choosing.

Kay Galvan – Doha
Spinning in Samsara 2018. Oil on Canvas. 24″ x 24″
Doha is a Hindi and sometimes Buddhist form of poetry, written to describe a sensual, devotional or spiritual state. These doha are spontaneous and poetic visual responses to the contemplative experiences of my inner world.
We all contain stuff…from our basic physicality to our emotions, memories, experiences, history, trauma and beliefs.
The truth is contained.
People are contained.
And with containment often comes release…#Me Too, marches, investigations….and even Pele.

Ken Peterson The Holga Series
“Swan Lake“ 4.5” x 6” October 2017
Rachel Amos Connecting to Earth
“Continuing the Cycle” Chalk Pastel 18″ x 12″
Propelling me in most of these drawings is the discovery made public not too long ago, that trees and other plants communicate a lot of information with each other via fungi. This is really interesting for me, as it seems to show a further connection among many kinds of life; I have tried to express the depth of this in my work.
Nolan Tredway Undark
“Memory Garden“
Nolan Tredway’s Undark will feature his newest multimedia work. This exhibition explores the impermanence of the mortal and the digital infinite, invoking the meaning of memory and its subjugation versus the clarity of objective documents. Both these lives, the ones remembered and the ones observed, are part of cyclical and symbiotic process, each needing the other to stay alive, but ultimately failing. Our ability to bring meaning to mortality depends on our ability to celebrate the impermanent as part of a larger trajectory.
