SUMMARY:Negra\, negra\, negra soy
DESCRIPTION:Come witness as Black women share their words\, stories\, and creative talents to show the diversity of Blackness. Negra\, negra\, negra soy (“Black\, Black\, I am a Black woman”) is a community performance created by the afrofeminist arts collective\, Kukily\, that creates interdisciplinary work in performance\, installation\, audiovisual and community-based projects. The US premiere of this project (first conducted in Argentina) is being directed by Connecticut artist and co-founder of Kukily\, Colleen Ndemeh Fitzgerald. \nColleen shares\, “The creative process of ‘Negra\, negra\, negra soy’ creates space for participants to get to know each other\, for the audience to get to know them\, and for bridges to be constructed between individuals and communities. I also think this project is very important now because people of African descent have been disproportionately affected by the ongoing pandemic. Creating art together is healing\, especially art that uplifts the voices of Black women and folks of diverse gender expressions.” \nKukily emphasizes choosing performer-collaborators of different ages\, nationalities\, ethnic backgrounds\, skin tones\, languages\, hair textures\, professions\, religions\, generating essential conversations around who we are and how we create networks of solidarity within our communities. \nThe event will take place on August 20th at Kamora’s Cultural Corner at 75 Sterling St.\, Hartford\, CT. The event will include the Black Art Heals Bazaar with local vendors starting at 4pm\, and the performance will begin by 5pm. The CMCH is proud to be a fiscal sponsor for this event.

SUMMARY:The Future of Kids' Mental Health: What Caregivers Need to Know!
DESCRIPTION:Children’s mental health is on everyone’s mind. Access to services continues to be a barrier for families. This year\, the Connecticut General Assembly passed three bills aimed at improving children’s access to mental health services. What does this mean for you? The CMCH invites parents and caregivers to attend an online\, free information session about kids’ mental health. An expert panel will help parents and caregivers gain a better understanding of the range of emotional and mental health issues facing all of our children with a special emphasis on under-served populations. This presentation will outline what is in the new legislation and how it will affect services offered at schools\, hospitals\, community-based programs and in your pediatrician’s office. Families\, educators\, and health practitioners are encouraged to attend what we will be an informative and interactive evening. \nThis event is free and open to the public! Register here to receive the Zoom link.  \nThe program will also be recorded and available on our YouTube page by September 12. \nOur Panelists will include: \nDr. Melissa Santos\, Chief of Pediatric Psychology- Connecticut Children’s \nDr. Rob Keder\, Developmental Pediatrician-Connecticut Children’s \nDr. J. Craig Allen\, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist- VP of Addiction Services\, Behavioral Health Network Hartford Health Care \nAllison Matthews-Wilson\, LCSW\, Director\, Center for Care Coordination \nHoward Sovronsky\, LCSW\, Chief Behavioral Health Officer- Connecticut Children’s.

Embodying a living and growing gospel tradition that spans locations from the church to the stage\, The Spiritual Souls maintain a close connection to the faith that animates and inspires them. \nThe Spiritual Souls have received numerous awards for their music\, including their induction in 2012 to the Holla-Back Gospel Awards’ Hall of Fame. They also have received an Official Citation from the State of Connecticut in 1998 and the key to the City of Waterbury in 2011 for their ongoing local musical contributions\, which includes community outreach in form of the Gospel Expo in Waterbury\, an outdoor festival that the group has run together with the Refuge Church of Christ since 1997. \nOur Summer Concert Series is funded through the support of the Evelyn W. Preston Memorial Fund\, Bank of America\, N.A.\, Trustee; the Connecticut Office of the Arts/DECD; and the National Endowment for the Arts.

SUMMARY:**Canceled** Lunch and Learn: The Neurocolorline -- Locating Black Autism and Black Neurodivergence in the Archives
DESCRIPTION:We’re sorry\, this event has been canceled.  \nPlease join us for a virtual discussion by Dr. Diana Paulin.  The title of this talk borrows from W.E.B.’s 1903 scholarly study in which he contends that “the problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color line- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa\, in America and the islands of the sea” (The Souls of Black Folk). This powerful image of a racialized line that separates communities and nations still resonates in the twenty-first century. However\, the colorline is shaped by other factors\, such as class and religion.   \nDr. Paulin will talk about how the history of anti-black racism and ableism in the U.S. erases both the past and contemporary experiences of Black neurodivergence. In fact\, much of the archival work is detective work\, reading between the lines\, searching in unlikely collections\, and identifying gaps in historical\, medical\, and cultural narratives because of the historical devaluation of Black well-being and humanity during enslavement and beyond. In the process of locating historic and contemporary instances of Black neurodivergence\, Dr. Paulin contributes to the efforts to learn from\, better understand\, and include the contributions\, survival strategies\, challenges experienced not only by Black people but also by all neurodivergent people in our neurodiverse past and present world.  \nThis virtual program is free. To secure a spot\, click here to register now. You will receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link attached\, and we will send you a reminder on the day of the program.   \n Questions? Contact Jennifer Busa\, Public Programs and Special Events Coordinator\, at jennifer_busa@chs.org.  \n About the Speaker  \nDiana R. Paulin is Associate Professor of American Studies and English\, and affiliate faculty in Women\, Gender\, and Sexuality Studies at Trinity College\, Connecticut. She co-directs Trinity’s Global Health Humanities Gateway Program and coordinates the African American Studies minor. Dr. Paulin has published\, taught\, and presented extensively on Black autism. She was a speaker at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s “Crip the Met” series. She is currently working on a book project (Autistic Blackness)\, and on collaborative interactive digital archive (Locating Blackness).

SUMMARY:Woodward Distinguished Lecture Series: Sebastian Junger
DESCRIPTION:The CMCH is pleased to welcome Sebastian Junger\, Award-Winning Journalist\, Director\, and Best-Selling Author of The Perfect Storm & TRIBE\, to deliver this year’s Charles Guilford Woodward Lecture. \nJunger is the internationally acclaimed\, best-selling author of WAR\, The Perfect Storm\, A Death in Belmont and Fire. He is also the acclaimed director of the documentary films Restrepo and Korengal. As a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and as a contributor to ABC News\, he has covered major international news stories and has been awarded the National Magazine Award and a SAIS Novartis Prize for Journalism. \nJunger will discuss his most recent works\, including TRIBE and Freedom. Tribe: On Homecoming and Belonging\, takes readers on an investigation of the experiences of veterans and proposes that a major cause of pain is not being at war but coming home. We all have a strong instinct to belong to small groups defined by clear purpose and understanding -“tribes.” In TRIBE\, Junger demonstrates how this tribal connection has been largely lost in modern society. He examines PTSD as a side effect of soldiers leaving the close bonds they’ve formed in their military platoons and returning to a disconnected modern society and argues that regaining a sense of closeness may be the key to our psychological survival. His most recent book\, Freedom\, examines a tension that lies at the heart of what it means to be human: the conflict between community and freedom. \nDoors open at 5:45 PM. Come early to view CMCH’s exhibition\, Common Struggle\, Individual Experience: An Exhibition About Mental Health. \nCopies of Junger’s books will be on sale during the event courtesy of River Bend Bookshop. He will be available for book signing after the event. Light refreshments will be provided. \nThis event is free for CMCH members and $15 for non-members. Reserve your tickets now! \nQuestions? Contact Adult Programs Manager Natalie Belanger via email at natalie_belanger@chs.org\, or call (860) 236-5621 x289. \nImage credit: Sebastian Junger © David Beyda
