Gallery Walk: A Closer Look with Indigo Arts Alliance

Daniel Minter (born 1961)A Distant Holla: Deep Inside Us, 2021Mixed media wood construction49 x 42 1/4 x 7 inchesMuseum purchase, supported by Ann and Dick Costello, 2022.3© Daniel MinterA series of monthly walks, each focusing on select themes or sections within the exhibition MAINE: A Force Within American Art (1890–2026). Join Indigo Arts Alliance Executive Director Jordia Benjamin and Studio and Programs Manager Ashley Page for a curatorial walk through of Maine: A Force within American Art (1890–2026). Having served as curatorial advisors for the exhibition, Indigo Arts Alliance’s role as a Black-Led arts incubator space in Portland, ME has allowed them to keep their finger on the pulse on the creative, community and scholarly contributions of Black and Brown artists in and around the state. Through the exhibition, we simultaneously celebrate Maine’s role in shaping the visual aesthetic of what is considered “American Art” while complicating the narrative of what it looks like and those who create it. Indigo Arts Alliance’s mission of amplifying the voices and visions of Black and Brown artists, allows for a more contemporary and nuanced viewpoint into how we see Maine within the American artistic canon. The walk will last approximately 30 minutes, after which guests will have the opportunity to explore the remaining galleries independently. Jordia Benjamin has over 15+ years in the nonprofit sector, Benjamin is the dynamic Executive Director of Indigo Arts Alliance. Under her leadership she has steered the organization’s million-dollar budgets, led the team through periods of rapid growth and change, and forged lasting partnerships across disciplines and geographies. Whether building IAA’s robust residency programs for Black and Brown artists, advising museums to reimagine collections through a decolonial lens, or mentoring the next generation of cultural workers, Benjamin leads with integrity, purpose, and vision. Ashley Page is the Studio and Program Manager at Indigo Arts Alliance. She serves as a point of contact for artists and supports the development of related public programs and special projects to best connect artists and communities. In her role, she ensures the smooth operations of the studio and its administrative needs. As an interdisciplinary artist, curator and community organizer, Ashley’s creative spirit, passion for community, and dedication to the artistic growth of artists of color is interwoven into her own artistic philosophy. Drawing from the power of vulnerability, collaborative honesty, and mutual understanding, her work creates the bridges between art and people. Cost: $12 $10 for members. Includes museum admission. Please meet in the museum lobby.

Farnsworth Concert Series: Skye Consort & Emma Björling

Skye Consort & Emma Björling perform whirling polskas, groovy reels, passionate love songs and breathtaking hymns all found in or inspired by music from Scandinavia, The British Isles, French Canada and the New World. Their trans-Atlantic arrangements and original compositions spring from an extraordinary collaboration consisting of voices, fiddle, nyckelharpa, cello, bouzouki, banjo, and percussion. Each musician brings their individual passion to both traditional practices and inventive music-making. Skye Consort was formed in 1999, has performed and toured extensively, and has 8 full-length albums. In late 2018, Skye Consort, in collaboration with Emma Björling, created a new repertoire grown from Scandinavian, Québecois and Celtic roots. The recording was released on LEAF Music in May 2019 and is distributed worldwide on Naxos. Their self-titled debut album, Skye Consort & Emma Björling, won the OPUS (QC, Canada) award for best world music album 2020. The second collaborative recording between Skye Consort and Emma Björling, entitled Ode & Ballade, features Emma Björling (lead voice, percussion), Seán Dagher (lead voice, Irish bouzouki, banjo), Amanda Keesmaat (cello, voice), Simon Alexandre (nyckelharpa, violin, voice), and Alex Kehler (nyckelharpa, violin, voice) on the album, also composing and arranging. The musicians sing in three languages (Swedish, French, English), and the words “ode” and “ballade” resonate with meaning in all three: poem, song, tale, sonnet, folly, chant, and dance. The music of this album combines elements from world music and classical traditions to offer audiences thoughtful arrangements and creative compositions: a Swedish Polska accompanied by Québec foot percussion and 18th-century Scottish-style chords, a French song with Norwegian-sounding interludes between the verses, a Purcell/Playford-style dance tune with Swedish texts and accompanied on the banjo. About half of the repertoire is original compositions by the members of Skye Consort & Emma Björling and all are original arrangements for this formation. The touring configuration of the band presents 4 musicians from the Ode & Ballade recording, Sean Dagher, Emma Björling, Amanda Keesmaat and Alex Kehler (on nyckelharpa, fiddle, and voice). The genre, dubbed “trans-Atlantic Chamber Folk” by Lyra Magazine (Sweden), creates a sound that is unique among folk artists and classical chamber ensembles. Through the group’s love of different folk traditions and baroque styles, they uncover and present many haunting texts and sonic elements from different worlds that take audiences on an unforgettable journey. Emma Björling (lead voice, shruti box, percussion)Emma is an award-winning Swedish singer, composer, arranger, active in the renowned Scandinavian bands Kongero and Lyy. Both bands have toured the world, and are busy in the European folk-trad scene. Emma regularly teaches and conducts workshops all over the world. Amanda Keesmaat (cello, vocals)Principal cellist of Arion Baroque orchestra and director of Space Time Continuo, Amanda has performed as principal cello with Early Music groups across Canada, including Tafelmusik, Les Violon du Roy and The Pacific Baroque Orchestra. Amanda Keesmaat, has also performed with La Nef, Les Charbonniers de L’Enfer, OktoEcho, Jean-François Bélanger, Constantinople and Projet ClaireObscur. Seán Dagher (cittern/bouzouki, banjo & vocals)Seán is the artistic director of La Nef and an active performer, arranger, and composer of music from various folk and classical music traditions. He won the OPUS “Creation of the Year” award in 2014 for Sea Songs and has been nominated for numerous Adisq awards. He is renowned for his sea shanties with Ubisoft video games, Assassin’s Creed and Black Flag. He is also host of the popular YouTube Series, Shanty of the Week, and has toured Europe, Ireland, Canada, and the US with UK group, The Longest Johns. Alex Kehler (fiddle, nyckelharpa, vocals)In addition to his work with Skye Consort, he is a member of La Nef, Kehler Williams duo, Triton and plays regularly with Andrew Wells-Oberegger. Alex has extensive experience teaching nyckelharpa and fiddle at music camps, leading workshops and playing for Contra-dance, Balfolk, and Quebecois dance. He has toured across North America and to Europe with his various projects. He also is earning a reputation as a session recording artist for video game composers such as Ubisoft’s For Honor and movie soundtracks. As a result of this work he teaches in the composition department at l’Université de Sherbrooke in their programme ‘Musique à l’image’ for up and coming young composers.
