A company of three generations of African American women with hattitude and one man form the cast of Crowns, a moving and celebratory musical play. The music, a combination of African tribal music, Hip-Hop, and gospel moves the story in which hats become a springboard for an exploration of black history and identity as seen through the eyes of a young black woman who has come down South after her brother is killed in Brooklyn. Hats are everywhere and the characters use the hats to tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social functioning.

Middle East Center for the Arts (MECA) part of Mana Contemporary
MECA is the vision of Eugene Lemay, Yigal Ozeri, David Wakstein and Said Abu Shakra; as members of the international art community with roots in Israel and Palestine, the four have witnessed first-hand the social, political and economic strife encompassing this territory. With a focus on mediation and critical discourse, MECA offers a neutral ground for artists to engage in collaborative processes.
Working directly with artists and institutions from the Middle East, MECA is a unique epicenter for cultural exchange, providing a forum for the many voices that make up this beautiful, complicated region.
opening date april 1st 2012, 888 Newark ave, Jersey City, JSQ

“The Colcha Project,” curated by Doris Cacoilo and Jeanne Brasile is being presented at the Walsh Gallery. The traveling exhibition is an ongoing project that uses crochet as a catalyst for bringing people together in collaborative modes of creativity and in exploration of culture and community. In the Portuguese tradition, colcha (quilts) are crocheted for and included in a woman’s bridal chest and may be handed down through generations. “The Colcha Project” was developed by Cacoilo as a way to share this tradition with others, inviting guests to participate in the creation of new colcha while visiting the gallery. Each iteration of the project results in a new quilt, which shall be on display in subsequent exhibitions. The documentation of making each quilt also becomes part of “The Colcha Project” as each participant adds their story to its history.
Join the project!!
In addition to the colcha that have been made, a quilt in progress will be on display in the gallery and visitors will be encouraged to contribute to its making. Each Sunday between the hours of 1pm and 5pm while “The Colcha Project” is on view in the Walsh Gallery, visitors are invited to join the curators and other members of the group to crochet, share their stories and become part of the “The Colcha Project.” Yarn and needles will be provided for those who do not have their own. A potluck lunch will be served each Sunday. Participants are encourage to bring food and stitches to share. Beginners are highly encouraged to come and learn.
Opening Reception: Tuesday, March 6th – 5pm to 9pm
