Flaten Art Museum Exhibit: UPRISING IX
2026-02-13 - 2026-02-27 | Center for Art and Dance Flaten Museum
All are welcome to visit UPRISING IX, an exhibition at Flaten Art Museum that uplifts Black expression at St. Olaf through the visual and performing arts. Student-organized since its founding in 2018, this year’s exhibition is curated by Yorkabiel Desta ’28, Samuel Antwi ’26, Ariel Edwards ’26, Juliana Kidde ’26, Fimidara Olufade ’28, and Ashley Kundai Njanike ’28.

Let's Talk: Collection Conversations
2026-02-13 - 2026-04-12 | Center for Art and Dance Flaten Museum
All are welcome to visit Let’s Talk: Collection Conversations, an exhibition that emerges from a semester-long collaboration between students in Making Museums Matter (ARTH 282) and the Flaten Art Museum. At its core is a deceptively simple question: What happens when a museum is treated as a place for conversations rather than conclusions?
The exhibition highlights five new acquisitions that serve as catalysts for inquiry rather than fixed narratives. Building from these works, students developed themes that invite dialogue, contrast, and curiosity. The adjacent “living room” space offers room for personal reflection. Let’s Talk: Collection Conversations welcomes visitors into a museum shaped by shared conversations where meaning is sparked by both dialogue and observation.

Opening Reception for Let's Talk: Collection Conversations
2026-02-13 17:00 - 19:00 | Center for Art and Dance Flaten Museum
All are welcome to join the Flaten Art Museum from 5-7 p.m. in celebrating the opening of their collaborative show with Making Museums Matter (ARTH 282).

Dance For EveryBody with Urban Bush Women
2026-02-17 15:45 - 16:45 | Buntrock Commons Lion’s Pause
All students, faculty, staff, and community members are welcome to attend Dance for Every Body, a movement jam/dance class that embraces the idea that each individual has a unique and powerful contribution to make, and that our bodies are a powerful source of agency. The goal is for “every body” to find their level of challenge and comfort and partake according to their abilities, and to appreciate the groups’ diversity as an attribute to their community. This is a movement class designed for the community, so no prior dance experience is needed. Participants explore Urban Bush Women’s technique with close attention to breath, weight, call-and-response, and polyrhythm.
URBAN BUSH WOMEN is a groundbreaking Black women-led theatrical dance company and social activism ensemble. Founded in 1984 by visionary choreographer Jawole Willa Jo Zollar, UBW is an engine and amplifier for the stories of Black Women+. UBW combines radical performance, deep engagement, and ancestral knowledge from the African diaspora into a force that is urgent, forward-looking, and essential. UBW has defied expectations for over 40 years. The very bodies of its founding members – Black women of various shapes and sizes – changed the landscape of who could be seen on stage as a dancer. The work placed the concerns of such women center stage. UBW embraces radical storytelling to activate social change. Whether creating genre-defying work for the stage, guiding the development of Black Women+ choreographers and producers, organizing for justice through artmaking, UBW is an innovator, operating at the vanguard. www.urbanbushwomen.org

Mindful Bodies and Reflective Processes
This participatory workshop focuses on self-care, rejuvenation, and (re-) constructing healthful images of ourselves and our communities. As we move, share stories, and discuss holistic practices from food choices to daily stress relief, Urban Bush Women BOLD Facilitators offer simple tools for reinhabiting our bodies and reinforcing holism from the inside out. We also bring out and affirm the wisdom that is already in the group, fostering resource exchange and building community. The goal is to bring ourselves to balance, thereby bringing our families and communities to balance as well. No dance or fitness experience is necessary…just a body and a willingness to exhale!

Guest Lecture: Shawna Shapiro, Critical Language Awareness
2026-02-19 16:00 - 17:00
Faculty, staff, and students are welcome to attend Shawna Shapiro’s public lecture on Critical Language Awareness.
We know that there are expectations related to Standard Written English and that those expectations can privilege writers who conform to those standards and disadvantage those multilingual or multidialectal students who are in the process of acquiring fluency in SWE. Less familiar to many of us in higher ed is the field of Critical Language Awareness and the value of CLA pedagogy to act as a bridge between the pragmatic push to conform to expectations and the progressive choice to resist. CLA pedagogy encourages a “both/and” approach, intended to promote each student’s rhetorical agency.
Shawna Shapiro, author of Cultivating Critical Language Awareness in the Writing Classroom, is the leading scholar in this relatively new area of scholarship, and we are excited that she can bring to our campus ways of thinking about linguistic inclusivity, linguistic identity, and authentic storytelling, all of which are important to how we frame “belonging” at St. Olaf.

Urban Bush Women: Collab Lab Sharing and Community Conversation
2026-02-20 17:00 - 18:00 | CAD STUDIO 1
Join us for a unique glimpse into the creative process as 19 St. Olaf dance students share the culmination of their week-long intensive residency with the legendary Urban Bush Women (UBW).
Throughout the week, students have worked intimately with UBW BOLD facilitators in a Collab Lab, using dance, song, and creative writing to synthesize their collective vision for the community. This informal “sharing” will showcase the artistic products born from that collaboration, followed by a facilitator-guided conversation.

About UBW’s BOLD Programming
BOLD (Builders Organizers, and Leaders through Dance) is Urban Bush Women’s unique approach to facilitating a dialogue within an organization. They facilitate multiple workshop possibilities for a variety of groups and contexts, from dance studios to board retreats, using a unique blend of dialogue and movement. Leveraging dance as a catalyst for social change & consistently seeking the broadest range of engagement possible has led UBW to train rigorously in dialogue facilitation, analyzing racism and its manifestations in group dynamics, and in the field of brain-compatible dance education (a holistic practice rather than dance instruction as mimicry)—in addition to concert dance technique & performance.
About UBW’s Collab Lab
Urban Bush Women facilitates artistic creation based on themes that emerge from the group. With an emphasis on dance and song, they use various artistic genres, including creative writing and visual art, to process, synthesize, and communicate. Through the Collaboration Lab, participants create an artistic product reflecting both their learning and their vision for the community.

Guest Recital: Awadagin Pratt, piano
2026-03-04 19:00 - 20:30 | Christiansen Hall of Music 100 Urness Recital Hall
Through his kaleidoscopic career as a pianist, conductor, educator, and curator of memorable musical moments, Awadagin Pratt shines a light on voices of the past and present, amplifies the diverse talents of today’s brightest creative minds, and paves the way for a new generation of inventive musical artists.
Since winning the Naumburg International Piano Competition in 1992 and receiving a1994 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Pratt has received acclaim for delivering “forceful, imaginative, and precisely tinted” performances (The Washington Post) and been hailed as “one of the great and distinctive American pianists and conductors of our time” (WGBH). He has appeared at addresses as familiar as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (at the invitation of the Clinton and Obama administrations) and Sesame Street (at the invitation of Big Bird): He has performed with the Boston and Chicago Symphony Orchestras, the New York Philharmonic, and many others; in solo recitals at the Kennedy Center, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center; and in chamber music collaborations with cellist Zuill Bailey, pianist Simone Dinnerstein, and the Harlem and St. Lawrence String Quartets. His 2023 recording, Stillpoint, explores the truth and beauty in T.S. Eliot’s Four Quartets through new works by Tyshawn Sorey, Paola Prestini, Peteris Vasks, Jessie Montgomery, Jonathan Bailey Holland, Alvin Singleton, and Judd Greenstein.
He became principal conductor of the Miami Valley Symphony Orchestra in the 2023/24 season, and he has conducted the Chamber Orchestra of Pittsburgh, Georgia Symphony Orchestra (Tbilisi), and Bang on a Can at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He made his operatic debut leading Porgy and Bess with the Greensboro Opera (North Carolina).
In response to the murder of George Floyd, Pratt created a podcast that evolved into a multimedia musical experience. Performed primarily on college campuses across the U.S., Awadagin Pratt: Black in America, fuses music of Bach, Messiaen, and Liszt with still and moving pictures by filmmaker Alrick Brown and narration in which Pratt chronicles his life – from his time as a music student at the Peabody Conservatory through his ascent to international acclaim – through graphic accounts of numerous police stops and arrests he experienced for Driving While Black. In 2023, a documentary version, directed by Michelle Bauer Carpenter, was screened at film festivals nationwide.
Pratt’s commitment to the next generation of pianists is evidenced by his work as founding director of the Next Generation Festival, the Art of the Piano Foundation, and the Nina Simone Piano Competition, a new biennial competition that celebrates diversity in classical music.
He served as professor and artist in residence at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music for two decades and is now professor of piano at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.
This event is free and open to the public
