SUMMARY:PMA Films Presents: "Time"
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free outdoor screening of Garrett Bradley’s Oscar-nominated documentary Time\, presented in Congress Square Park Wednesday\, September 15 at 7 p.m. An introduction and reflections on the film presented by Maine Prisoner Advocacy Coalition begins at 6:30 p.m. \nFox Rich is a fighter. The entrepreneur\, abolitionist and mother of six boys has spent the last two decades campaigning for the release of her husband\, Rob G. Rich\, who is serving a 60-year sentence for a robbery they both committed in the early 90s in a moment of desperation. Combining the video diaries Fox has recorded for Rob over the years with intimate glimpses of her present-day life\, director Garrett Bradley paints a mesmerizing portrait of the resilience and radical love necessary to prevail over the endless separations of the country’s prison-industrial complex.

SUMMARY:Longfellow Books Presents: Book Launch of The Isolation Artist by Bob Keyes
DESCRIPTION:Join Longfellow Books at Congress Square Park for the launch of The Isolation Artist: Scandal\, Deception\, and the Last Days of Robert Indiana by Bob Keyes on Tuesday\, September 7 at 6:00pm. Keyes will be joined in conversation by Monica Wood. This is an in-person event that will be held in Congress Square Park at the intersection of Congress and High Streets. \nAbout the Book:\nWhen reclusive\, millionaire artist Robert Indiana died in 2018\, he left behind dark rumors and scandal\, as well as an estate embroiled in lawsuits and facing accusations of fraud. Here is the true story of the artist’s final days\, the aftermath\, the deceptive world that surrounded him\, and the inner workings of art as very big business. \nWith unparalleled access to the key players in Indiana’s life\, journalist and author Bob Keyes tells a fast-paced and riveting story that provides a rare inside look into the life of an artist as well as the often-unscrupulous world of high-end art. The reader is taken inside the world of art dealers\, law firms\, and an array of local characters in Maine whose lives intersected with the internationally revered artist living in an old Odd Fellows Hall on Vinalhaven Island. \nThe Isolation Artist is an extraordinary window into the life and death of a singular and contradictory American artist—one whose work touched countless millions through everything from postage stamps to political campaigns to museums—even as he lived and died in isolation\, with a lack of love\, the loss of hope\, and lots and lots of money.

SUMMARY:Portland Swing Project feat. Hadacol Bouncers
DESCRIPTION:Join Portland Swing Project for live music and swing dancing in the Square! This month\, Hadacol Bouncers will perform. Masks are strongly encouraged at these close-contact events. \nPortland Swing Project spreads the appreciation of swing music and dance through weekly classes and events for all levels of experience. We teach\, dance\, perform and provide live and DJ’d music to venues throughout Maine. Absolute beginners welcome\, no partner needed. \n“The Hadacol Bouncers formed in the summer of 2013 for a Portland\, Maine Swing Dance festival and have never looked back.  A Chicago and New Orleans-syle dance band\, they have continued their close association with the dance crowd and are always looking to play for dancers. The group is a joint effort by co-band leaders Tom Whitehead (piano) and Peter Dunphy (banjo). Tom has a multi-style background in blues\, New Orleans R&B and bebop piano. Peter has been playing New Orleans and Chicago-style jazz since he was fourteen. For the Hadacol Bouncers\, Tom and Peter handpicked some of their favorite musicians from the Portland and Portsmouth jazz scene. Like any band of this size\, there are several players who rotate in and out\, but the following are the established core.”

SUMMARY:Intentional Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Join artist\, educator\, and play facilitator Genevieve Victoria Casale Johnson for a 45 minute intentional listening practice in Congress Square Park. This collective exercise leads participants through a practice of observing and documenting the variety of sounds in the park using creative methods. Participants are encouraged to document their experience with words\, images\, textures\, and materials. Please feel free to bring along any materials you like to work with.\n\nIntentional Listening Practices are part of Sounds of Congress Square Park\, an exploratory investigation of sound in public space to encourage individual and collective mindfulness that will culminate in an archive of experiences.\n\nMore about Sounds of Congress Square Park: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, much of the public will spend this summer reintroducing themselves to public life. Stay at home orders\, quarantining\, closure of many businesses and indoor public spaces means outdoor public spaces are both in high demand and potentially threatening to certain groups of people. How and where do people reintroduce themselves to these spaces? Sounds of Congress Square park offers individuals an opportunity to re-engage in a public space slowly and deliberately. The cumulative results of this mindfulness practice will become an archive of experiences of being in the park.

SUMMARY:Intentional Listening Session
DESCRIPTION:Join artist\, educator\, and play facilitator Genevieve Victoria Casale Johnson for a 45 minute intentional listening practice in Congress Square Park. This collective exercise leads participants through a practice of observing and documenting the variety of sounds in the park using creative methods. Participants are encouraged to document their experience with words\, images\, textures\, and materials. Please feel free to bring along any materials you like to work with.\n\nIntentional Listening Practices are part of Sounds of Congress Square Park\, an exploratory investigation of sound in public space to encourage individual and collective mindfulness that will culminate in an archive of experiences.\n\nMore about Sounds of Congress Square Park: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic\, much of the public will spend this summer reintroducing themselves to public life. Stay at home orders\, quarantining\, closure of many businesses and indoor public spaces means outdoor public spaces are both in high demand and potentially threatening to certain groups of people. How and where do people reintroduce themselves to these spaces? Sounds of Congress Square park offers individuals an opportunity to re-engage in a public space slowly and deliberately. The cumulative results of this mindfulness practice will become an archive of experiences of being in the park.
