L@TE @BAM/PFA with Harrell Fletcher and The Forbidden Zone

Melding visual art and performance in new ways, the programs on this schedule are primarily inspired by themes explored in BAM/PFA’s fall exhibitions, including  and .

Tonight, Create gets a royal send-off with an evening of films and video projections, a moderated discussion with Create artists, a dance party DJ’d by some of the centers’ artists, and other special surprises. The night will include a screening of The Forbidden Zone, guest programmer Harrell Fletcher’s collaborative project with Chris Johanson, the late Creativity Explored artist David Jarvey, Elizabeth Meyer, and Alexis Van Hurkman, that explores Jarvey’s interest in an early Star Trek episode. Fletcher has produced a variety of socially engaged collaborative and interdisciplinary projects since the early 1990s, and his work has been shown at SFMOMA and the de Young Museum in San Francisco, among other venues. He is an associate professor of art and social practice at Portland State University in Portland, Ore.

Create features works by 20 artists who have come out of three pioneering local art centers for artists with disabilities (Creativity Explored, Creative Growth Art Center, and NAID Art Center). It's on view through Sept. 25.
