Maine Inside Out presents “Broken Clock: Film, Performance & Dialogue”
2025-03-26 18:30 - 20:30 | Emery Community Arts Center
“Broken Clock” is an original play about incarceration, gun violence, grief, family, trust, and time. Chasing your mom’s car down the street… being given your first gun… finding brotherhood in the streets… fighting for a loved one to come home from prison… These are a few of the moments from “Broken Clock” expressed through theater, poetry, music, and dance.
The play was first performed in June 2024 for the Lewiston Juneteenth Festival “The City That Carries Us: Pain Streets, and Heartbeats” and later developed in residency at Celebration Barn. The play is created by and continually developed by the performing cast with facilitation by Amanda Huotari. The play also features audio recordings of currently incarcerated MIO artists. Following the performance, the audience will be invited to dialogue with the performers about the themes of the play. Location: Emery Community Arts Center. Free, or by donation.

Art Exhibit, "Holobiont: Woodcut Prints by Amanda Lilleston"
2025-03-08 12:00 - 18:00, 2025-03-07 12:00 - 18:00, 2025-03-06 12:00 - 18:00 | Emery Community Arts Center
“Holobiont” presents a selection of woodcut prints and collages by Maine-based artist, Amanda Lilleston. A holobiont is a host organism and its associated organic community that functions as a single ecological unit. Inspired by the interconnected systems of biology and physiology, Lilleston uses woodcut printmaking as a tool to explore the mutuality between the world and the bodies it continually shapes. Through drawing, relief carving, and printing, she transforms imagery of the body and landscape into shifting and evolving compositions, investigating the idea of self and what that means in an interconnected environment. Lilleston is an Assistant professor of Art at Cooby College and has exhibited her work both nationally and internationally including the International Triennial Colour in Graphic Arts in Torún, Poland; Boston Printmakers North American Print Biennial; the Atlanta Print Biennial; the Zillman Art Museum, and upcoming participation in the DI CARTA / PAPERMADE 6th edition: International Contemporary Art Biennale at the Museo Civico Palazzo Fogazzaro in Schio, Italy.
Holobiont will be on view in Emery Community Arts Center from Jan. 30-March 8, 2025. Gallery Hours: Mon.-Sat., 12pm-6pm; closed holidays and university breaks. Location: Emery Community Arts Center.
