I would like to apologize for not getting two submissions in the publication, due to having a press deadline that couldn’t be moved. I’m sorry!
Your exhausted but pleased editor,

Welcome back to the AIMH Community Art Festival headquarters.
On Thursday night, there were some amazing musical performances. Want some pictures? Of course you do!
Emma
givin us some bluesy love
Megan and Amy
rockin it out!
Unfortunately, I discovered that I had not appeased the technology gods and even with the help of two dedicated Antiochians (thanks Rowan and Jonny!) I couldn’t make amends for my transgressions. We could not get the projector to work no matter how hard I prayed. So, sadly, there were no video screenings.
However, that means that you- yes you- get to see Aiden Tyler Lee and Juliet Hansen’s video here first!
“A Love Story”
We made this movie, including editing, all in one night on Antioch campus. My little digital camera shot each scene only once, and we ended up with 40 clips that we organized to tell a fitting story. The two of us shot every scene except the scenes that the coat rack and fire extinguisher helped with by holding the camera. The scenes were shot on multiple floors of North and South. Parallel to our story, many first years feel like Antioch is a love that they had found, and a love that is now running from them.

Stay tuned…more art is on it’s way. As soon as I sleep.
In love and revolt,

“Antioch Is My Home” Community Art Festival
Antioch College will host a Community Art Festival around the theme “Antioch Is My Home” from April 13 through April 26. “The theme is a sentiment that is echoed across the Antioch community. I wanted to develop a positive project that would create solidarity and build the momentum of the efforts to save Antioch,” says Marjorie Jensen, a recent Antioch College graduate who is coordinating the festival.
This multi-faceted festival will include an exhibition in the Reed Gallery (in the upstairs of the Visual Arts building) that opens on April 13 and runs through April 26; video screenings and musical performances in Kelly Hall on April 17 at 8pm; dance performances in Antioch’s South Gym on April 23 at 8pm; theater performances and readings of various writing styles in the Antioch Area Theater on April 24 at 8pm. There will also be a variety of installation pieces set up around campus throughout the duration of the festival.
Art contributions featured in this festival are from all stakeholders in the Save Antioch Movement: Antioch students, staff, faculty, alumni, Yellow Springs community members, and friends of the college. The “Antioch Is My Home” project has been developed through a process that has involved members from all of these constituencies.
A few examples of the multi-generational submissions include readings by a current Antioch theater student, Zoe Julich, from a play entitled “Choice of Pastry,” written by an alumna, Robin Rice Lichtig. Alumnus Michael Casselli is planning on creating “footprints,” or visual representations, of buildings that he associates with his Antioch home that have been torn down on campus. Colette Palamar, Antioch professor
of Ecology and Director of the Herndon Gallery, is lending her painting entitled “Family” to the exhibit.
The submission deadline is April 12. Festival submissions will be documented in a printed publication that includes a CD/DVD. The submissions will also be available online. For more information about
the project, visit: http://art.saveantioch.org.
The “Antioch Is My Home” Community Art Festival is supported by the Antioch College Action Network (ACAN). ACAN is an independent collective of autonomous alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends
of Antioch College and villagers of Yellow Springs. ACAN is a grassroots movement working collaboratively for a continuous and sustainable future for Antioch College.
