INTEMPO will develop a K-5 humanities curriculum that aligns with our culturally responsive music curriculum and specially orchestrated repertoire and supports grade-level state standards. Intersecting with the music of South and Central America, the curriculum will help students make meaning across places and cultures by connecting different informational sources and will provide public school teachers with innovative new content that will foster continual learning opportunities for students.

Our project will comprise a keynote address by Aaron Dworkin, a national leader on DEI in the arts; three public conversations; and closing remarks by Lila Downs, a Mexican singer-songwriter. It will be free and take place on Zoom. The project will create a space for nonprofit administrators, philanthropic-sector members, business leaders, artists, cultural and humanities practitioners, educators, youth, and community members to discuss the work being done to create a more equitable Connecticut.

CT Humanities and the Connecticut Office of the Arts partnered to offer relief funding to cultural organizations that continued to provide arts and humanities programs and services while facing financial hardship resulting from COVID-19. These organizations demonstrated their commitment to advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work in their mission and operations, and commitment to the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) community. These grants were funded by a grant from the Connecticut Health and Educational Facilities Authority (CHEFA).

Funding brings this hour-long program featuring a half-hour documentary, Compadre Huashayo, produced by PBS with Latin Grammy composer Gabriela Frank and multi Emmy-winning videographer, Aric Hartvig to Connecticut audiences this fall. The film features insights into South American, Indigenous, and Afro-Ecuadorian music as a unifying force for cultural identity and social justice. Post-screening, participants will join a guided discussion and see live and/or virtual performances showcasing Indigenous/Andean instruments featured in the film.

The exhibition shows how acts of erasure can subvert notions of authority and rewrite history, examining relationships between the erasure of text through cross-out, redaction, and white-out and the erasure of bodies through policy, norms, and violence. Programs/outreach center marginalized individuals and communities – LGBTQ+, POC, indigenous peoples, women, people w/ disabilities. With many points of entry via the humanities, the show is profoundly relevant to today’s socio-political issues and is on view from September 2019 to January 2020.
