SUMMARY:Illuminated Wilderness: Memory @ Littman Gallery
DESCRIPTION:LITTMAN GALLERY at Portland State University\n1825 SW Broadway #250\nPortland\, OR 97201 \n \nIlluminated Wilderness: Memory\nJanuary 8 – February 2\, 2018\nExhibition reception: Wednesday\, January 17th\, 5pm – 9pm \n\nArt & Science Panel w/NW Noggin: Wednesday\, January 31st\, 6-8pm \n \n“Has it ever struck you… that life is all memory\, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quickly you hardly catch it going?” – Eric Kandel \nKindra Crick’s multimedia exhibition explores the intersection between the ‘two cultures’ of science and art that share a common wonder at the creative possibilities which emerge from the cross-pollination of the material and natural worlds. Audiences will find themselves enveloped in\, and invited to navigate through\, an imagined wilderness of the brain within a space filled with LED-illuminated ‘neurons.’ Dendritic arms made of fabric-wrapped wire reach out to create an immersive experience of neuroplasticity. Corseted around each neuron is netted fabric that shimmers in its embrace of the memories held within each synaptic connection. This work was initiated during a NW Noggin collaboration with WSU neuroscientist Dr. John Harkness. \nReflecting on our need for sleep and attempts to capture fleeting sensory experiences is a series of memory-inspired collections and etchings created during Crick’s Jordan Schnitzer Printmaking Residency at the The Sitka Center for Art & Ecology. As a tactile extension of attempting to preserve an ephemeral experience\, she includes field journal notes\, a collection of woodland material\, and captured smells of the Oregon coastal wilderness and Salmon River estuary nearby. \nIn all her art\, Crick wishes to ignite our sense of wonder through immersion\, close examination\, and exploration. \nExhibition runs January 8 to February 2 with extended hours on February 1st and 2nd for the Portland Winter Light Festival. There will be an Art & Science Panel discussion on January 31st. \n** This exhibit was funded in part by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

SUMMARY:VELO CULT: Binyam Nardos & Teressa Raiford on Race\, Bias & Brain
DESCRIPTION:WE DID IT!!! \nPowerful and compelling night of neuroscience research\, art\, action and activism! Learn more at the link below… \nRace\, Bias & Brain: You Can’t Control Art\n \nWHAT:  Race\, Bias & the Brain with Binyam Nardos (Behavioral Neuroscience\, OHSU) & Teressa Raiford (Don’t Shoot Portland) \nWHERE:  Velo Cult\, 1969 NE 42nd Ave\, Portland\, OR 97213 \nWHEN:  Wednesday\, January 24\, 6 – 8pm \nFACEBOOK EVENT LINK \n \n \nBINYAM NARDOS: Unofficial reports by some media outlets and community outreach organizations that track and document police violence demonstrate that more than any other demographic group\, young black males are at a particularly heightened risk for fatal police encounters. \nLEARN MORE: A Multi-Level Bayesian Analysis of Racial Bias in Police Shootings at the County-Level in the United States\, 2011–2014 \nThere are many possible underlying causes for the reported violent interactions between police and black individuals. To shed light on the issue\, one approach taken by psychologists and neuroscientists has been to investigate potential behavioral and intrinsic brain-based biases when perceiving black versus white faces. One notable study (B. Keith Payne\, 2001) reports that brief presentation of black vs white faces as racial cues can actually “prime” a quicker response to weapons or items of danger. The same manipulation increases misidentification of tools as weapons for black\, relative to white\, face cues. This occurs even if the face cue was flashed so quickly that the participant doesn’t even know it was there. \nLEARN MORE: Split-Second Decisions and Unintended Stereotyping \nThe above and similar findings point to race as an important construct that drives perception\, which may\, at least in part\, drive the actions taken by law enforcement. Binyam’s research in Damien Fair’s Neuroimaging Lab in Behavioral Neuroscience at OHSU\, which is funded by the MacArthur Foundation Research Network on Law and Neuroscience asks an additional question. Are these types of relationships dependent\, or even enhanced\, based on the emotional state of the subject making quick decisions? \n \nTo investigate the effects of race and emotional context on face perception\, our study used black and white faces as stimuli in a functional MRI task (emotional go/no-go task) designed to study impulse control in black and white young adults. Three emotional contexts were induced in participants: rewarding\, threatening\, or neutral contexts. Behaviorally\, participants exhibited greater impulsive actions (more false alarms) to black faces\, which was enhanced in threat contexts. This finding was paralleled in the brain. Brain patterns revealed increased functional MRI activity for black faces in threatening contexts\, as opposed to few face differences in neutral and rewarding contexts. Our results demonstrate the importance of emotional context as an important factor that influences race perception\, and subsequent decision-making. Such findings should assist in ongoing efforts to increase awareness of race disparities in law enforcement and ultimately a reduction in preventable violent encounters. \n \nTERESSA RAIFORD: The founder of Don’t Shoot Portland\, Teressa creates and contributes to community art to engage people in seeking and achieving social justice. From Teressa: “Non Violent Direct Actions are engineered by tools we have inherited from our individual life experiences\, and real influence from elders and history. Using education has been the key to our consistency and evolution of tactics. History\, Art and Educations combined institutional access powers up our Artistic medium to engage community.” Enjoy the opportunity to create powerful collages that reflect and make visible all people who contribute to this place we call home. \nDon’t Shoot Portland SLIDES: Velo Slide Show \n\nNW Noggin Velo Cult events are always free\, open to the public\, child friendly\, and feature access to amazing beer (scroll here for current tap list)\, wine\, coffee\, tea\, sodas and sandwiches…
