Yellow

Written and directed by Salt Lake City resident Brittany Bullen, Yellow chronicles the life of Harriet Foster, a woman who has recently died of cancer.  Her story is told by her daughter, Greta, who narrates snapshots from the past via a memoir her mother has written and left behind.  Through the memoir, Harriet recaptures the events of her life as centered around important kisses as well as moments when, for various reasons, kissing did not occur.  As she reads, Greta learns new and sometimes difficult truths about her family and must decide how to come to terms with the past.  Yellow stars local actors Michael Jorgensen, Nathan Krishnan, Brighton Sloan and Chelsea Sloan and will be performed.

MEXICAN + AMERICAN
An intimate reflection on the status of immigration & co-ethnic view of our worlds

◊ August 2, 2010  thru September 30, 2010

◊ Friday, August 20, 2010 ◊ 7 PM 

In this series, the artist explores two issues that currently hold significant importance for both of his countries; the immigration debate and the drug war.  The only viable option to solve these issues would be for both countries to transcend themselves, critically analyze the situation, and ultimately reside upon a common ground.  The artist believes this common ground can be found in our youth and their future; this vision is what he hopes his audience will see depicted through this art collection.

The artist, Alexander "Jesus" Ramos was born June 12, 1987 in Guadalajara, Mexico. He is currently attending the University of Utah and will be graduating this coming spring with a B.A. in Philosophy and Political Science.
