An
autobiographical solo performance portraying memories of strong,
beautiful and black women. Colleen explores her personal diasporic
identity by revisiting tidbits passed on to her from her grandmother,
mother, sister, and other strong female influences, including their
cultures, stories, foods, dances, clothes, hair, songs and words.
The
work is informed by the family recipe she is desperate to learn, the
dances she watched her sister do her whole life, or simply the way these
women carry themselves. Colleen "carves a space for us to celebrate
black women." She says, "Putting the body on stage is an act of protest.
The work serves as an urgent declaration that black women are
important, beautiful and magical."

The Mary C. Daly RSM Art Gallery at Mercy By The Sea presents photographs
by Cindy Fiano through March 14, 2018. Cindy
is a self-taught photographer, inspired by serene seascapes and
graceful birds on beaches and in marshes. For Cindy, her biggest
inspiration has been to capture and share the beauty
in the commonplace — those things which often get overlooked. It’s the
small details, often overshadowed by daily activity, that hold the key
to a deeper connection to nature and joy. As guests look at Cindy’s
photos, she hopes they hear the sound of the
waves in the distance, smell the salty air,
feel the coarse sand
beneath your feet
and see the wonderful gifts the sea has to offer.

seasonal changes. The exhibition is through March 11,
