At first glance, Howardena Pindell’s “Autobiography: Scapegoat” appears to be a simple collage of magazine-like cutouts and words against a gray background. However, after viewing the work for a few seconds, you begin to notice the complicated texture. Though the work is not a sculpture by any means, the techniques Pindell use are reminiscent of 3D pieces. By overlapping many different mediums, ridges form across the entire background, drawing the viewer’s attention to the smoother areas. It is in these areas where her message lies. Phrases such as, “if you don’t do what we say we will,” “we will have our way” and “do not underestimate our power” quite literally hang over the heads of silhouettes and painted images of women, men and children of color.

Howardena Pindell’s “‘Till Brinam Wood Removes to Dunsinane’ (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 3)” (1991) effectively draws the audience’s attention, first focusing their eyes on the yellow center where the large text “Have A Nice Day” starkly contrasts with the smaller words “propaganda,” “death” and “double standards” surrounding it. Throughout the work, Pindell uses the same technique of eye-catching contrasts. In the black background, bright, blood-red handprints break up the blackness and draw the public’s eye to certain words neighboring them. Phrases like “Full Air Explosives,” painted in red, appear next to words like “Silence,” written completely in white. Here, a word with loud and destructive connotations appears next to “Silence,” the result of destruction, implying a lack of life.

“Drag queens are people, too!” said Plane Jane, an established performer from the Boston area. She opened this year’s Triskelion’s Annual Drag Show with what seemed to be a wink to those old Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screenings. Next to her, co-host and drag king Jayden Jamison welcomed the eager audience to an intergalactic room that looked nothing like Sherman Function Hall.

Loud. That is how I would describe my Friday night at Chum’s. This, however, is not a negative attribute. Loud is usually exciting, invigorating, awakening. The concert that I attended was all of these. The MAD Band hosted a jam session with the Bentley Pep Band, and to say the café roared would be an understatement. It’s a good thing the Castle doesn’t have residents anymore, because students were blasting music through their speakers, valves, drums and bells.
