SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Amber Hoy
DESCRIPTION:Where: Cypress College Art Gallery \n“Entrenched is an ongoing collection of images and audio stories that describe my experience as a woman in the military. I started gathering and organizing these materials as a way to reflect on the intersection of the trauma of war and the experience of being a woman both inside and outside the military. I organize the images to emphasize the gap between the moment of shooting these photographs or experiencing the events and the time of collecting or recalling them\, a gap of sometimes many years. This rift\, along with the divergence of materials and forms – snapshots\, art photos and audio – highlights the search for a way to talk about and represent the complex divisions between\, and superimpositions of soldier and woman\, past and present\, experience and reflection.” \nAmber Hoy grew up in Yankton\, South Dakota. She enlisted in the US Army and deployed to Qayyarah West\, Iraq as an ammunition specialist from 2006-2007 with the 592nd Ordnance Company. After coming back from Iraq\, she became a Public Affairs Specialist and joined the 314 PA Detachment. She later received her Bachelor of Arts degree with an emphasis in photography from the University of Alabama at Birmingham in 2011 and a Master of Fine Arts degree in Photography + Integrated Media from Ohio University in 2015. Since then\, Hoy has exhibited with the San Francisco Art Commission\, and at venues that include the National Veterans Art Museum\, College of the Redwoods\, Cal Poly University and the Worth Ryder Gallery\, UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:"Triangle of Death" Film Screening\, with Director Folleh Shar Tamba
DESCRIPTION:Where: Cypress College Art Gallery \n“Join the Marines of 2/24 as they take you on a journey through one of Iraq’s deadliest regions known as The Triangle of Death. Feel what it’s like to survive through a tour of duty during the largest combat engagement since the Vietnam War. Struggle through all the hardships of daily life in a combat environment filled with car bombs\, random insurgent attacks\, and the possibility of dying for a cause the American public does not fully support. See the horrors of life in a third world country without law and order and a crumbling society desperately in need of leadership. And find out what the media isn’t allowing the American public to know about the most controversial war of our time.” (Quoted from https://vetstreamtv.com) \nInterdisciplinary artist/filmmaker Folleh Shar Tamba was born in Chicago and raised in West Africa\, where he experienced the horrors of the Liberian Civil War. “Most of my friends were killed\,” Tamba states\, but “when the Marines showed up\, everything stopped.” Returning to Chicago at the age of 17\, Tamba continued his education and eventually enlisted in the Marines himself: “I want[ed] to be the guy that takes the gun and fights for something\,” he says.[i] \nWounded in combat in Iraq\, Tamba was awarded a Purple Heart\, and has since produced and directed three award-winning documentaries: The Triangle of Death (Wolf Dog Films\, 2009)\, The Line of Departure (2011)\, and The Process (2016)\, which won best documentary short at the 2016 Gary International Black Film Festival. \nTamba uses multiple tools in addition to documentary – including video\, installation\, poetry\, and drawing – to explore the subject of war and fulfill a promise that “art must reflect and respond to the contemporary social issues of the time and the world in which it was created.”[ii] His works have been shown at\, among others\, the Rome International Film Festival; the Great Lakes International Film Festival; Art Devour Gallery\, Chicago; and Artspace\, North Carolina. \nNOTES \n[i] Collins\, Courtney. “African Immigrant Turned U.S. Marine Screens War Documentary Sunday.” WAMU\, American University Radio.
