DESCRIPTION:This event is going to be another amazing and powerful event that is a mix 
 of Art and Music in motion. Sean Nash is an amazing local artist, who is 
 showing his work during our event that features amazing Djs, including Dj 
 NoNo from Spain, Dj Dino Velvet, and Dj Mike Frugaletti.\n\n Sean Levon 
 Nash was born in Oakland, California, in 1973. Sean spent much of his youth 
 between Oakland, Indiana, and Iowa. Of Chocktaw and Comanche descent, his 
 frequent relocation has afforded him a unique view of current America and 
 it’s effects on mixed Indians, particularly himself. Sean graduated from 
 UC Davis in Fine Art and History. He continues to apply his mastery of 
 medium to create educational and historically relevant paintings, and 
 through these he successfully contextualizes ancient indigenous imagery as 
 the linguistic medium that it has been for thousands of years. Sean 
 currently lives in San Francisco’s Mission District, and teaches 
 throughout the Bay Area.\n\nThe Forrealism Movement is composed of a group 
 of mixed Indian and Latino artists who create works collectively, drawing 
 from our own traditions and those of our elders who have shared gifts of 
 their wisdom and experience. We do not purport to be religiously bound to 
 these traditions; rather we strive to deconstruct racial barriers in order 
 to construct cultural bridges toward a greater indigenous 
 consciousness.\nAs urban Indians working in a city where many cultures come 
 together, the scope of our work spans the Americas. It is not limited to 
 symbolism from our particular cultural background; we serve our community 
 more generally. No one of these traditions defines us, nor do we attempt to 
 expose the complexities and rites of traditions that require specific 
 intention to understand.\nWe strive instead to relate concepts and 
 ideological systems and natural cycles that all people have in common. 
 Certain of our images have elicited extremely enthusiastic response. The 
 popularity of these images attests to an innate call for people of all 
 cultures to grasp cyclical concepts of place and being. Our intention is to 
 remind, remember, recover, realize:\n- Remind us of all our relations,\n- 
 Remember our ancestors and the knowledge they hold that supports our 
 collective survival,\n-Recover lost wisdom from cultures that have suffered 
 imperial extermination, and\n- Realize, to make real, that knowledge 
 through our creative endeavors and collaborations.\nEuropean artists 
 throughout the ages have looked to the works of Greek and Roman mythology 
 and theory for inspiration and insight. We pay homage to great 
 civilizations of pre-Columbian Americas and acknowledge the 21st century 
 canon of Native American art. We look to ancient and traditional indigenous 
 source material, including but not limited to painted books, vases, 
 monumental inscriptions and architecture. These many artifacts, along with 
 stories from our ancestors, contextualize our work as honoring the great 
 masters of indigenous art of the Americas. The deliberate destruction of 
 countless original meso-American literature and monumental artifacts by 
 imperialist corporate forces illustrates how powerful this sacred knowledge 
 is. We attempt to convey the importance of respectfully investigating the 
 remaining documents, while consulting wisdom carriers who hold the true 
 knowledge to ancient traditions. \n
