SUMMARY:Natasha Mayers: an Un-Still Life
DESCRIPTION:Now\, more than ever\, people want to see truthful\, creative role models like Natasha Mayers\, who has been called the “most committed activist artist” in Maine and who Senator George Mitchell called a “state treasure.” Presenting an artist who has remained true to her passion for over 50 years\, the film follows Natasha as she takes on social\, economic and environmental justice issues with humor\, irreverence and a keen aesthetic that enlightens while it entertains. Using a non-traditional approach\, the film’s animation and special effects reflect Mayers’ own art-style.  From her arrest at a demonstration to featured conversations with Artists Kathy Bradford\, Robert Shetterly and Art Critic Lucy Lippard\, the film follows her quest to engage with the questions that face people-of-conscience today. \n\n\n\nRegister for the virtual film screening and conversation \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Artist Natasha MayersNatasha Mayers has been called “the heart and soul of activist art in Maine.” She is widely known for her work supervising more than 600 school and community murals from Maine to Nicaragua. She supervised painting utility poles in her town which depict local history and were featured in Lucy Lippard’s book\, The Lure of the Local. For the past 35 years she has been creating parade “floats” for the local Whitefield 4th of July parade. For Natasha\, the painted poles and parade floats represent art by the community\, about the community\, and for the community\, empowering a community to portray and know itself.
