______________________+MUSIC_____________________
The Ringling and Moxie Productions SRQ Presents :

the HoNGs // Miami, Florida // Formed in 2008 by Jamaican-born musician Gordon Myers this multinational rock electronic group has become one of the most popular bands of the Miami music scene.
Quite accidentally, The Hongs band members are a multinational fusion: Jamaican, French, Mexican, Jewish, Costa Rican, Scottish, Cuban & Argentinean. The Hongs blend elements of electro-pop with a dash of nuwave to create a sweet sugary pop-rock-disco. Spreading the dance / rock / house / electro hybrid one toe at a time…

Lady Dug // St Augustine, Florida // Multi-instrumentalist & cosmic jazz-head Amy Douglas (aka Lady Dug) is giant-stepping out with her debut LP. She wears her influences on her sequined sleeve, paying homage to early 90s hip hop, r&b and deep soul. While she attempts these advanced arkestral maneuvers, her introspective lyrics keep firmly grounded & offer a glimpse into the depths of Dug hidden beneath her glittery exterior.

Aūto Kania // Sarasota, Florida // Auto Kania is a newly founded original psychedelic rock trio led by Hungarian guitarist/vocalist Thomas Nagy & backed up by a powerful rhythm crew consisting of bassist Jack Berry & drummer Jared Johnson. Their heavy atmospheric sound takes influence from 60s & 70s stalwarts while incorporating hints of European folklore and jazz in an abstractly modern style.

____________________ +ART__________________________
Art in the Courtyard at Ringling Underground:
The Ringling and Danielle Dygert presents:

“Unraveled,” a Ringling Museum Courtyard exhibition of three local artists who examine the physical representation of emotions. Including poetics of space, hyper-realized imagery, and confrontational design.

Ava Zelkowitz is an artist and writer who mergers the poetics of text with installation. Her work evokes latent emotional states and reactions as signs, to be confronted as disruptions of environment.

Sarah Grace Bradicich is a print-maker, painter, and textiles artist exploring ideas and issues of femininity through a historical and anthropological perspective. Her work is clean, crisp and hyper feminine. Her explorations of the female body through sugar-coated contraceptives demonstrates a keen eye for both design and play.

Briana Nieves is a religious studies major who utilizes photography and film-making to identify the significance of both the mother and the eroticism in contemporary catholicism. Working with women of color, Bree stretches the aesthetic of tradition.

___________+Ringling Underground UNPLUGGED_____________

Spoken word artist Cedric Hameed will explore the ideas presented in the special exhibition highlighting contemporary artist Hank Willis Thomas. The exhibition, Unbranded: A Century of White Women, 1915–2015, features digital chromogenic prints reconsidering classic advertisements over the last 100 years – minus their original text. Released from any context, brand, product or messaging, the previously subliminal images are free to speak more directly to what is being sold: the constructed identity and reinforced stereotypes of white women in the U.S. over time. A Century of White Women examines how advertising has helped construct gender ideals over the last 100 years. It is also takes a deeper look at the whitewashing of beauty standards and the idea that female beauty means white female beauty. https://www.ringling.org/events/hank-willis-thomas-brandedunbranded

Cedric, together with musician Sierra Sellers, will create a fusion of art forms with the aim to connect the audience to art while exploring contemporary and social issues. In this positive space, all are welcome to share your opinions and emotions about the complex themes Thomas explores.

Working in tandem with this performance, artwork created by staff and students of the Visible Men Academy will also be on view via a projection screen. The pieces shown touch on themes of self-image, self-esteem, and the challenging of stereotypes
