U.S. Attorney Rachel Rollins to speak at Mason Square events

U.S. Attorney Rachel Rollins to speak at Mason Square events

SPRINGFIELD — U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins is scheduled as the keynote speaker Saturday at the 6th annual Mason Square C3 Community Awards Ceremony at the Raymond A. Jordan Senior Center.

The 3 p.m. ceremony is sold out, but Rollins is also scheduled to have a separate community conversation for the general public at the Mason Square Library from noon to 1 p.m. That event is open to the public.

Rollins spoke Thursday night in a virtual town hall about the impact of the federal consent decree on the Springfield police department.

Rollins, a UMass-Amherst alumna, is the first black woman chosen to serve as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts.

The theme for the award ceremony is “Changing Systematic Racism and Inequity in the Criminal Justice System through Community Engagement.”

The Mason Square C3, a collaboration of the Springfield police, community organizations and Mason Square residents, has since 2015 been working together to improve the quality of life throughout the neighborhood surrounding Mason Square. This annual ceremony is both a fundraiser for C3 community events and an opportunity to recognize individuals and organizations that improve the lives of the Mason Square residents.

Canada Day event and popular Mississauga festivals return to Celebration Square

Canada Day event and popular Mississauga festivals return to Celebration Square

After more than two years of cancellations and virtual events due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several hugely popular festivals are returning to Celebration Square in Mississauga this spring and summer.

Also returning to the downtown core venue is the City of Mississauga’s annual Canada Day celebration, taking place July 1.

“For sure…there will be Canada Day. We’re looking at all the events and there may even be fireworks (on Canada Day), and there may be some entertainment. So, that’s great news,” Mayor Bonnie Crombie said in an Instagram interview Tuesday afternoon with insauga.com publisher Khaled Iwamura.

Crombie noted the first festival to return to the downtown core this year is Mississauga Polish Day, taking place May 28 from noon to 11 p.m. at Celebration Square. Admission is free.

“Then, there will be festivals throughout the summer as well,” added an enthused Crombie, who has been optimistic since January that Mississauga’s summer festivals would return.

Mississauga Polish Day is the city’s annual Polish cultural festival, celebrating Polish-Canadian contribution towards Canada’s rich cultural mosaic, organizers say.

“Visitors of all ages and backgrounds are invited for an authentic European experience,” they add.

Festival highlights include live performances, traditional food, beer gardens, a children’s village/play area, and art and cultural exhibits.

The first Mississauga Polish Day was held in 2015, at the John Paul II Polish Cultural Centre, and the event moved to Celebration Square the following year.

It attracts tens of thousands of visitors each year.

Next up is the TD Mosaic Festival, which takes place July 22-23 at the square.

Organizers say this award-winning Mississauga festival “…brings you the best of art, culture and cuisine from South Asia. The two-day, free festival will feature music, dance, folklore, Bollywood, food and shopping in the heart of Mississauga headlined by popular artists and performers from India, Pakistan, Canada and the U.S.”

Also, children can enjoy free arts and craft workshops and learn to use a pottery wheel.

Additionally, “This year’s festival will present a film segment featuring South Asian cinema in a local theatre,” organizers note.

Rock the Coliseum, the independent music component of the Mosaic Festival, will celebrate its 15th year by presenting local youth bands as well as well-known independent bands from across the province.

Mississauga Italfest, taking place Aug. 12-13, returns to the square just in time to celebrate its 10th anniversary on the festival scene.

“Experience some of Italy’s finest in the heart of Mississauga” is among the themes of this year’s festival, also a free event to attend.

Attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year, Mississauga Italfest has consistently been named one of Ontario’s top 100 festivals/events over the years.

Celebrating “the beauty of Italian heritage and culture,” organizers say this event features delicious food and crafts from a variety of vendors and artisans, cultural and family-oriented activities, entertainment from local and international talent, a thriving “mercato” (market) and more.

On Aug. 20-21, Japan Festival Canada takes over Celebration Square as the largest Japanese cultural event in North America, according to organizers.

Some 90,000 people attended the 2019 event and organizers hope to exceed that number this year.

The festival’s goal, simply stated, is to “introduce and promote genuine Japanese food, culture and technologies,” organizers say, adding after two years of hosting the festival virtually, they’re looking forward to returning to an in-person, live event in the heart of the downtown core.

Japan Festival Canada, first held in 2016, also seeks to further improve Canadian-Japanese relations, organizers note.

To that end, they add, the festival will provide “…exciting entertainment such as traditional and modern performances, pop culture stage performances, as well as delicious Japanese foods and much more.”

7. “Leidy Churchman: New You” at Matthew Marks, New York

Leidy Churchman, whose large, Monet-like canvas is a highlight of the Whitney Biennial, presents a wide range of paintings at Matthew Marks, from landscapes to abstractions, to depictions of everyday objects like the calculator.

Austin Lee uses digital software in concert with traditional techniques to create colorful paintings, sculptures, and animations. His second solo show with Jeffrey Deitch features works designed in virtual reality and then physically fabricated—plus an augmented reality sculpture on the gallery roof, visible via an Instagram filter. “With each new tech expansion comes both positive and negative side effects,” Lee said in a statement. “Isolation mixed with mediated interaction, subversive advertising, facing overwhelming tragedy alone and through a screen—these are just some of the confusing, disorienting experiences that are hard to adapt to and highlight our need for authentic connection.”

9. “Alix Lambert: Pleadings and Proceedings” at Theodore, New York

Taking advantage of the fact that U.S. courtrooms are open to the public, artist Alix Lambert has spent several years sitting in on trials. Following in the footsteps of courtroom sketch artists, she has illustrated the proceedings, creating snapshots of lawyers, judges, witnesses, family members, jurors, stenographers, court officers, and defendants. The resulting works, captioned with snippets from legal exchanges she has witnessed, are a portrait of the criminal justice system, and how it treats those ensnared in it.

13. “Roy Nachum: Portraits” at A Hug From the Art World, New York

The process for creating this show is done in two parts. Roy Nachum takes over a year in some cases to create these large, hyperreal portraits, using tiny brushes to capture every microscopic detail of the subjects’ faces, all of whom are visually impaired. Then he invites each subject to “finish” the work by marking the surface of their respective portrait with their own interpretive brushstrokes, in the color of their choosing. “It is only after part two, the individuals’ participation, that Nachum feels the portraits gather their soul and unearth their raw presence,” according to the gallery.

Location: A Hug From the Art World, 515 West 19th Street, New York

Price: Free

Time: Tuesday–Saturday, 11 a.m.–6 p.m.

To honor her memory, celebrate her life, and create a space to grieve her untimely death, the gallery will present a group exhibition of nine contemporary femme artists, all belonging to the AAPI community, including work by Lee herself. Curated by stephanie mei huang, the show is made up of paintings, sculpture, and photography and addresses broader themes of Asian hate in U.S. culture. Part of the proceeds will go to organizations that Lee held in high regard.

Location: Eli Klein Gallery, 398 West Street, New York
Price: Free
Time: Monday–Saturday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
