<b>18+ mature themes</b><br><br> Feminism is for everyone.<br><br> If you are someone who thinks that feminism is only for women, or if you are someone who enjoys participating in conversations about social ideologies, this event is for you.<br><br> Funded by the Kentucky Foundation for Women, this event aims to engage people who originally believe that the current patriarchal power structures do not harm them in any way. Structures that rely on the "Power over" model will always be built on the inhibition of the human spirit. Feminism is for everyone and this event aims to illustrate this through the talents and thought processes of several local artists.<br><br> These artists were tasked to examine how they are negatively impacted in a society built to benefit them, to show how everyone will benefit from the deconstruction of these systems.<br><br> Each artist is creating 2 self portraits: one to illustrate the toxicity under the "power over" social structure and the other will illustrate their pure human spirit outside of these toxic social structures.<br><br>

The David Johnson Chorus is an award-winning chorus made up of auditioned individuals from West Tennessee and West Kentucky. The chorus has been performing since 1998 and is embarking on its final Farewell Tour this May.<br><br> The DJC will perform their last concert in Murray, Kentucky on Saturday, May 22nd, at 7 pm at First United Methodist Church. Visit Facebook.com/DavidJohnsonChorus for more details.

THE DAVID JOHNSON CHORUS WRAPS UP ITS FAREWELL TOUR After twenty-three years of entertaining audiences from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta, St. Louis to Utah, and all across the state of Tennessee, The David Johnson Chorus will bring down the curtain for the final time this spring. The award-winning choir, based in Northwest Tennessee, will give ample opportunity to hear them one last time, as they are performing in Memphis, Union City, Humboldt, Dyer, and Dresden, TN, Murray and Fulton, KY, and Senatobia, MS. Director David Johnson, who resides in McKenzie, TN, said this has been a very emotional time for everyone in the group. “Many have formed very close friendships as they’ve sung together, traveled together, and shared tears of joy and sorrow. There was never going to be a time to end the chorus without there being a bittersweet tone to it. But for the past few years I’ve had in mind that I wanted it to end on a high note. As I told the chorus, ‘I don’t want people coming to a concert and saying to each other, “I remember when they were really good.” I want us to go out singing strong.’ And when people come to hear us this spring, they’ll hear one of the best and strongest sounds we’ve ever produced.” The songs selected for the farewell tour representing the wide range of music the chorus has sung over the past two decades: medleys by the Beach Boys, Ray Charles, and Richard Rodgers, a cappella hymns and spirituals, Broadway hits, Disney songs, a couple of songs written by Dolly Parton, and patriotic numbers. “Like always,” General Manager, Gail Jercinovich, said, “this concert will have something for everyone. Audiences will leave with their hearts full and their spirits lifted.”
