action related to the Black Lives Matter movement, The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, the UMD Office of Diversity and Inclusion and UMD Office of Multicultural Involvement and Community Advocacy in partnership with Black Terps Matter announced<strong> Vital Signs: Creative Arts for Black Lives Mini-Grants</strong> in Summer 2020.</p> <p dir="ltr">Both Black-identifying and non-Black-identifying creators may apply. For those applicants that are Black-identifying, we invite you to use this opportunity to creatively process any joy, pain or vitality that you want to express. For those applicants that do not identify as Black, we ask that you approach your project and examine your topic from your own perspective with introspection and a critical eye.</p> <p dir="ltr">We encourage students of all forms and levels of artistic experience to apply. Applicants do not need to be affiliated with a student organization.</p> <p>These mini-grants are awarded each semester to artists in the UMD community who are creating projects that affirm Black life and vitality and interrogate white supremacy and anti-Blackness. Mini-grant funds are intended to support costs associated with the development of these projects.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Submit a project proposal for the 2024-2025 mini-grant cycle by Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 11:59PM ET.</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>For questions about Vital Signs: Creative Arts for Black Lives mini-grants, please contact Tyler Clifford, Senior Artistic Planning Coordinator, at <a href="mailto:tylerc@umd.edu" target="_blank">tylerc@umd.edu</a>.</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p class="rtecenter"><a href="https://forms.gle/jmXoAYgDwBZ8BZAF9" style="background-color:#000000;border-radius:4px;color:#ffffff;display:inline-block;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;line-height:40px;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:225px;-webkit-text-size-adjust:none;">PROJECT PROPOSAL FORM</a></p> <p class="rtecenter"> </p> <h2><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-family:aktiv-grotesk-std,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:36px">Past Recipients & Projects</span></span></span></h2> <h3 dir="ltr"> </h3> <h3 dir="ltr"><span style="color:#000000">2024-2025</span></h3> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Ijeoma Asonye (Undergraduate Student, Mechanical Engineering and Creative Writing '24)</strong> is creating the dance film, Cir (pronounced cur), a mix between mechatronics and dance. Cir is set in a sci-fi-esque world where things feel like a dreamy thriller incorporating ballet and contemporary dance. In a Black Swan x Us crossover, Black joy is seen as resistance to whiteness in a world the characters feel like they can't get out of. Perhaps the more they smile and laugh, the more the world they live in can change? This film takes a symbolic approach to circuits as they too must allow an uninterrupted flow of electricity and life to continue being a source of power. What type of power prevails? In the end the story reveals itself from a overhead shot that all the characters are living in an CIRcuit and no one can get out, but perhaps someone does?</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Shartoya Jn. Baptiste (Graduate Student, Theatre Design, '24) </strong>Movement artists Livi Janae and Shartoya Jn. Baptiste present the dance film "The Black Smile". A film that challenges the threat of a Black smile, and the attempted suppression of Black joy and success. This film celebrates healing and collaboration amongst black women.

Payne (PhD Student, Urban Education ’24)</strong> Affirming the beauty of researching Black students, Rolonda created a space and time for six Black doctoral students to freedom dream and develop liberating ideas on researching and reducing epistemological violence against Black students in education. The doctoral students created and displayed artistic images and tangible products of their positionality and axiomatic stances of Black brilliance. This reflexive methodology required a synthesis of expression that allowed doctoral students to situate their experiences within Black joy, Black love, resistance, and racial trauma to express Black liberatory and radical imaginaries that humanize and value Black students in research.</p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Kaisha Snowden (Undergraduate Student, Dance & Community Health ‘26)</strong> is creating a dance masterclass open to dancers of all backgrounds interested in learning the style of majorette.

Johson composed works for military and dance bands; he is also likely the first Black American to both have music published as well as to publish his own works. By researching and performing Johnson's music, Kramer seeks to bring awareness to a critically important and under-researched historical musician. </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Shannon Martin (Doctoral Student, School of Psychology ‘24) </strong>is a school psychologist and doctoral student whose practice and research interests seek to reclaim schools and community spaces as sites for the liberation of Black and non-Black students of color.
