SILENT & DEEP THE TIDE RUNS QUIET: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK
OF TOM HAGER Photographer Hager is known for his use of alternative and antique photographic methods (we also like his charm and winning smile). Through his career, his imagery has varied from Duchampesque self-portraits to multi-image photo-collages, to stripped-down and bare landscape imagery. This current body of work captures the hallucinatory luminosity of the sea in simplified compositions and subtle colors. Hager discusses his techniques at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 at Beaches Museum & History Park, Jax Beach, members free, nonmembers $5; show runs through October. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • August 23-29, 2017

HANDS UP, DON’T SHOOT WHOSE STREETS? AT SUN-RAY
What did it feel like in National Guard-occupied Ferguson, Missouri? How does a community reeling from loss, anger and fear affect change, and what is the human cost? Rolling Stone called Whose Streets? the most vital documentary of the year; emerging filmmakers Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis force the viewer–especially in light of Charlottesville–to consider the implications of state-sponsored violence and institutional racism, and who gets to contribute to national conversations on these topics.

DJ LUPE FUENTES These days, it might seem as if every niche-celebrity-type person has two turntables, a microphone and a dream … though it’s doubtful there are too many other ex-porn stars (with RealDoll cred, even) who got into deejaying by way of their K-Poploving, metalhead husband. In a 2014 Vice interview, Fuentes said, “music has always been my passion,” so she taught herself Pro Tools and how to work studio equipment. Since then, her career has enjoyed a steady ascent; she keeps it going all over the world. Fuentes appears 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26 at Myth Nightclub, Downtown, $9.43-$159.24, 707-0474.
