SAY MORE WITH LESS
SMALL MATTERS Lee Harvey was controversial, fiery and committed to calling out hypocrisy. His targets included the First Baptist Church’s Homer G. Lindsay Jr., the Klan, Goldman Sachs, President George “Dubbya” Bush, the ruling class, yellow journalists, critics and other artists. But the core of his work was centered on a biting critique of American inequities and crimes. We can only sigh and wonder what horrors he would’ve painted spot-on in this, the age of fake news and an “unpresidented” president. Several of Harvey’s works are displayed in Small Matters, a show of 18 artists’ works at The Yellow House, a new space opened by Hope McMath (pictured) to promote artistic discourse and activism. Opening receptions are 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 31; 6-8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1; 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 2; 577 King St., Riverside, 419-9180, yellowhouseart.org. 10 • FOLIOWEEKLY.com • August 30-September 5, 2017

JAZZ & FUNK, BLENDED WITH PUNK DJ SET WITH GEEXELLA
As one of Jacksonville’s most talented, clever and jazz-influenced up-and-coming rappers, geeXella (pictured) always tries to be authentic and true to herself, writing only about what she knows and feels. As an outspoken member of the LGBTQIA community, she is “queering the mic” as noted writer Dr. Nikki Lane would say, and within that flipped heteronormative structure, working against expectations of gendered identity, all with solid hooks and good beats. Swing through and listen as this “unclassifiable, rocket-fueled, complex musician” (we said it, we stand by it) spins her favorite music, 7-9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1, Coniferous Café, 42 W.

THE WORDS THEY SAID IBRAM X. KENDI TACKLES A HISTORY
OF RACISM In his meticulously researched book, Stamped from the Beginning, Kendi (pictured) formulated a clear and simple idea of what constitutes a racist idea and applied that to various people, time periods and ideologies throughout American history.
