backtalk

Silent Sam, Speaking We begin this week with Lester Levine, who channels the voice of Silent Sam to defend the Confederate monument: “I have been taken down as a symbol of bigotry. That is not all of who I am. My dedication reflected the conflicts of the American soul. The main speaker’s words suggested an important role for me, the university, and the state: ‘Ours is the task to build a State worthy of all patriotism and heroic deeds,’ he said, ‘a State that demands justice for herself and all her people, a State sounding with the music of victorious industry, a State whose awakened conscience shall lead the State to evolve from the forces of progress a new social order, with finer development for all conditions and classes of our people.’

“I have anchored the ‘front gate’ to UNCChapel Hill, the oldest U.S. public university, in a state that has sought to rise to the governor’s challenge, helping to forever change the South and the country for the better.

We must use the potential healing power of monument again to fulfill the university motto: ‘Lux Libertas’—Light and Liberty, not just for UNC, not just for Chapel Hill, but for our fragmented country. Shunting me away is the easy way out. I should become a part of a needed dialogue about racism as an obstacle to fulfilling Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness for all, the meaning of America. Let’s not admit failure of our better angels; let’s enable it with honest discourse.

This is not a new role for UNC or the ground where I was placed: UNC’s racial integration, the speaker ban, the death of MLK, the Vietnam War protests across the street, etc.

“The gate to UNC needs to have a place of permanent reminders, perhaps me and N.C. sit-in students. These pieces together can be a great space for open dialogue.”

Moving on. By the time you read this, the dust will have settled on this year’s midterms. But Rene delaVarre has some thoughts on the election’s waning days: “The party of the left has shown that there is no calumny it will not retail, no false or uncorroborated allegation it will not use to whip up ideological passions, and no depths to which it will not stoop to win and hold power. Let’s hope voters look at the noisome spectacle that has just taken place on Capitol Hill and deliver a resounding rebuke to the people who perpetrated it. Their behavior

“It’s my honor to stick it to the Democrats for their disgraceful behavior.”

during the Kavanaugh confirmation process outstrips even the disgraceful conduct of their partisan forebears at the confirmation hearings for Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.

“You left-wing political hacks purposefully victimized Kavanaugh, concealing Ford’s allegation from everyone, even in closed sessions with Kavanaugh, and then disclosing it as late as possible in the hope that it could delay or prevent a good man’s confirmation. Democrats simply used Dr. Ford. You didn’t give a damn about her, you simply wanted to keep a Supreme Court seat vacant for two years. Democrats are not interested in truth. They are only interested in power.

“I’ve always voted as an independent, sometimes Democrat, sometimes Republican. It’s my honor to stick it to the Democrats for their disgraceful behavior, and I will vote straight-line Republican, and in 2020, I will be sure to vote for President Trump. I have always disliked the man, but he is doing a great job as president. He has turned this economy around for sure. You Democrats are the ones that are intolerant, the ones who suffer a cognitive dissonance.

Power to the Republicans; power to Trump; power to America.”

Finally, Nancy Mullin says our story last week on Marsy’s Law missed a big point: “While I appreciate the thoughtful article about this flawed law, the fundamental reason not to vote for the proposed amendment is that the constitution should never be used to legislate. Marsy’s Law is a law (or could be). This is yet another example of our legislature overstepping into the judicial realm. Once an amendment is passed, it can only be ‘tweaked’ or removed by passing another amendment. Missed the forest for the trees on this one!”

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS IN N.C. JAILS, BUT JAILS DON’T ALWAYS MAKE IT EASY TO VOTE

BY SARAH WILLETS

B

allots have been counted and winners declared in North Carolina’s midterm elections. The state ACLU wants to know whether eligible voters being held in county jails had the opportunity to participate, and how that process works in facilities where movement and information are limited by design.

North Carolina, like every state aside from Maine and Vermont, places restrictions on felons’ voting rights. Those in jail, however, are eligible to vote as long as they are citizens, at least eighteen, have lived at their home address for at least thirty days prior to the election, and aren’t serving an active sentence, probation, or parole for a felony conviction.

But thousands of eligible voters—serving misdemeanor sentences or awaiting trial—may be stuck in jail on Election Day. At minimum, federal law requires that they be provided with access to voter registration and absentee voting materials.

Ahead of Tuesday’s election, the ACLU of North Carolina asked eight counties for their policies and procedures concerning detainees’ voting access. The letters went out to sheriff’s offices, district attorneys, and elections boards in Alamance, Cabarrus, Edgecombe, Gaston, Granville, Guilford, Jackson, and Durham Counties.

“We have been hearing from various places around the state that there might not be procedures set up to allow people in jail to vote,” says Emily Seawell, an ACLU staff attorney.

The organization asked the state Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement whether it had issued any formal guidance on how to make voting accessible in jails, but the board turned up none, Seawell says—which means decisions on how and when detainees can get voter registration and votingby-mail materials may be falling on sheriffs, who run county jails.

6 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

“Consider the optics,” says Seawell. “A lot of places in the state this election have sheriff’s races and district attorneys’ races on the ballot, and if people who are detained in jail are not being provided access to voting, and that’s a decision being made by the sheriff’s office, that’s problematic.”

According to the Vera Institute, about fifteen thousand people were held pretrial in local jails across North Carolina in 2015—

and they really can—most of the time, it’s around a prior felony conviction,” Fellman says. The biggest misconception: That once convicted of a felony, a person is barred from voting for life. In North Carolina, voting rights are restored after a felon completes his or her sentence.

Fellman says You Can Vote—a project of the People’s Alliance Fund—approached the Durham County Sheriff ’s Office about

“If people who are in jail are not being provided access to voting and that’s a decision made by the sheriff ’s office, that’s problematic.” many of whom are in jail only because they could not afford to post bail.

North Carolina law allows for Multi-Partisan Assistance Teams, members of which are appointed by local elections boards, to help people who can’t get to polls vote. That model is often used in nursing homes. Seawell suggests it could work for jails as well.

The Durham County Sheriff’s Office invites a nonpartisan voter education organization called You Can Vote to register people in the jail to vote and help them request absentee ballots. You Can Vote director Kate Fellman says the organization encounters a lot of misunderstandings about who is eligible.

“I’d say about nine times out of ten that the voter has misinformation about why they can’t vote, or they think they can’t vote

holding voter registration drives prior to the 2016 election. To date, You Can Vote has helped more than 250 voters register and nearly 300 request absentee ballots.

During visits to the jail, volunteers tell detainees about what’s on the ballot—this year, that meant a lot of talk about the six proposed constitutional amendments— but because You Can Vote is nonpartisan, they don’t provide candidate information.

“I think the hardest thing is they don’t have access to technology while they’re incarcerated,” Fellman says. “They don’t have computer access to research candidates.”

Particularly in an election cycle featuring offices that directly affect the justiceinvolved—sheriff, district attorney, and judges—candidate information is key.

“People who are incarcerated already lack a voice,” says Seawell. “This is just taking away one of the avenues they have to take part in society, contribute to their communities, and make change happen in a positive way that would affect them. We’re taking away that voice by denying them the right to vote and making those who are already powerless to some degree even more powerless.”

Wake County isn’t as proactive as Durham.

You Can Vote went into the Wake jail once ahead of the 2016 election, Fellman says, but hasn’t gotten permission to return since.

Paul Gessner, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office legal adviser, says the voter registration drives—which required staff to conduct background checks on volunteers and escort them through the facility—had to be canceled “due to a severe staffing shortage in the jail.”

According to the Wake County Detention Center operations manual, detainees who wish to register to vote or request an absentee ballot should write to the Wake County Board of Elections and ask for the relevant paperwork—which means they need to be well-versed in election schedules to ensure that slow mail delivery doesn’t cause them to miss a deadline.

For the state ACLU, the issue falls at the intersection of two of its priorities: voting rights and bail reform.

“This is another administrative fee placed on people who’ve been arrested and charged with something that violates their rights just because they can’t afford to pay [bail]. In this case, it’s the right to vote,” says Seawell. “This is just another instance where you’re putting a burden on the poorest people in our state, and they’re losing their political voice to do anything to change the fact that they’re the poorest people in our state.” swillets@indyweek.com

PROGRESSIVE CANVASSERS WORK LONG HOURS FOR LOW PAY. NOW, THEY’RE UNIONIZING. BY LEIGH TAUSS

C

anvassers from the political campaigns Break the Majority and Aim Higher Now spent the weekend knocking on doors to gain votes for progressive candidates who support a middle-class agenda. But those canvassers had already won a decisive victory before Tuesday’s election results were announced.

Employees from the campaigns voted to unionize in recent weeks and were recognized by their respective political backers, a sign that the progressive campaign industry—plagued by long hours and low pay—is beginning to practice what it preaches.

“We are proud to have come together with overwhelming support from the Campaign Workers Guild and the North Carolina Democratic Party,” Break the Majority field organizer Grayson Barnette said in a statement Thursday. “I am hopeful that this agreement will lay the groundwork for future campaigns in the South to unionize.”

Break the Majority is an NCDP campaign to end the Republican supermajority in the legislature. It has about sixty employees.

Aim Higher Now, which has fourteen workers, is a project of North Carolina Citizens for Protecting Our Schools that promotes investments in education, the environment, and expanded voting access.

Anthony Harrison started working as a field organizer for Break the Majority in September and, like most campaign employees, is passionate about the cause.

But that passion was pushed to its limits, he says, when he was pressured to go out in the field during an outbreak of gout.

“I thought, man, we should be unionized,” Harrison says. “The conditions driving the Break the Majority workers to unionize are largely those that prevail across the entire campaign industry—stuff like long hours, low wages, lack of a voice in work conditions—and they were all present here.”

Break the Majority voted to unionize in September and gained recognition from

the NCDP last month. While declining to go into the specifics of the collective bargaining agreement, Harrison says it contains a cap on work hours and a new discipline process for employees.

Aim Higher Now was able to negotiate a forty-hour workweek, says organizer Noreen Elnady. The industry standard is between eighty and one hundred hours.

“We saw this as a great opportunity to live the campaign’s values,” Elnady says. “[Aim Higher Now] is full of amazing people, and we, as a unit, decided that we want to give ourselves better hours and be leaders in that way.”

The Campaign Workers Guild, which represents twenty-eight campaigns nationwide, facilitated negotiations for both unions. While a guild representative has a seat at the bargaining table, the workers drive the process, says guild secretary Ihaab Syed.

Break the Majority and Aim Higher Now are the first North Carolina campaigns to unionize with the guild. As such, Syed says, “there’s a good chance they are the first set of political workers to unionize in North Carolina ever”—an important benchmark that could encourage other campaign workers to collectively bargain for better working conditions.

“One of the great things we’re doing is we’re helping empower a huge group of workers to do contract negotiations,” Syed says. “That’s really important in an industry that has not been unionized before.”

North Carolina AFL-CIO president MaryBe McMillan applauded the workers’ efforts, saying it’s crucial for progressive organizations to “walk the walk.”

“The movement has to start from within, and if we say that we’re for justice and fairness, then we’ve got to respect our own workers’ rights to organize and have worklife balance and decent wages,” McMillan says. “It especially sets an example for other progressive organizations.” ltauss@indyweek.com

Style is a story we tell about ourselves.

P

By Brian Howe

ersonally, I became preoccupied with clothes at a young age. It started as far back as grade school, when I had strong fashion preferences whose influences elude me now.

Well, not all of them: My desire for Jams shorts and neon-colored Gotcha shirts is easily traced to the popularity of skate-and-surf culture in the late eighties. But where I got the idea that a white turtleneck with a gold herringbone chain and a cardigan was a sweet look, I’ll never know. Still, school-picture-day records from the time (complete with a rattail hairstyle, if you catch the right year) attest that I certainly did think so.

What was I copying with that look? In any case, my fashion sense has gone through lots of changes, lots of ups and downs, since then—many for the better, some, however improbably, for the worse.

There was the nineties high-school era of freely mingling punk and preppy clothes, which reflected my musical tastes of mall-punk and altrock and gangster rap. And there was a mercifully brief, very confusng post-high-school moment when I dabbled in raver: steel-bead necklaces, absurdly oversize JNCO jeans, that whole thing.

There was the diehard indie-rocker phase of nothing but band T-shirts and thrift-store finds, grommeted leather belts and chain wallets. There were also short, intermittent dalliances with a sort of Gappy youngprofessional look, at moments when I thought I might try a normal life, though I often felt like I was wearing a costume, and it would never stick.

And then there’s whatever the hell my style is now (it’s hard to see except in retrospect). It mainly consists of the flossiest things I can find at Plato’s Closet and vintage finds or modern reproductions of the skate-and-surf gear of my youth.

Though my style has come full circle in that way, it retains traces of these phases and all the others I’ve been through, like the rings of a tree. It’s just that now, well into adulthood, I can blend them into something richly my own. I can tell the whole story of my life through clothes. As you read and reflect on this issue, I hope you’ll see that you can, too. bhowe@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.7.18 | 9

Honorable Mentions

Social media helps local designers blend fashion and art, financial necessity and fashionable exclusivity

By James J. Hatfield

S

ometime between the rise of the internet and the dominance of social media, if you wanted to sell your own clothing brand online, you needed upfront money to start a website or to use online stores such as Big Cartel, Volusion, and Zazzle. These sites are geared toward sellers who have a large back stock of the same screen-printed T-shirt designs in multiple colorways.

But in the Instagram era, independent designers can explore their ideas on the smallest, most creative scale, with less start-up capital and no back stock. Selling one-of-a-kind pieces directly to customers, fashion artists can experiment instead of paying a carrier site fees that almost demand you make multiple copies of pieces to cover the cost.

“The Triangle fashion scene is on its way, but it’s still sort of being swept under the rug by the music scene and the visual arts scene,” says Durham-based designer Evita Loca (@evita_loca). “I still think some people feel like fashion should not be considered art.”

But Loca, who makes big-personality women’s wear that crosses the board from polka-dot goth dresses to cowhide bellbottoms, is one of the local people working to change that. Another is Durham’s Blaine Carteaux, who does vibey visuals and merchandising for local beatmusic collective Raund Haus, and who carries this aesthetic into his “re-upcycled” designs as Cool Boy 36, which are printed, bleached, or hand-painted on repurposed shirts.

Loca has a retail spot in downtown Durham at 115 Market Street, but she says she still gains most of her clientele online, as do many local designers outside the precincts of Runaway.

“Now that I’m making a lot of one-ofone pieces, I’m able to post something on Instagram as opposed to having to make

a listing on Big Cartel and sending some money to that,” says Carteaux, whose Instagram handle is @coolboyrebel. “I can send the same photos cross-platform to Facebook and Twitter as well, and just include a message to DM me for purchases.”

For designers working in these channels, exclusivity is both a financial necessity and a selling point. If there’s a limited amount of something, it’s automatically a “special edition,” which commands higher prices.

Even if you’re new to the fashion world, you can work within your budget for the upfront cost to make one piece, price it as one-of-a-kind, and profit.

“That whole notion started as, ‘Fuck, I don’t have any money. I can only make one of this.’ But people actually really appreciate that. There’s only one, so I better get it now,” Loca says.

Durham designer Donta Belivá, who goes by his brand’s moniker, Paradiso (@_ paradiso_), says he had his first encounter with the power of social media in fashion about three years ago, when his cousin in New York called him to come up for the summer and help him with a clothing brand he was starting. After making a shirt that caught the attention of then up-andcoming (but now incarcerated for weapon possession) rapper Bobby Shmurda, he learned the speed of feedback social media outlets can provide.

“In the time span of two hours, we got about four thousand likes, and we got a reply back from Bobby Shmurda asking to get one,” Belivá says. He’s sporting a Cool Boy 36 shirt, Gatorade-yellow, with a screen-printed face outline and chain links.

(Belivá says they met at a show they did together back in April, and he really liked Carteaux’s stuff.)

As opposed to conventional fashion, in which lines are kept under wraps for long periods of time and then released all at once, social media allows for a steady Jaylen Silver models Cool Boy 36 gear

stream of new creations. Belivá even lets people in on his mess-ups via Instagram.

For example, his story recently included a photo in which he stitched “PRIDD” instead of “PRIDE.” He thinks of Instagram as his “blackboard,” where he can toss out any idea at all, which gives him the freedom to move on to the next one.

“You have to produce; it doesn’t always have to be your best. It can just be your trail along the way. Just leave that trail of breadcrumbs, and that, in turn, becomes your stepping stones,” says Belivá. The rapid pace makes him prolific. “Instead of brainstorming so long, just send it out, boom, I’m getting feedback. It’s keeping me energized. Keeps me wanting to create more.”

It may be impossible not to find something you like nowadays, both for shoppers and for

Style

local designers in search of new inspiration, contacts, and collaborators.

“Just clicking through link after link after link of profiles, it’s that constant movement where you can find those niche areas and scenes,” says Carteaux. And Belivá says that when he first got into fashion, he used social media to see what had already been done in order to figure out what he could do.

“Trends seem to formulate like water or a herd of sheep,” he says. “If it seems to go this way, [Paradiso] is going completely rogue.

And why not?”

Why not indeed? Fashion is not widely seen as an art form outside of its true believers, which makes it a perfect site for a gritty, flourishing artistic underground. arts@indyweek.com

BRIEF

UNTUCK THE WORLD Last year, when I started seeing ads in The New Yorker for UNTUCKit, a new brand of men’s dress shirts designed to be worn untucked, my curiosity was piqued—not because I’m into dress shirts, but because it seemed like the epitome of a solution to a nonexistent problem.

You see, I’m an arts journalist. Outside of weddings and funerals, I’ve hardly tucked in a tail since the Clinton administration, and I’ve never paused to wonder if the hems of my old Urban Outfitters cowboy shirts were an issue. To me, they might as well have been marketing UNWRAPit, a new gum designed to be chewed with the wrapper off. Redundant at best, ridiculous at worst.

So when UNTUCKit opened its first North Carolina location in June, right here in Durham, I had to make the pilgrimage to The Streets at Southpoint to see what the tuck all the fuss was about. And hey, new H&M. The New Yorker, likely after someone in editorial went agog at the magazine’s own ads, also sent a correspondent to write a brief, humorous piece about UNTUCKit. Like him, I went in search of the mysteries of the hem, which is short and shallowly curved, as opposed to the usual sharp hip cutouts between long flaps. But a polished, keen-eyed salesperson—the experience is more like shopping for a household appliance or a car than a shirt; you try on a generic model and then choose your color—showed me I was on the wrong track.

As much as it’s about the hem, she explained, it’s about the slim-cut body, as if she had instantly, magically intuited both my skepticism about the former and my preference for the latter. I had to admit, the body fit great. I’ve owned shirts where someone was clearly like, “Make a fabric box, hang some tubes from the sides, stick a collar on top—shirt!” This wasn’t that. The sleeves were too billowy, but the double-button cuff would help, and I could have tried on that model if I were going to buy one.

I mean, I’m not. They’re expensive, around $100, and they’re just well-made Oxfords and pinstripes and stuff. It’s right there in the name: the blaring “UNTUCK,” the murmuring “it.”

The philosophy is rococo; the shirts are just shirts. They wouldn’t really go with my retro Swatches and printed tights. But if you have a real job and/or a life that has exiled you from the surgically lit precincts of H&M, you could do a lot worse. —Brian Howe INDYweek.com | 11.7.18 | 11

n my last day in Ethiopia, I visited a leather goods factory where women and men with HIV/AIDS make beautiful leather purses for the company Able. The Flourish Market sells goods from Able in its Raleigh store, where I had bought the clutch I was carrying, which was made in these very rooms. Everything was coming full circle. It had never occurred to me that a small boutique opening on the ground floor of my apartment building in Raleigh would lead me here.

Five years ago, I moved from Michigan to Raleigh, where I manage a team of consultants in the pharmaceutical industry. Two years ago, walking my dog each night, I saw a small, leased space in my building starting to transform.

Returning from a Thanksgiving-weekend trip, I was surprised to suddenly find a store filled with beautiful goods made by artisans across the globe. As I read the tags on the garments, I realized the place had a larger purpose: Every purchase was helping someone change the trajectory of his or her life.

The Flourish Market began as a fashion truck before opening its brickand-mortar store on Tucker Street in 2016. It partners with brands around the world that provide “dignified jobs and fair wages to inspiring artisans and makers in vulnerable communities.” It also donates a portion of sales from specific merchandise to Help One Now, a collective of churches, businesses, and individuals that financially support local leaders of populations in extreme poverty, especially those caring for orphans.

I loved the idea that my purchases could have a greater purpose. Why buy a shirt that was possibly made in a sweatshop when I could buy one made by a woman who has escaped human trafficking in Nepal? A new scarf that supports orphanages in India? A candle that provides meals to those in need?

That Christmas, I bought all my gifts from 12 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

As I got to know owner Em Sexton and her crew of amazing women, something started stirring inside me. When The Flourish Market partnered with Help One Now to build a home in Kairos Village in Peru for girls rescued from human trafficking, I realized that even a small stone can help build a home.

Em told me about the potential for a trip to Ethiopia to meet women my purchases

had helped sponsor into the Family Empowerment Program, which is funded

by Help One Now and run by local leaders in Ethiopia. I wanted to see the impact my shopping was having, to meet the people behind the work Help One Now is doing, and to figure out how I could support the growth of the Family Empowerment Program. As my trip to Ethiopia would show me firsthand, a garment from The Flourish Market is always so much more than just a pretty top.

W

e arrived in Addis Ababa on a Sunday morning after a thirteenhour flight from Washington, D.C. At the airport, we were greeted by Aschelew Abebe—the director of Kidmia and BLoved, local organizations Help One Now partners with—and Eyerusalem Halie, otherwise known as Jerry, a member of the Kidmia and BLoved teams.

We spent Sunday learning about the local leaders and Ethiopian history and visiting two shops.

“We may not have enough to give, but we have enough to share.”

The Flourish Market owner Em Sexton PHOTO COURTESY OF THE FLOURISH MARKET One was started by a woman who hires people who were considered outcasts because of ailments like leprosy, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS to make goods for a fair wage so they can buy medicine. The other was run by a woman who was inspired by the TOMS practice of giving away a pair of shoes for every pair sold. She employed weavers to make traditional blankets for a living wage in safe working conditions, which they weren’t accustomed to. She donates one blanket to women and children living in high elevations around Addis Ababa, who don’t have shelter to keep them warm, for every three sold.

On the second day, we set out for Gunchire, where we would meet women who had gone through the Family Empowerment Program and see one of the orphanages run

by BLoved and Kidmia. Meeting Bierke, the first woman ever enrolled in the Family Empowerment Program, was incredibly humbling. When she was chosen to attend the program, she was suffering from HIV, her husband was in prison for life, and her kids were not able to live with her. Five years later, she is thriving. Reunited with her children, all of whom are in school, she has multiple successful businesses.

Then we met with Tequemesh, who had received her business training about eight months ago. She started a coffee and tea shop in her neighborhood, where she now makes roughly $12 per day, as opposed to $1 as a day laborer. Her children no longer have to work during the daytime and are going to school. She is sending her son to university, which would have been unthinkable prior to starting her business.

On the third day, we traveled to Wailata Sodo to meet with more women who have gone through the program and one who is going to start soon. We spent a few days there, and we were able to get to know Emebet, who exemplifies doing good with your talents and gifts. She has seven children, and her husband was very ill and unable to work.

She went through the program and started a neighborhood coffee and tea shop, which has allowed her to employ women and to open a mini-shop—think very small convenience store—where she now employs her husband, because she was able to get him the medicine he needed. All seven of her kids are in school, and she has paid the school fees for five additional children.

Emebet also started a co-op with fifteen women who meet weekly to help one another grow their businesses. Asked why she does what she does to help others in her community, Emebet said that “We may not have enough to give, but we have enough to share.”

Her words have encouraged me to share what I am given, and my time in Ethiopia is something for which I’ll be forever grateful.

I will never forget the spirit and tenacity of the women we met; they continue to serve as inspiration when I’m faced with adversity. Since returning home, I have sponsored a child in Gunchire through Help One Now. On Thanksgiving, The Flourish Market is kicking off a campaign to sponsor thirty women in thirty days by raising $30,000 for Family Empowerment Program. It’s a great time to get involved, just in time for holiday shopping. arts@indyweek.com

Body Language

I used to hate how I looked in clothes. Then I learned to make them speak my truth.

By Allison Hussey

S

ome people style themselves with natural ease, as though they have a congenital intuition about the colors, shapes, textures, and patterns that signal their aspirations and hang gracefully from their bodies. I was never one of them. For most of my life, I gave little thought to clothes—or, if I did, those thoughts came from a place of frustration and intimidation. “Looking good” felt like an impossible ideal.

Then, two years ago, I volunteered to write a piece for the INDY’s 2016 Style Guide—our first ever—that sought to demystify clothes shopping for people who hated it as much as I did. Ashley McIntyre, a personal shopper, taught me some basic outfit-assembly skills and kindly encouraged me to try new possibilities for myself.

I expected the assignment to be a learning experience, but two years later, I now see that it actually changed my life.

I was a skinny child, to the point that it attracted regular comments from my family. I vividly remember my grandmother’s frequent exclamation: “Thin as a rail!” Then puberty hit, and as I started putting on weight, I could see

myself becoming The Fat One among my middle-school peers. I became ashamed of my body, so I started to hide it under boxy crewneck T-shirts, loose-fitting jeans, and oversize hoodies. I sought to repel anyone who might look my way.

For years, most of my decisions about clothing revolved around what I thought would make me least repulsive, least likely to attract the cruel comments that I heard about fat people everywhere in my life. I refused to wear shorts or tank tops during some summers because I considered myself too corpulent to enjoy such comforts in public. It seemed delusional to consider myself physically desirable or attractive, so feminine items like short skirts and flouncy dresses appeared to be absolutely off-limits to someone with a body like mine.

Following a serious illness and a lifelong autoimmune diagnosis in the summer of 2013, I gradually started easing up on myself. I could continue my active selfloathing and make myself sicker or accept my body as-is and focus on healing it. But my adventure with McIntyre ushered in a new era of how I felt about my clothes

and my body. I realized I could like clothes and like how I felt in them. Unusual prints and cuts began revealing themselves to me in ways that felt like magic, as with a homemade jungle-print dress I found at a thrift store. It fits as though a stylish angel with my measurements made it, as does an astonishing black-and-gold vintage jumpsuit I discovered during a recent procrastination-driven bout of thrifting.

At last, nothing feels like it’s off-limits: bright colors, high hems, velvet, accordion pleats, even sequins. Dear god, do I love sequins—the way they glimmer in any amount of light, the way their hushed rustle sounds like reverent whispers.

I’m still fat, and through these bold sartorial choices, I feel like I’m making up for all of those years of diminishing myself. I take up as much space as I want, delighting in the prospect of disgusting those who might take offense at a fat woman daring to flaunt herself. Learning how I want to dress myself—along with the understanding that I can do that however I fucking please—has carried the same wonder and thrill as learning a new language. I can translate my inner values,

moods, and personality into an outward manifestation that tells the truth about who I am.

When friends have commented on my noticeable change in style, I joke that I’ve lost my mind. But it feels more like finding a part of myself than losing one. My weird, outrageous clothes feel like a genuine reflection of my weird, outrageous self. I still wear T-shirts and jeans to work most days because I like them, not because I hate myself. I feel free, and not just because it turns out that skirts and dresses can be as comfortable as pajamas.

Changing my wardrobe hasn’t completely eradicated the body-image issues I’ve wrestled for more than fifteen years.

There are still days where I face myself in the mirror on the edge of tears, wishing it were possible to live some sort of shapeless, bodiless existence. But now, I have far fewer days of where regarding my body as a demilitarized zone feels like as good as it’s ever going to get. Developing my own style has helped me find a place where I can fully, finally enjoy being myself. I wouldn’t trade that for all the sequins in the world. ahussey@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.7.18 | 15

Fantastic Hypebeasts and Where to Find Them

By Brian Howe • Photos by Brett Villena

T

hough this is less and less the case in the Triangle, where the arts bleed across borders, most forms of selfexpression still tend to separate themselves. Art’s over here in the gallery, poetry’s over there in the bookstore, theater’s up on stage, and the dance party’s down in the basement.

But style? Style gets everywhere. It knows no limits, restricts itself to no certain expertise. It absorbs traits of the visual and dramatic arts. If you wear clothes—and we’re guessing you do— it’s unavoidable, not aspirational: You just have it. We sought fashion in all guises on the streets of the Triangle to capture it in the wild. Then we asked each of these Southern hypebeasts two questions. Their answers revealed that how we dress is as much about our sense of our own stories as it is about our sense of style.

TIMOTHY OCAMPO What is the first item of clothing you remember choosing yourself?

Nike Air Jordan Cement III sneakers.

How has your style changed in the last ten years?

My style has changed from being mainly streetwear to more professional overall, but still causal and comfortable.

JESS HENRY What is the first item of clothing you remember choosing yourself?

When I was younger, I saved two months’ pay at my first job ever to buy myself a Michael Kors leather jacket that I saw at a Nordstrom and had to have.

How has your style changed in the last ten years?

I’m constantly trying to make my closet more cohesive; versatility is key.

LUKE GAINES What is the first item of clothing you remember choosing yourself?

A custom-made hoodie from New York. It had a sky print with Aaliyah in the middle.

How has your style changed in the last ten years?

I’ve been moving away from mall-type brands and trying to find more unique pieces that represent me.

ALICIA SANDVE What is the first item of clothing you remember choosing yourself?

A good pair of skinny jeans.

How has your style changed in the last ten years?

I used to wear more bright colors and dress up a lot. But now, as a mother of two, I mainly wear neutrals—black and white. I like simple clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in.

Natural Extension

Grown in New York, styled in Raleigh, Nafisah Carter’s life in hair has deep roots in Durham

By Niki McNeill

G

rowing up with an entrepreneur mother, Nafisah Carter was raised in an environment where businessminded women were the norm. The Durham native spent many nights and weekends assisting her mother with her hair-accessories kiosk at Crabtree Valley Mall, developing her affinity for all things hair related. After getting a firsthand look at how hair can change someone’s entire look and, in turn, their lifestyle, Carter found her calling. She moved to New York and worked at the famed Rita Hazan Salon, which has counted the likes of Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez among its clients, where Carter personally worked with stars like R&B singer Tinashe and actor Debbie Allen. But now she’s brought her talents back to North Carolina, where she opened Nafisah’s Beauty Boutique in Raleigh. We reached her by phone while she was traveling in Australia to talk about growing her business, her favorite celebrity encounter, and the latest hair trends she sees here in the Triangle.

Colors?

Deep, warm colors—plums and deep reds are great for fall.

What about new treatments and technologies?

I specialize in hair extensions, and that is so in right now.

I am constantly getting calls about hair extensions. A lot of people are doing wigs as well, but I see that fading away soon. I choose which is better for that client based on their lifestyle. Extensions look more natural, and wigs can look more dramatic. Wigs are fun and great for television and film, but if you’re using glue on your hairline, they can be damaging to your natural hair.

If someone wants to upgrade their look, what’s the first thing they can do?

The first thing would be a great cut followed up with color.

But, of course, I have to recommend hair extensions, because that’s what I do all day every day, and I see the transformations it creates. I have a lot of people who come to me who have never had extensions before, and, afterwards, they feel so glamorous.

INDY: When did you get into the hair business?

NAFISAH CARTER: My cousin had a salon, and I would shampoo clients, answer the phone, and just do whatever she needed. I realized that people were making a lot of money. I graduated from Dudley Beauty College [in Durham], and I knew that I wanted to do celebrity hair.

So I moved to NYC and worked for the Rita Hazan Salon because it was a popular salon among celebrities. Upon returning to N.C., I opened my own studio.

How did Durham influence your work?

I was born in Jersey but moved to N.C. as a baby. My mother owned a hair-accessories company based in Raleigh but would often travel back to New York City to source her items. So, although I grew up in Durham, I was familiar with NYC from making trips with my mom. I adjusted really fast to the NYC lifestyle, because you have no choice!

How did you mom’s entrepreneurship journey influence you?

My mom and dad both were entrepreneurs, and we would help out as kids. She would show us how to set up and tell us about the product, but I really didn’t know, as a child, that I was learning from that. I just thought it was fun. Rita was another influence, working for her in NYC, because I saw her traveling and working with celebrities.

What’s one of your favorite celebrity-encounter stories?

Debbie Allen stands out so much to me because I am blown 20 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

After the initial install of extensions, how frequently are you seeing your clients?

Every six to eight weeks for the extensions and biweekly visits for shampooing and conditioning. In between, I recommend minimizing heat on the hair. I always tell my clients to only use heat once a week and to secure a satin scarf before sleeping at night.

Nafisah Carter PHOTO COURTESY OF DIVINE INFLUENCE PR away by her! When I did her hair, she was so nice and welcoming and fun. I just love her. A lot of times, people who are in the spotlight don’t have a lot of time to be personable, but she was just laughing and warm.

What are you seeing as trends for hair in the Triangle area?

The trend right now is sleek, shiny bobs. Hair parted down the middle as well. Bobs really never go out of style; they just change a little bit and come right back. Beach waves—messy effortless hair—are still in and probably won’t go anywhere for a while. The big nineties supermodel hairstyle is out.

Different variations of ponytails are also popular.

Tell us about the name of your hair line.

I started with Indian hair, and the name Pyara means “lovely” in Hindi. Now I’m sourcing hair from India, Peru, and Brazil. I have developed relationships with my vendors virtually, and I’m excited to visit them soon. It’s almost like we’ve become friends because I’m known them for so long.

Tell us about your current trip to Australia, where I’m reaching you now.

Black Hair Australia started because they realized that people in Australia with highly textured hair did not have resources like we have in America to care for their hair.

I’ll spend one week in Sydney and one week in Melbourne serving women from all over Australia. I met a lady during this trip who hadn’t had her hair done in seven years. It’s very touching, and everyone is very thankful. arts@indyweek.com

Fashion Plates

Chefs tap local potters to craft serveware that blends function and style, surprise and delight

By Layla Khoury-Hanold

M

ichelle Vanderwalker guides me past the herb garden and the pantry shelves of preserves and pickles destined for cocktails at Kingfisher, the Durham cocktail bar she plans to open early next year with her husband, Sean Umstead.

Then she leads me through the backyard to her home studio. This airy space, outfitted with a custom-built slab roller, a massive work table, and shelves and shelves of ceramic prototypes, is where Vanderwalker hand makes all of Kingfisher’s ceramic cups, coasters, and bar-top tiles, in addition to serveware for restaurants such as Counting House and St. Roch Fine Oysters + Bar. Vanderwalker is one of several talented local potters who, in addition to producing their own lines of work, collaborate with Triangle chefs and restaurants to create custom serveware that blends form, function, and style. What you eat and drink from may seem like a subtle part of the restaurant experience, but in a time when local food is an often-copped buzzword, chefs who are as intentional about their plates as they are about their ingredients are creating truly local restaurants. And at a time when diners are more discerning than ever, with more choices, these types of design details have the power to distinguish one restaurant experience from another.

“It’s not necessarily something that people think about going into restaurants. They’re not going to go in and be disappointed that their serveware isn’t unique. But I think it’s a really nice surprise, and I think surprises are a really underrated element of the dining experience,” Vanderwalker says. “If you can be a little bit surprised and delighted by a detail such as the serveware being unique, and then you ask about it and find out that it’s made by someone locally, that elevates your experience of that restaurant.”

A beautifully handcrafted plate reflects the level of care that a chef puts into preparing 22 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

and serving a dish, especially since we eat with our eyes first. And though there is some uniformity, each ceramic piece is truly unique, due to the variety of clays, glazes, and firing processes. Noticing the subtle flecks or textures on a plate adds another visual element to eating—or Instagramming—a dish.

Kingfisher’s cups add texture and a tactile element you might not otherwise get when you’re sipping a cocktail. Holding one of

Kingfisher’s rocks glasses, it sits differently in your hand than a glass one; and even if you didn’t notice it was ceramic, you can’t miss the short spikes protruding from its sides.

Ditto that for the fruit-and-vegetable relief on the tiki mugs, which also serve as a subtle nod to Kingfisher’s produce-driven cocktails.

“There’s texture on the mug. There’s something tactile, so it feels different than holding a clear glass in your hand,” Vanderwalker says. “It’s fun to get a different cup—it feels like it’ll be a different experience before you taste it.”

Working with local potters also shows that chefs care about community. It’s more expensive, but besides getting a unique product, they’re also supporting local businesses. And for chefs who are diligent about ingredient sourcing, it makes sense to apply the same diligence to their dishware.

“To me, I look at it the same way I source our food. I want to create a relationship. I would like to get to know those people, know their history and story,” Jake Wood, chef de cuisine at Raleigh’s 18 Seaboard, says. “It brings a lot more to the plate when you start to talk about your ingredients. And I treat our plates just like an ingredient. It’s the main ingredient of our dishes, so to speak, because it’s our blank background.”

As a result, 18 Seaboard’s salmon and turquoise spring-summer plates will make way for others with a neutral color palette and a more rustic feel for fall-winter. Last year, Wood started working with Matt Hallyburton, of Hallyburton Pottery in Rutherford College in Western North Carolina. All of Hallyburton’s work is handmade using North Carolina clay, some of which he digs himself, and is fired in a wood-burning kiln, whose ashes and flames leave subtle, unique markings on each piece.

In addition to the stripped-back color palette, Hallyburton’s new line for 18 Seaboard reflects his philosophy of creating plates that are harmonious with the food.

Wood says the new plates really allow the colors and textures of the fall ingredients to pop. Slices of rosy duck breast are fanned out alongside a butternut squash mustard, a lavender-hued muscadine whip, and green Brussels sprouts, whose charred, caramelized edges pick up the speckles of the plate’s own wood-fire ashes.

As 18 Seaboard finalizes its fall-winter menu development and plating style, Wood provides feedback to Hallyburton to inform the final look and feel of the plates.

“We can collaborate the same way we would with a farmer,” Wood says. “The same way we might need a different size or quantity of a vegetable, we can collaborate with Matt on the size, edges, and rims of the plate.”

Mark Warren and Chris Pence, co-owners of Haand, a pottery company in Burlington, took a similar collaborative approach when working with chef Michael Lee at M Sushi. It was also a keen reminder that, no matter how beautiful, the pieces had to be functional.

Warren recalls one sculptural piece that ultimately made a better paperweight than a plate, and that they steered away from creating pieces that curved inward too much, because they collected water in the dishwasher.

Besides being functional and aesthetically pleasing, tableware can help reflect a chef’s overall vision for a restaurant. When Ashley Christensen opened Death & Taxes, her restaurant devoted to cooking with wood fire, she tapped Haand.

“Surprises are a really underrated element of the dining experience.”

“Ashley had a clear idea of what her menu was going to be and the colors she wanted. It was really important to have a foundation to build on, not only the function of the plates but also as a design element within the restaurant,” Warren says.

Because Death & Taxes is housed in a former bank, Warren used money as inspiration to develop the specific shades of brown, gray, and green for the restaurant’s serveware: copper pennies, silver dimes, green bills.

“It’s referencing it but not making it in your face,” Warren says. “It doesn’t matter if the customer knows that it’s referencing money or the history of the place as a bank, but it’s part of that experience. It seems to be clear that someone chose that color, a specific kind of green.”

The glazes also incorporate leftover wood ash from Death & Taxes’ grill, so depending on the type of wood the kitchen uses, the ash and glaze melt differently, creating varying rivulets and ripples. And the texture can skew more toward a crème brûlée-like finish or something smoother, depending on the temperature or thickness of the glaze, or where the piece sits in the kiln.

“You want some element of chaos because that’s what creates that indefinable thing that makes it good and different,” Warren says. laylakh@indyweek.com

JUSTIN LAIDLAW (RUNAWAY MEDIA DIRECTOR) What is the first item of clothing you remember choosing yourself?

In high school, I had this full-velour tracksuit that was burgundy and black that I wore year-round.

How has your style changed in the last ten years?

My view of style has completely changed, especially since working with a clothing brand. I used to dress how I assumed people expected me to, but I have learned to see style as an appreciation of one’s identity, and acknowledge how things as simple as clothing can be used to reinforce important ideas. baby clothes, or art for your home.

TRIANGLE BAKERS CRAFT THANKSGIVING PIES WITH EQUAL MEASURES TRADITION, LOCAL INGREDIENTS, AND CREATIVITY

BY LAYLA KHOURY-HANOLD

P

refer to leave the baking to the pros?

With creative riffs on the classics and one-of-a-kind pies you won’t find anywhere else, these local bakers have your Thanksgiving dessert table covered.

UNION SPECIAL BREAD

Before he devoted his time to perfecting his own bread and baked goods recipes, Andrew Ullom spent seven years as Ashley Christensen’s executive pastry chef. Next year, he and his wife Jess will open Union Special Bread, a full-scale bakery and cafe in Raleigh, but till then, you can get a taste at pop-ups at Videri Chocolate Factory and via a stellar lineup of Thanksgiving pies. If you really want to take home bragging rights, opt for either the smooth, super-rich Videri dark milk chocolate malt, or the persimmon chess pie, made with locally grown persimmons from Burkett Farm in Cary.

“Chess pie is usually super sweet, and I’m backing down the sugar considerably to help the persimmon shine. Native persimmon tends to be a bit astringent even when fully ripe, and I think it’s a really cool ‘texture’ to play with,” Ullom says. “The fruit puree has a ‘fruit leather’ or dried flavor to it, and I’m using yellow corn flour from Geechie Boy Mill on Edisto Island, South Carolina to brighten that up a bit.”

In addition to a pie or two, order a dozen cookies—the chocolate chip are a sure bet, but don’t sleep on the Geechie Boy Mill blue cornmeal.

EAST DURHAM BAKE SHOP

Ali Rudel earned a loyal following for her scratch-made pies and signature flaky crust long before she and her husband Ben opened East Durham Bake Shop in March. They still make every pie, galette, and croissant by hand using seasonal, local ingredients—and their Thanksgiving pies are no exception.

The sweet potato pie features slowly roasted local sweet potatoes sweetened with brown sugar and a touch of local sorghum syrup; the bourbon caramel apple pie sees a mix of North Carolina-grown apples tossed with a homemade bourbonspiked caramel sauce, tucked beneath a beautiful lattice crust topper; and the honey bourbon pecan pie is sweetened with

local wildflower honey and amped up with a splash of bourbon.

“I’m not a huge fan of overly sweet sweets and we tend to keep the sugar on the lower end in most of our pies, but both the bourbon caramel apple and the honey bourbon pecan are pies that could easily be very sweet. Adding bourbon to these pies is not to make them boozy but to create a nice depth of flavor in two pretty sweet pies,” Rudel explains.

Visit www.eastdurhambakeshop. com/thanksgiving for more information; orders can be placed in person at the shop or by calling 919957-1090. East Durham Bake Shop will also offer a limited number of pies on pickup days at the bakery and at PopUp @ American Tobacco, where it is the featured food vendor this month.

“She was from Sea Level, North Carolina, which is about as coastal as you can get.

I don’t remember any occasion in my childhood where her lemon pies were not the dessert of choice,” Tomblin says.

“My mom always used Ritz crackers, just enough butter to hold it together, and lemon juice. I use Meyer lemons, which are a little sweeter and less acidic, and my meringue is better—sorry mom—it’s not as syrupy sweet. But for me, that one is the one—that’s up with aThanksgiving to me.”

JACK TAR & THE COLONEL’S DAUGHTER

CHECK MATE

Pie author Sara Foster’s chess pie recipe is a Thanksgiving winner— and it’s easy as pie

By Layla Khoury-Hanold

W

hen Sara Foster was growing up in Tennessee, Sunday lunches meant two things: gathering around the dining room table in her granny Foster’s kitchen and homemade pie.

Over the last two decades, Foster has earned a loyal following at Foster’s Market, her Durham market and cafe where she makes and serves the same kind of homey, scratch-made dishes she grew up eating. And that includes pie; they get year-round top billing, but especially this time of year. The day before Thanksgiving is Foster’s Market’s busiest day, when they sell hundreds of pies, including flavors such as apple sour cream, key lime, and chocolate chess.

Foster is happy to bake pies for others, but with her newest book Pie, which was released in September as part of UNC Press’s Savor the South series, Foster wants to spread the pie gospel by sharing her favorite recipes, memories, and tips and tricks.

Foster firmly believes that there’s a reason for the saying “easy as pie,” but perhaps no pie exemplifies this more than chess pie, a Southern pie made with a simple custard filling of sugar, butter, eggs, milk, and cornmeal, with classic versions including buttermilk, vinegar, lemon, or chocolate.

Foster spoke to INDY Week about her love of pie and how chess pie really is the easiest pie ever. She doesn’t scoff at premade crust, but her recipe for Everyday Flaky Piecrust makes the case for trying your hand at homemade crust; either way, Granny Foster’s Chess Pie is all that separates you from pie novice to pro (find both recipes at www.indyweek.com).

If you want to learn more about Pie or have pie-making questions, stop by Foster’s upcoming book events on November 11 at 12:00 p.m. at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh or November 17 at 2:00 p.m. at McIntyre’s Books at Fearrington Village in Pittsboro.

PIE, FOR ME

As told to Layla Khoury-Hanold Even before the open-kitchen concept was really popular, granny Foster’s kitchen was always an open-kitchen concept.

She had a big dining room table in her kitchen (she had a huge kitchen), and that was just kind of the scene where we all gathered, whether cooking, eating, or talking. That was her dining room.

Granny Foster made one of two things for Sunday lunch: fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and, depending on the season, if it were summer, we’d have something like creamed corn or green beans from the garden. Her other typical Sunday lunch was pot roast.

With pot roast, she’d do the typical potatoes and carrots around the pot roast, and then we would have the same kind of thing on the side, green beans or squash casserole or sliced tomatoes; in

Lemon chess pie from Foster’s Market PHOTO BY SARA FOSTER summer, it might be fried okra or peas out of the garden. We all participated in some way, whether it was setting the table, getting things out of the garden, peeling fruit, or cracking the eggs.

There was always pie for dessert. Often it was a chess pie, mainly because she would have those ingredients in her pantry. That was also my sister and mom’s favorite pie growing up (my dad and I loved chocolate meringue), so we always had that pie at Sunday lunch and on every holiday table.

Chess pie was also a Southern favorite from early on. Because of the amount of sugar these pies contain, they could be kept in a pie chest before there was refrigeration, and they traveled well. There are many stories about the origin of the name for the chess pie.

Some say the name “chest pie” is said to have been shortened with the Southern dialect to “chess pie.” Others say the name came from “It’s just pie,” changing to “chess pie” as it was misunderstood with the slurring of the words.

I think, too, it has become such a classic pie because it’s one of those things where you always have everything on hand to make it, so it becomes easy for people to make. There’s not a lot of cutting, peeling, dicing, or, as with other custard pies, making the custard and getting it to the right consistency. Chess pie is just mixing the ingredients in a bowl and putting it in a pie shell and baking it, so you can put it together in ten or fifteen minutes.

The other great thing about chess pie is that it can easily take on other flavors, like vanilla, brown sugar, buttermilk, chocolate, lemon juice, or a little extra nutmeg. In mine, I add cardamom, which I love with buttermilk. At Foster’s Market, we do a lemon chess pie, and we drop pieces of fruit in it like raspberries or strawberries, so you occasionally get a bite of fruit.

Chess pie brings back a lot of memories for me, but I also love it just for the simplicity of its flavors. It’s just so good and so rich and so simple in its own right. laylakh@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.7.18 | 29

JACK Quartet PHOTO BY SHERVIN LAINEZ

“I

t’s actually sort of hard to get a space dark,” says John Pickford Richards, a violist in New York’s JACK Quartet. “Even if there’s just an exit sign in a room or, like, a wireless router, after fifteen minutes in the dark, that becomes as bright as the sun, and you can see everything.”

Richards would know. The JACK Quartet has been performing darkness for nearly a decade now, specifically for a pair of quartets

by Austrian composer Georg Friedrich Haas that are meant to be performed in the dark.

“What we strive for,” Richards explains, “is the kind of darkness where you wave your hands in front of your eyes, and you don’t see any difference.”

Performing in that kind of darkness provides certain logistical challenges. Musicians rely on their eyes for so many things, large and small; in the dark, they can’t see their music, their bandmates, or even their instruments. Even the simple act of placing the bow correctly on the strings becomes a leap of faith—a small shift in the contact

point has profound effect on the resulting sound. Musicians rely on visual cues among each other to align an entrance or agree on a beat, which also goes out the window when the lights go out.

“If I know we’re supposed to hold on to something for five seconds, then do something else. If I have my vision, I am waiting for five seconds—I’m aware of the time, but I see when we move on,” Richards says. “Without the vision, the same thing happens, but the way I know to move on is

26th Biannual a much more felt and shared experience.

There’s no leader in that moment. We’re all literally on the edge of our seats, listening as intently as we can to each other. It’s a game of chicken, a little bit.”

Since its founding in 2005, the JACK Quartet—violinists Christopher Otto and Austin Wulliman, violist Richards, and cellist Jay Campbell—has built a reputation as a fierce proponent of contemporary classical music. The ensemble revels in the most rhythmically intricate, conceptually dense, or sonically challenging scores around, demonstrating the inherent musicality and beauty of all of these works. For them, Haas’s challenge of playing in darkness is just another day in the office, one difficult compositional instruction amongst many. And, as with so many of those instructions, the payoff is worth it in the unexpected and intense musical experience it creates.

When the JACK first appeared at Duke in 2012, they performed Haas’s third quartet, written in 2001 and subtitled “In iij. Noct.,” in a black box theater on campus.

The darkness was thick and total, save for a single, faint pinprick of light sneaking in through the door. Ethereal timbres slowly emerged from the four corners of the room, a mix of gentle knocks, screaming harmonics, grinding noise, sumptuous chords, and glittering melodies.

For that work, Haas gets around the constraints of darkness by writing the piece as a highly structured improvisation.

He gives players instructions for various musical scenarios as well as ways for the players to invite each other to move between them. Richards describes it as “a game of improvisation with a bunch of rules to be manipulated and broken, and there’s a system for every response to what we do, so every performance is different.”

The work ends with a wobbly reimagination of music for the Catholic Tenebrae service by the late-sixteenthcentury composer Carlo Gesualdo.

The 2012 performance at Duke was sumptuous and wholly engrossing. I found myself involuntarily turning in my chair, trying to absorb all the different possible permutations of the music as it cascaded around the room. Robbed of my sight, I noticed my ears becoming so much more attuned to every stray flicker of sound, and I found myself becoming a listening machine.

I was almost disappointed when the lights came back up at the end of the show.

Over the years, JACK has performed Haas’s third quartet dozens of times, enough that they caught the attention of the composer himself, and they quickly

became friends and collaborators. He has since written two pieces for them: the conventionally lit eighth quartet in 2014 and a return to the darkness in the ninth in 2016. This new work with the lights out differs from its predecessor in a few critical ways. Where the older work was built around improvisation and chance, this new piece is almost entirely through-composed, meaning the quartet had to memorize all forty-five minutes of it. Instead of splaying the quartet around the room, Haas places the group sitting in a regular quartet configuration. And, most importantly, Haas bases much of the harmonic language on a tuning system called “just intonation,” one of JACK’s specialties.

Much of Western music from the past two hundred and fifty years is written in “equal temperament,” a tuning system where the space between any two notes on the piano is the same. It’s a compromise that allows for greater flexibility to move between different keys at the expense of harmonic purity. Just intonation flips that compromise on its head, using the overtone series with its simple mathematical ratios as its base. The space between any two notes on a piano in just intonation would vary wildly, making it hard to move between keys. But a chord tuned in just intonation sounds uncanny, with all the pitches locking together to create a single, pulsating mass. Thus, the same chord in equal temperament and in just intonation would sound totally different, like distant dialects of the same language. To say that the JACK Quartet is obsessed with just intonation would be an understatement.

“We are sort of backwards,” Richards says. “We prefer just intonation, and it’s equal, tempered space that messes with our brains. We actually don’t even allow ourselves to go into that world too often.”

In the ninth quartet, Haas pits the two systems against each other, juxtaposing a melody in one space with harmonies from the other, and visa versa. The results are a towering, trembling drone that constantly folds in on and reinvents itself.

This is where darkness proves so critical to experiencing and understanding the piece. Every odd harmonic shift takes on an extra charge, a vivacity, a profound newness. There are no cues to grab hold of from the quartet or even from your neighbors in the audience. In a way, the darkness provides a kind of visceral purity analogous to the harmonic purity of those just intonation chords, something that must be experienced to be fully understood. music@indyweek.com

WITH ANIMAL COMPANIONSHIP, OWEN ASHWORTH EXAMINES THE INTIMACY BETWEEN PEOPLE, PLACES, AND PETS BY NICK GALLAGHER

T

he most striking lyrics can be those that feel haunting as they capture specific, complicated emotions that can be otherwise difficult to put into words.

Advance Base’s Owen Ashworth frequently achieves that hard-to-reach, eerie resonance.

Even the boring, mundane, and ordinary elements of Ashworth’s fictional worlds are laid out in painstaking detail. While his characters remain cloudy and indistinct, the particulars of Ashworth’s stories—econolines, aquatoriums, coffee brewing, and crossword puzzles—offer intimate connections to his music.

Animal Companionship, which Ashworth released in September, presents Ashworth’s storytelling with unprecedented clarity, although the hook of his earlier material remains mostly intact. In the late nineties, Ashworth earned a devoted following under the name Casiotone for the Painfully Alone by pairing dreamy chords played through warbly electric keyboards with meditative, understated lyrics. Those hallmarks have carried over to Ashworth’s more recent work under the Advance Base moniker and endure even in this record, although these hazy songs are tinged with new murmurs of nostalgia and timelessness.

Since 2012, Ashworth’s focus has been running Orindal Records, a label named for the town of Orinda, California, where much of his family is from. The label is a passion project that promotes and showcases selfrecorded artists and the “gentle weirdos and melancholic introverts” of the music world.

Dear Nora, Julie Byrne, Karima Walker, and Lisa/Liza have all generated niche audiences of their own while abiding by a DIY ethos under Orindal’s wing. Orindal’s roster also includes Durham’s Autumn Ehringer, who issued her debut tape as Moon Racer, Is It Really a Secret?, earlier this year.

Ashworth says that running an experimental label is something he’s always 32 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

wanted to do. But while Ashworth never stopped writing songs, he found his priorities shifting.

“It got to the point that I was finding [labelrelated work] more satisfying than working on my own music,” he says.

For Animal Companionship, however, Ashworth found the impetus he was looking for while collaborating with long-time friend and former bandmate Jason Quever, whose producing and engineering credits include records by Beach House and Cass McCombs.

Quever produced Animal Companionship at a new studio in Los Angeles, and Ashworth describes the recording process as almost unbelievably smooth and efficient. After a week spent tracking demos in Los Angeles, Ashworth returned to his home in Oak Park, Illinois to let those ideas incubate for several months. It took just one more week of recording to complete the album.

What results is a collection of songs that is expertly restrained. There’s no clutter, superfluous instrumentation, or ornate gimmicks.

Ashworth’s narrative-driven lyrics, sung in quiet, hushed tones hold added weight over lush synthesizers, the vintage hum of a Rhodes piano, and shuffling electric drum patterns.

The album’s tracks are broadly about love and longing for old friends, lost relationships, and even our pets. Ashworth jokingly admits that he tends to be a cat person. However, lately, he’s noticed the intense bonds many of his friends share with their canine companions.

Animal lovers will find plenty of nods to dogs throughout Animal Companionship, but the album is really about how human relationships are augmented and framed by our pets— how pets often act as vessels for memories we can’t quite hold on to.

“The kind of love that people have for their pets … is a very specific type of thing in the way that, I don’t know, animals kind of become a proxy for different kinds of human relationships,” Ashworth explains.

Owen Ashworth PHOTO BY JEFF MARINI The first track of Animal Companionship, “True Love Death Dream,” tells the heartbreaking story of a teenager who dies in a car crash and symbolically lives on through his girlfriend’s dog, in name and in spirit.

“It was true love, don’t ever let them tell you any different,” Ashworth cries out over droning synthesizers. The album’s closing track, in which a woman sends messages to her dog over the answering machine to keep him company, is innocent, sweet, and pure.

While animal-human relationships are at the heart of this album thematically, Gary, Indiana, and the Midwest more generally, act as the album’s geographic center.

“You see the worst part of Gary going through on the highway [toward Chicago],” Ashworth recalls. “It’s very striking, and you’re just kind of reminded of the perils of urban living. It’s, like, a lot of oil refineries and urban decay, and it’s rough.”

With the intention of breaking his stereotypes and assumptions of Gary and other cities along the Rust Belt, Ashworth vowed to spend more time in the area. While driving around and exploring, he found another side of the city that was beautiful, even in its ruggedness and brutality, which made its way onto the album. That juxtaposition is most apparent in “Christmas in Nightmare City,” which follows a lonely narrator as he or she wanders through a melancholic universe of refineries, gas stations, and college football games. The specifics of Ashworth’s songwriting, even when describing

the mundane and trivial (“Stopped for half a tank of gas/plus some Skittles and a diet Sprite”), make these songs feel lived in and literary. The primary joy of these songs is unraveling their meaning and learning new insights hidden behind all the simplicity, which is something that Ashworth finds exciting as well.

“Sometimes, I’ll be at a show, in the middle of singing it and realize that maybe there’s something subconscious going on that hadn’t occurred to me,” Ashworth recalls.

The cover art for Animal Companionship features the work of Jessica Seamans and typography from Dan Black, who make up the Midwestern art duo LANDLAND. When Ashworth mentioned that he’d like to feature a dog on the cover, Seamans, who frequently creates grim horror movie posters asked, “Should it be, like, a sinister dog?”

Although Ashworth found the idea amusing, he explained that he had something different in mind for the record. He wanted the dog to be warm and approachable—a visual representation of man’s best friend. “‘Kind eyes’ became the guiding principle for her,” Ashworth explains.

That’s the idea that Ashworth took to heart, too. Through perplexing life events, lonely despair, or painful memories, when a dog, ignorant of all the ills of the world, greets us with a wagging tail and kind eyes, it’s somehow the perfect relief, even if only for a few brief moments. music@indyweek.com

FUCKED UP DIVES HEADFIRST INTO A NEW CHAPTER OF ITS LABYRINTHINE MYTHOLOGY ON DOSE YOUR DREAMS

BY PATRICK WALL

L

ike 2011’s David Comes to Life, Dose Your Dreams, the fifth record from incomparable Canadian hardcore omnivores Fucked Up, is a heavily conceptual album. It is staggering in both scope and stretch.

But where David Comes to Life was the portrait of the artists as a young band, Dose Your Dreams is Fucked Up’s Ulysses. Like James Joyce’s masterwork, it’s a dense and sprawling text marked by intricate nuance and complexity. Its streamof-consciousness narrative is so stuffed with characters and tangential ideas that it should really come with footnotes.

At the center of Dose Your Dreams’ psychedelic storm is David Eliade, the protagonist of David Comes to Life. But the story isn’t solely his; there’s also Joyce Tops, an aging radical who lost the love of her life, Lloyd, who’s lost in void. There’s also time travel, anarchy, simulated universes, suicide, and the crushing yoke of capitalism. It’s damn near impossible to follow without a lyrics sheet; even with one, it’s still mostly impossible. (Like Ulysses, anyone who claims to completely understand Dose Your Dreams, or to have finished it without taking a substantial break, is probably lying to you.)

But enjoying the record isn’t predicated on following its Byzantine story arc. In the way that its narrative cycles through voices, Dose Your Dreams continually pushes in new directions, jumping from sprinting hardcore to dark New Wave, gauzy shoegaze, burly rave-friendly psychedelia, and beyond. Fucked Up has never been a band that’s let itself be constrained within the boundaries of punk and hardcore, but Dose Your Dreams attempts to go everywhere and do everything. In that way, it is a work that is at once maddening and marvelous.

A few days before the band launched a six-week tour, Fucked Up guitarist Mike Haliechuk, who wrote the bulk of Dose Your Dreams, spoke with us about balancing fatalism and idealism, the

There’s a narrative thread kind of runs through Dose Your Dreams that you’re telling through David, Joyce, and Lloyd and the other characters in there. Why return to that approach?

I like writing a narrative. There was some quote, I think it was from Yeats or something. Somebody asked if he was interested in writing free verse, and his reply was something to the effect of, “Writing free verse poetry is like playing tennis without a net.” [Ed. note: It was Robert Frost who said that.] I like to have a box to work inside. I like telling a story. I like having a line to draw in.

And it’s just a fun way to write, and it’s an easier way to justify telling stories about your own experience, to put a little artifice into it.

Fucked Up PHOTO BY JOHN LODONO perpetuating ideals of punk and a certain Irish author’s convoluted masterpiece.

INDY: Is the crux of Dose Your Dreams this push and pull between fatalism and idealism?

MIKE HALIECHUK: For me, it’s a very hopeful project. It’s a fatalistic hope. I won’t see another world in my lifetime, and my children probably won’t, either.

But the thing is, I’m a musician, so I sort of do live in a different world, you know? I’ve never had a real job. And my work is going around playing music for people, and for an hour, you hope that those people, they live in a different world as well. So much of my life is living in a different world than everybody else. So that’s weird, too.

Dose Your Dreams is also rooted the ideals of punk in terms of its underlying ethos: questioning the status quo, shrug-

ging off the yoke of restrictive norms, embracing agency and your dreams, and working to turn those dreams into your reality. How do you process those kinds of ideals differently now than when you were a teenager and diving headlong into punk and what that meant?

When I was a teenager, I thought that all my dreams would come true. As an idealistic teenager, you don’t have an experience yet with the hardness of the world.

You think society is this malleable thing that you get to grow up into and have a say about because you haven’t learned the harsh lessons. The work I did when I was a kid was to change the world in a real way, and now it’s just sort of like, “Ugh.” Being an idealistic adult is sort of like a tribute to that, and in the hope that you’re just passing some kind of idealism back down to younger people now to carry that dream into the next generation or whatever.

It’s interesting that you bring up free verse, because I’ve found that a lot of my reference points for Dose Your Dreams have been literary, and not musical.

Like, I can more easily compare it to something like James Joyce’s Ulysses or Huxley’s Brave New World.

The Ulysses comparison is very apt, because that’s what it is, you know? This record is meant to be a loose retelling of that book. There [are] a lot of parallels in there to find. There’s a ton of shit in there that I put in as parallels, like the song titles and story mood and the characters. It’s all in there. The Joyce character comes from there, and there’s eighteen songs, and the last one is from the woman’s perspective. And the pastiche of different musical styles is meant to be a reflection of different writing styles in the novel. The feel of it is just trying to be this modernist thing where it’s very loose. The narrative is sort of all over the place, but it’s more about the feel of the thing rather than the story. And it’s just about being free and feeling free in this world. music@indyweek.com INDYweek.com | 11.7.18 | 33

ART STUDIOS ABOVE LOCAL 506

We all know downtown Chapel Hill is hurting for visualart space, which is why we’re taking notice of this new open studio night before they’ve even named it. This Second Friday and reportedly others to come will find newly occupied artist studios on West Franklin Street, above Mint and Local 506, inviting art walkers inside to view work by different local artists each month. This Friday, it starts with studio resident Amanda Barr, the longtime Triangle artist and owner of Bowbarr, plus new drawings and paintings by Bill Thelen, former longtime director of Raleigh’s Lump project space, and Conner Calhoun, its current special projects coordinator. In other studios, you can peruse The Concern Newsstand, Orvokki Crosby’s art-book-and-zines project; photography in Lindsay Metivier’s digital lab; and new figurative paintings by Ben Hamburger. The giant proportions of his squashed figure, seen above, are indicative of the energy you’ll find packed into these enticing new spaces. —Brian Howe 506 A WEST FRANKLIN STREET, CHAPEL HILL 6–9 p.m., free, no website 34 | 11.7.18 | INDYweek.com

NELL PAINTER: OLD IN ART SCHOOL

Since moving to Durham a few years ago, Iron & Wine’s Sam Beam hasn’t made a habit of playing many shows around the Triangle, making this Raleigh gig a relatively rare treat. Centralized around gently poetic lyrics, Beam’s songs have the coziness of an heirloom quilt, thanks in large part to Beam’s singularly warm croon. In both his narratives and his instrumentation, the songwriter specializes in wry turns and subtle movements, which are evident even amid the denser, jazz-leaning arrangements on 2011’s Kiss Each Other Clean and 2013’s Ghost on Ghost. With last year’s excellent Beast Epic, Beam returned to the acousticforward format that most made him famous and delivered yet another batch of impeccable tunes. This weekend, he borrows the North Carolina Symphony’s home court of Meymandi Concert Hall for an appropriately intimate evening. —Allison Hussey

Before becoming a painter, Nell Painter had a storied career as a historian—a Princeton professor specializing in nineteenth-century Southern history and gender and sexuality studies who also served as president of the Southern Historical Collection and wrote eight books.

Her latest work, memoir Old in Art School: A Memoir of Starting Over, chronicles her decision, after retiring at the age of sixty-four, to pursue a BFA at Rutgers University, an MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design, and, fittingly, a prolific new life as a painter. An excerpt from her artist’s statement: “After a life of historical truth and political engagement with American society, my artwork represents freedom. Including the freedom to be totally self-centered.” (Hell yes and move over, young artschool bucks). At Quail Ridge Books, she joins retired UNC Press director Kate Douglas Torry in conversation; advance purchase of a book earns a seat and space in the signing line, though general unreserved seating room will also be available. —Sarah Edwards

For Chapel Hill string band Mipso, 2013 was a pivotal year. Joseph Terrell, Jacob Sharp, and Wood Robinson—then the band’s entire lineup—all graduated from UNC that spring, went on a two-week tour of Japan, and released their second full-length, Dark Holler Pop. Five years later, the group revisits that album with a vinyl release and a special run of shows. “We brainstormed a dream team to join us,” says fiddler Libby Rodenbough, who was featured on the LP before becoming a full-time Mipso member in 2014. “There’s going to be lots of different collaborations escalating to a full multi-band thing with big string arrangements,” she explains, pointing to last summer’s American Acoustic tour featuring Punch Brothers, I’m With Her, and Julian Lage as inspiration for the free-flowing format in Saxapahaw. They’ll bring out Boston folk trio Lula Wiles, Chatham County Line banjo player Chandler Holt, and stunning local singer-songwriter Kate Rhudy.

Expect Mipso material new and old interspersed with originals from their guests.

How’s this for a genre-bending theatrical fundraiser: Allow anyone—anyone with $25 in hand, that is—to invent a character and propose the karaoke song for them to sing.

Then leave it to Women’s Theatre Festival artistic director Ashley Popio to add connecting scenes and dialogue that string all those characters and songs together into a one-night-only musical-theater extravaganza. The logistics are relatively simple: There’s no pre-show rehearsal for this gig. Instead, actors’ lines and lyrics will simply pop up, karaoke-style, on the screens onstage. (That ought to keep the show fresh.) “In a cultural moment where women feel their voices aren’t being heard, there’s something wicked and amazing about singing loud and raising women’s voices instead of shutting up,” says the festival’s executive director, Johannah Edwards. The deadline is midnight November 7 if you want to be a participant; the entry form’s at po.st/ WTKM. To view the outcome, general admission seats are $10; a VIP table for two’s $50. —Byron Woods

PHOTO BY KELSEY HART

Following 2016’s Fable, Sam Moss’s album Neon highlights his progression from revered fingerstyle guitarist to singersongwriter. Moss revisits the Triangle with Juliana Daugherty (Charlottesville) and David Prather (now Durham, formerly Austin).

The very idea of a seated showcase on a Thursday evening alone may be as soothing as hearing the melodists themselves.

—Julie K. Smitka THE PINHOOK:

Ian Sweet

[$12–$14/8 P.M.] Jilian Medford’s songs as Ian Sweet are built on crushing anxieties: self-image, self-worth, the burden of responsibility. The songs on Crush Crusher offer no easy catharsis: “I forgot/did I ever ask what you thought/ about the day/we fucked in the parking lot?” she croons, wounded, on “Ugly/Bored”; “I lost myself in you,” she coos over the swirling tumult of “Hiding.” But easing anxiety is never easy; sometimes it’s enough to know that someone else feels it, too. —Patrick Wall

Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore [$20–$25/7 P.M.]

Downey to Lubbock, the new collaborative record by Chris Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, doesn’t necessarily make sense on paper. Alvin is a founding member of roots-rock stalwarts The Blasters, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore has basically

become the Willie Nelson of the underground Americana scene with his group the Flatlanders. However, their new record, Downey to Lubbock, results in a comfortable mutual love affair with classic Americana. —John Bohannon CAT’S CRADLE BACK ROOM:

Bad Bad Hats [$10–$12/8 P.M.]

This Minneapolis pop trio generated a fair amount of buzz with its 2015 debut album, Psychic Reader.

Frontwoman Kerry Alexander is constantly toying with the

listener’s expectations, taking her sugary-sweet melodies in surprising directions and proving herself a sharp songwriter at nearly every turn. Instrumentally, the band sounds like it belongs on nineties alt-radio, with its uptempo guitars, high production quality, and dashes of electronic sounds.

—Howard Hardee GREGG MUSEUM:

Pat “Mother Blues” Cohen [FREE/7:30 P.M.]

North Carolina native Pat “Mother Blues” returned to

her home state from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, continuing to gift her home state with vivacious performances marked by her colorful wigs that match the intensity of her powerhouse pipes. Harvey Dalton Arnold and Bubba Norwood join tonight for the closing reception of Our Living Past, an exhibition of Timothy Duffy’s wet plate photos of regional roots musicians.

MOTORCO: MAE Loyals; 8 p.m.

As of Tuesday-afternoon press time, we don’t know the results of the 2018 midterm elections that could make or break the next chapter of North Carolina (and American) history. With her new single, “Good Luck America,” Durham’s Kamara Thomas delivers a soulful anthem and prayer for a better future for the United States. Thomas packs a lot of hope into the six-minute song, condemning oppression while still looking toward brighter days. At this point, we need all the good luck we can get.

In the midst of the negativity of Trump-era America, and after watching Kanye West sloppily fumble his way through political discourse, a little lighthearted hip-hop is kind of a refreshing break.

Lyrics Born, fortunately, delivers by the pound. The Japan-born emcee makes joyful retro rap in the same vein as Young MC and Tone Loc about romantic crushes, using silly metaphors referring

Travis Scott [$25+/7:30 P.M.]

This summer, every deejay in every city was equipped with a sure crowd pleaser in Travis Scott’s “Sicko Mode,” the lead single featuring Drake, from his latest album Astroworld. The track’s cinematic quality, featuring three acts providing different ambience in each, is the perfect dance song. It starts with a hypnotizing croon from Drake that transitions into a bouncy middle section led by Scott, and concludes with a beat change that sends audiences into jumping levity.

It’s sure to sound amazing in a stadium setting at PNC Arena along with Scott’s arsenal of singles like “Antidote” and “Goosebumps.”

The twenty-one-year-old R&B sensation was no stranger to the spotlight before reaching No. 1 on Billboard this fall with “Focus.” She signed to Sony’s RCA Records at age fourteen after several highprofile performances. H.E.R.’s anonymity was a tool for Wilson, but now there truly is nothing left for her to hide.

The Colorado-based electronic music producer keeps parties moving with a mix of live instrumentation, improvisation and all sorts of trippy synth sounds.

One Eleven Heavy ain’t heavy, but they are heady.

Formed by Wooden Wand’s James Jackson Toth and Nick Mitchell Maiato, of British psych-rockers Desmadrados Soldados De Ventura, and featuring a crack lineup of sidemen—whose credits include stints with Royal Trux and Chris Forsyth’s Solar Motel Band—One Eleven Heavy follows in the footsteps of rock bands that thrived on wild-eyed inspiration.

(Sandy) Alex G [$15–$18/8 P.M.]

Alex Giannascoli is a twentyfive-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who performs under the name (Sandy) Alex G. He first got noticed by releasing entirely self-recorded projects on Bandcamp, but now he tours with a full band, playing sad bastard indie-rock with hints of country twang. As a singer, he’s regularly off-key, but endearingly so, giving his songs a lived-in sort of vibe.

One gets the feeling that if he wasn’t a musician, Giannascoli would be playing hacky sack on the quad. Half Waif opens.

TWEN and Ian Ferguson complete the bill.

Dorrance Dance PHOTO COURTESY OF CAROLINA PERFORMING ARTS

DORRANCE DANCE: MYELINATION There are some cardinal rules in tap dance: Above all, thou shalt not fall. And, as with the human heart, arrhythmia equals death. But hometown hero Michelle Dorrance, who catapulted to the top echelon of the world’s tap choreographers and dancers, capturing a 2015 MacArthur Foundation “genius grant” along the way, has persistently pushed at the assumptions, boundaries, and nostalgia associated with the American art form.

The medical term in the title of her 2017 work alludes to those same aspirations: to pursue a physical craft so demanding that the body literally generates myelin, the substance that sheathes our nerve endings to amplify and speed up their signals. In that quest, her dancers cross the borders between choreography and music—literally, when Warren Craft and Nicholas Van Young join pianist Donovan Dorrance and bassist Gregory Richardson on guitar and drums—before Craft deliberately pursues tap forms beyond his body’s ability to remain upright.

Two hip-hop dancers and nine tap artists find “a grim, hard-edged, and cool urbanity in which chaos and isolation [alternate] with the anonymous solidarity of regimented masses” (The Financial Times).

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8

SAMMY DAVIS, JR.: I’VE GOTTA BE ME Often billed as “the most entertaining man in America,” Sammy Davis Jr. lived a complicated, subversive life, both on and off the stage: An African-American performer trying to break ground as a comedian and musician, he was the subject of national adoration, extreme racial prejudice, and rejection from black America, all at once. Director Sam Pollard (director and producer of a wide range of sociopolitical documentaries, including 4 Little Girls and ACORN and the Firestorm) offers a long-overdue closer look at Sammy Davis Jr. in I’ve Gotta Be Me, the first major documentary to examine the performer’s life. Neverbefore-seen moments from the archives, interspersed with new interviews from Billy Crystal, Kim Novak, and Whoopi Goldberg (among others), illuminate the life of an American luminary. The event is part of Full Frame Road Show Fall Series (next up: The Providers, an examination of the stories of three health care providers across rural America). —Sarah Edwards HAYTI HERITAGE CENTER, DURHAM | 7:30 p.m., free, www.fullframefest.org

 The Old Man & the Gun—Robert Redford goes out with a bang in this crime caper, reportedly his final film role.

Rated PG-13. ½ A Star Is Born—Neither modern classic nor mega-bomb, this Cooper-Gaga remake is best when it’s allowed to just be a tender country-western love story. Rated R.  Suspiria—Luca Guadagnino’s superlative craft gets bogged down in extraneous world-building in his remake of the horror classic. Rated R.
