They are as thin as drinking straws and speak no words, only noises. I’m petried every time I tiptoe past them.” That’s how “Suga Water” author, activist and self-proclaimed messenger of hope Arshay Cooper describes the drug addicts in the West Side of Chicago building where he grew up. Cooper was raised by a single mother, who overcame drug addiction, in a neighborhood plagued by gang violence and drugs. He was recruited to the rowing team of Chicago’s Manley Career Academy High School. Skeptical at rst, he joined the team, a decision that he says transformed his life. Arshay made sports history when he became the captain of the rowing team at Manley—the rst all-Black high school rowing team in America. He graduated high school. Cooper’s experiences competing in an exclusionary and predominantly white sport are recorded in his striking memoir and recent documentary “A Most Beautiful Thing.” Arshay has also started several rowing programs anywhere a puddle of water exists, so that other young people can experience the profound change that can happen on the water. “In rowing, you move forward by looking in the opposite direction. I learned that it’s ok to look back, as long as you keep pushing forward.” - Arshay Cooper Watch the documentary for free at https://www.peacocktv.com/freesignup Cosponsored with RCTC’s Learning Is ForEver (LIFE) Program.

It is this “life force” or chi (pronounced chee) that the artist aspires to capture and express through brush painting. Unlike European-trained artists, those trained in traditional Chinese brush painting techniques do not try to create a realistic rendering of the external appearance of a subject, but instead seek to capture its inner spirit. The essence of the subject is retained in the artist’s imagination, and it is this image that is painted in a moment of spontaneous inspiration. It is thought to prevent dementia, promote longevity, and good health. A $25 supply fee will be collected the rst night for all required supplies (2 brushes, ink, 60 sheets of rice paper).
