RE-IMAGINE | RE-EMERGE

As summer approaches, so does the return of the great American road trip; the chance for people to fill up their gas tanks and strike out in search of the familiar and the new. Taking with us a bit of home, we bring back an expanded understanding of a world so much bigger than ourselves. No matter the destination or the traveler, there seems always to be one unifying question. A question sometimes whispered from the backseat, though other times bellowed at the top of one’s lungs: “Are we there yet?!”

In o ur rush to arrive at the destination, we often miss the journey along the way. Did we stop at the historical marker to experience a moment of history? Did we pause to admire a piece of highway art? Did we pull off at the scenic overlook to appreciate nature’s beauty?

O ver the last year, it would have been easy for Pablo Center to focus solely on the end destination of hosting live, in-person events again. As our Patrons, Donors and Sponsors, your contributions not only ensured that we never lost sight of the road ahead, but also, gifted us the time to take note of the journey. We reflected, processed, and transformed. As a result, we now add a crucial ingredient to our DREAM | CREATE | INSPIRE moto: Re-Imagine. With the addition of this ingredient, we have not been just focused on the end goal of simply opening; we’re also focused on how Pablo Center can take an active role in shaping our region’s future.

Th is Fall, Pablo Center will Re-Emerge by hosting over 400 live performances and events. To celebrate, we commissioned Wisconsin Poet Laureate Dasha Kelly Hamilton for a poem to mark this metamorphic occasion. The words from the sixth stanza of her poem, “By Definition”, helped inspire our 4th Season:

The movement of air is caused by difference

The phenomenon of wind ensures the possibility of life

Life is an accounting of exhales and held breaths

Breaths we all push forward, push out, point skyward Together

If yo u’re still wondering, “Are we there yet?!” the answer is a resounding; YES! Long and winding as the road has been, at last we have arrived together.

We look forward to you joining us, in person, for Pablo Center’s 2021-2022, 4 th Season.

•Address structural and historical inequities in the arts.

•Identify and address implicit biases and practices throughout the organizational structures of Pablo Center.

•Respond to the events of our time that test relationships within the community through dialogue, educational and artistic programming, and care

Our first act towards this pledge is the creation of the Committee for Inclusive and Just Engagement and Practices, which is dedicated to the resolution of issues and the creation of opportunities related to social justice.
