April 8th is the last day to visit the Attica NOW exhibition at Buffalo Arts Studio! Attica NOW is the culmination of CALDODECULTIVO‘s four month research residency as part of the Displacement: Reclaiming Place, Space, and Memory exhibition program.
“Currently based in Buffalo, NY, CaldodeCultivo is a Spanish-Colombian art collective founded by Unai Reglero and Gabriela Córdoba in 2006. CaldodeCultivo addresses conflicts of a global nature that manifest in the local realm. Using different artistic languages, from public installation to video, the collective creates devices of counter-information, agitation, and provocation that work as catalysts for dissent.
During their residency, CaldodeCultivo examined the 1971 Attica uprising, which left 43 people dead, almost all of them killed by law enforcement officers retaking the prison. Attica NOW places the current conditions of prisons and detention centers at the center of their project and identifies incarcerated people, both past and present, as political subjects.”

The SSJ Sister Karen Klimczak Center for Nonviolence is excited to announce their annual fundraising event, “Herstory: The Cost of Nonviolence,” which will once again be live and in-person. This year’s speaker is Cariol Horne. A reception will follow.
Cariol is a former Buffalo police officer who was the inspiration for the Duty-to-Intervene law passed by the City of Buffalo in 2020. Known as “Cariol’s Law” it requires officers to step in if another officer is thought to be using excessive force on a suspect.
In her presentation, Cariol will tell her story of the incident where she acted to protect an arrestee from a fellow police officer Her intervention resulted in termination from the Buffalo Police Department and a loss of benefits just months before she was eligible for retirement. She will share the long journey of seeking justice for herself and for those she has vowed to serve and protect.
Like Sister Karen’s life, Cariol’s personal story is a testament to the power of one person to create a more just and peaceful community. We hope you will join us for what promises to be a compelling and captivating presentation!
Tickets are $25 each and are available by calling 716.893.0808, on the website at www.sisterkarencenter.org, or at the door.
