Curated Conversation with Mita Mahato: Hybrid Poetics in TROPSSAP and Arctic Play
2025-02-03 18:00 | Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, 550 Winslow Way E, Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110
Comix artist Mita Mahato assembles her panels and pages with cut and collaged papers. Her work joins fragments of used and discarded materials—old newspapers, obsolete maps, junk mail, packaging scraps—in poetic experiments that dramatize entangled processes of death and renewal, specifically within the context of ecosystemic loss under capitalism. The pages of her poetry comix are deeply textured, layered, woven, and kinetic, echoing and referencing the play of lives that are entangled in various ecosystems. In conversation with BIMA’s Education lead, Jenna d’Anna, Mahato will share insights into how place-making inspires her hybrid poetics, with special focus on how collage technique, poetic forms, and color theory inform her new book Arctic Play (published by The 3rd Thing) and its companion activity book TROPSSAP (on exhibition in “Crossing the Line: The Passport Re-Imagined”). Audience Q & A to follow. Reception and book-signing before the talk at 6pm.

Django's Birthday with Ranger and the ‘Re-Arrangers’
2025-02-02 18:00 - 21:00 | Bainbridge Performing Arts, 200 Madison Ave N., Bainbridge Island, 98110
Hot Club Swing musicians from around Puget Sound are coming together to celebrate Django Reinhardt’s 115th birthday! The concert will feature local band Ranger and the ‘Re-Arrangers’, plus several guest soloists will join the band for a few tunes each. This year’s guests will be Tovi Newman on guitar, Toby Hanson on accordion, and Stephen Vail on saxophone!
Django was an itinerant Romani guitarist who earned international acclaim in the 1930’s. Many of his compositions became jazz classics and he is considered one of the top guitar soloists of all time. Duke Ellington called Django “the most creative jazz musician to originate anywhere outside the United States.” Decades later, Jerry Garcia said, “Nobody has really come to the state that he was playing at…nobody plays with the whole fullness of expression that Django had.”
