Loven, who studied in Europe, included details such as dovecotes, turrets, leaded glass windows, half-timbering, embossed copper gutters, gargoyles, balconies, courtyards, terra cotta roof tiles, and hand-forged hardware in the homes he designed. Such details lend the homes a magical, fairy-tale quality.

Meet Kortez, a visual artist and DJ who calls his work “Esoteric Urbanism.” A graduate of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts, his wide-ranging artwork includes mixed-media collage, drawing, painting, sculpture, print-making, jewelry, graphic design, photography and fashion. His expressive portraits and abstract work spring from sources including graffiti, African, underground DJ culture and social commentary. Recent exhibitions of his work include The Bridge Arts Gallery (formerly in Bayonne), Akwaaba Gallery (Newark), the Newark Museum and the Montclair Art Museum. He currently works as an independent artist, shows his art, and DJs via the artist collective Gathering of Tribes. In his own words, "I explore the concept of Esoteric Urbanism through my art, delving into knowledge and themes that resonate with audiences that appreciate contemporary art, social commentary, and also pop culture, which is largely Black culture. Drawing inspiration from my perspective as an displaced African, I use my artwork to delve into social commentary and popular culture. Through my pieces, I aim to provoke thought, challenge preconceptions, and initiate conversations on important societal issues. By intertwining esoteric elements with urban aesthetics, I create a unique artistic experience that invites viewers to question and reflect upon the world around them.” For more information about Kortez, please visit www.esotericurbanism.com. Kortez’s work will be featured in the Gallery for the Month of October.

Please join us for a screening of UNDIVIDE US, followed by a facilitated conversation with Mediator and Dialogue Practitioner, Maggie Jacoby.

📅 Wednesday, September 25
⏰ 7pm - 9 pm
🎟 Reserve your free ticket here: undivideus.film/hawthorne (must reserve a ticket to attend)
📍Hawthorne Theaters, 300 Lafayette Ave, Hawthorne, NJ 07506

Through the intimate lens of six focus groups across three American cities, the film explores the toxic landscape of polarization, revealing how it drives us to undesirable places. Yet, within these divisions, the film uncovers the potential for healing conversation and the rediscovery of the value of local community, mutual respect, and democracy. Aiming to awaken the silenced majority that seeks solutions rather than strife, UNDIVIDE US is not only a documentary; it’s a timely and urgent plea to reclaim the nation’s soul through open discourse, civic engagement, and self-governance. Produced by TLDR Media Inc.

Run Time: 73 minutes

This screening is sponsored by Fair Lawn, Glen Rock, Hawthorne, and Ridgewood public libraries.
