“Spaces Places Traces” presents a thematic selection of artworks that engage artists’ interactions with specific locations and natural phenomena. Celebrating careful observation and reverie of one’s surroundings in concert with metaphorical or allegorical parallels, this show includes drawing, painting, photography, video, sculpture, ceramics and mixed media. The artworks on view consider space and place as a point of departure to explore concepts of time, relationships between materiality and ecology, personal narratives, environmental calls to action, and our connections to the world and each other. Participating artists include: Patricia M. Brace, Jackie Brown, Joshua DeMello, Bethany Engstrom, Pia Paulina Guilmoth, Hilary Irons, Peter Precourt, Julie Poitras Santos, Susan L. Smith and John Umphlett. Emery Community Art Center Gallery is open Monday-Saturday, 12pm-7pm.

Antonio Rocha, mime and storyteller, presents: Malaga, the Ship, a story of Maine and the Middle Passage
2026-02-11 19:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Emery Community Arts Center, Performance Space
In February, National Black History Month, ArtsFarmington is pleased to present the award-winning storyteller Antonio Rocha in his performance of Malaga, the Ship. The performance will be February 11 at 7 p.m., in the Emery Community Arts Center at the University of Maine at Farmington.
The Malaga was a 183-ton brig built in 1832 in Brunswick Maine in a shipyard owned by Joseph Badger. The ship eventually found herself as part of the already illegal transatlantic trade of
African captives to the Americas, especially Brazil.
The Malaga Ship story is a tour de force performance. Using his entire body and voice, Antonio sings, narrates, and mimes his way
through this poetically toned historical tale told mostly from the perspective of the ship. The story vividly explores the reality and impact of the slave industry, which was the largest industry
in the world in the 1800s.
The story also has deep personal meaning to the performer, as Malaga goes to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 1845. Antonio was raised there in a biracial household, a century after the Malaga’s visit.
A moderated discussion will take place at Emery just following the production. Dr. Michael Schoeppner from the UMF History Department will moderate the discussion.
Please visit artsfarmington.org for more information and tickets. The suggested adult ticket price is $20, more if you can, less if you can’t. All are welcome and no one is turned away. The event is free to UMF students, and to youth 18 and younger through the Arts Inspire Youth program of ArtsFarmington. Tickets also available at the door.
