Presence of what; Absence of whom

COCA (Center of Creative Arts)

In Presence of what; Absence of whom, St. Louis-based, Indian-born interdisciplinary artist Sukanya Mani presents her most intimate side by using clusters of undulating paper and fabric forms to retell the daily rituals and traditions that shaped her identity as an immigrant woman. Following her commitment to raising awareness about domestic abuse, with a highlight on immigrant and refugee populations, Mani asks the visitors to question the repeated rituals each of us performs to present our own versions of masculinity and femininity. This exhibition is an investigation of identity and meaning making through rituals, clothing over time.

But What Can You Do?

Sun Theatre

But What Can You Do?

By Myah Gary
Based on the picture book by Arika Parr and Ava Johnson with illustrations by Misra Karahan March 26 - March 30, 2025

The Sun Theater - 3625 Grandel Square, St. Louis, MO 63108

Local mother daughter author duo Arika Parr and Ava Johnson’s picture book comes to the stage! Ava is not so good at cartwheels, and after many attempts - and just as many tumbles - she feels defeated. With a little encouragement from her family, Ava makes an exciting discovery: though she may not be able to do some things, she has countless other talents. Ava uses her new-found confidence to help others across St. Louis celebrate all the things they can do!  

Now...think about all the things YOU can do! 

This story includes themes of positive thinking, growth mindset, co-parenting, music, and more! 

Best enjoyed by ages 4 and up. 

Directed by Jacqueline Thompson

Author Talk - Linda Dobkins

Field House Museum

Step back in time with us on Wednesday, March 26, 2025, at 11:00 AM as we welcome author Jo Allison to discuss the “uppity” women that have made St. Louis history. From founding mother Marie Thérèse Chouteau to national icons Maya Angelou and Tina Turner, St. Louis women have shaped the city in ways large and small.

Drawing from vignettes in Storied and Scandalous St. Louis: A History of Breweries, Baseball, Prejudice, and Protest, author Jo Allison will recount their stories and their continuing influence. Women who fought for freedom, workers’ rights, political recognition, and for themselves: we have a rich tapestry to explore for Women’s History Month.

This program is free with limited availability in person and on Zoom. Reservations must be made in advance on our website, by calling the Museum at 314-421-4689, or by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
