Time to plan the week. Here's some of what we recommend:

Through 8/19: Joan of Arc celebrates 20 years of making "music for no audience" with the visual art show "JOA20" at Elastic Arts (3429 W. Diversey). Leor Galil writes, "Joan of Arc's brazenly eclectic catalog is partially due to fusion, and the works in 'JOA20' provide an alternative view of the individual elements that give the band its voice."

The event includes a screening of Katina Parker's films Ferguson: A Report from Occupied Territory and Ferguson: One Year Later; readings by Imani Jackson and Immanuel Sodipe from the zine Black Skin, Blue Suits; and a Q&A with Parker and Jackson. 6 PM
