SUMMARY:Popol Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Quiché through Illustration
DESCRIPTION:Popol Vuh: The Sacred Book of the Quiché through Illustration is an exhibit that features a series of illustrations by artist Jaime Arredondo\, with the hope of restoring the former glory of the Popol Vuh and its authors to its deserved place in human history. The artist’s hope is that this will lead to a greater interest and defense of the stories\, art\, and culture of Native and Indigenous people. \nAccording to the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian: \nThe Popol Vuh\, or Popol Wuj in the K’iche’ language\, is the story of creation of the Maya. Members of the royal K’iche’ lineages that had once ruled the highlands of Guatemala recorded the story in the 16th century to preserve it under the Spanish colonial rule. The Popol Vuh\, meaning “Book of the Community\,” narrates the Maya creation account\, the tales of the Hero Twins\, and the K’iche’ genealogies and land rights. \nSee museum website for current information about opening hours and admission. \nMuseum Hours:\nWednesday\, Thursday\, & Friday 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.\nSaturday 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. \nAdmission:\nMembers Free\nGeneral Admission $5.00\nCollege Students with ID $4.00\nStudents K-12 $3.50\nSenior Citizens $3.50\nChildren under 5 Free\nActive Military with ID* Free\n*El Museo Latino is a Blue Star Museum

SUMMARY:Beyond Combat: World War I through the Lens of "Doc" Cook
DESCRIPTION:R.H. “Doc” Cook\, a photographer who enlisted during World War I\, served with the 88th Division\, 313th Engineers and captured the company’s experiences with his camera. A century later\, local resident Mollie Anderson purchased a case that had belonged to Cook. The case contained his original photographic negatives. After researching Cook’s life and displaying some of the images at Gallery 92 West in 2022\, she donated the entire set to The Durham Museum. \nBeyond Combat: World War I Through the Lens of Doc Cook is a temporary exhibition developed by The Durham Museum. Through photos curated from Cook’s collection\, it tells the story of the 313th Engineers from their training at Camp Dodge until the completion of their deployment in May 1919. Their story highlights military jobs that contributed to the war effort beyond the traditionally understood duties of combat. The military engineers that “Doc” served with were responsible for repairing roads\, building bridges\, laying track\, improving dugouts and shelters and assisting in the restoration of war-torn regions. Plans for the exhibition also include a small theater area\, with seating\, featuring additional images in which guests are invited to linger with “Doc” Cook’s images and immerse themselves in the 313th Engineers’ experience. \nAdmission (not including tax): Adults: $15\, Seniors (62+): $12\, Military/Veteran: $12\, Children (ages 3 – 12): $8\, Children 2 years and under FREE. \nMuseum hours: Sunday Noon – 4PM\, Monday through Saturday 10AM – 4PM\, closed major holidays.

SUMMARY:OurStory exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The “OurStory: Creating Aging-Ready Housing” exhibition by the University of Nebraska College of Architecture’s FACT Studio\, takes aim at the housing crisis and aging population with a new concept for infill housing and accessory dwellings in the Omaha metro and beyond. \nThe exhibition focuses on a new housing product\, also called OurStory\, that was designed during a Fall 2024 semester-long process by 13 graduate-level architecture students who are members of FACT (Fabrication And Construction Team) a collaborative student designbuild studio at the University of Nebraska College of Architecture. The project is under the mentorship of Jeffrey L. Day\, FAIA\, Professor of Architecture and Landscape Architecture and founding partner of Actual Architecture Company. The OurStory exhibit explores project design goals and the process used to create the broadly applicable housing system. \n“Affordable housing occurs at the intersection of policy\, finance\, and design\,” Jeffrey Day said. “The focus of this exhibition is on design\, informed by the other two realms. OurStory argues for a repair of the single-family house to address housing needs in existing neighborhoods\, vacant odd-lots\, new dense developments\, to accommodate aging in place\, and to uncover new opportunities for the home.” \n“We are designing for the needs of an aging population because it benefits every person and every neighborhood to consider older adults an asset\, and to keep seniors close to the communities and people they love for as long as possible\,” said Jessica Scheuerman\, founder and executive director of Livable Omaha. “Everyone wins if we have more options for aging-ready ADUs and infill housing.” \nThe exhibit will run from December 16 through January 10 and will be viewable during the Dundee Bank’s operating hours\, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. \nArchitect Jeffrey L. Day\, FAIA\, will give a gallery talk on January 3 during BFF Omaha’s First Friday art walk.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: Jessica Poli
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nHow do the landscapes we’ve lived in shape the way we think\, feel\, and create? In Crossing Open Ground\, Barry Lopez suggests that “the shape of the individual mind is affected by land as it is by genes.” There is a profound connection between our inner lives and the physical spaces we inhabit. In this generative workshop\, we will consider the ways the physical world influences our interior landscapes\, and how those interior landscapes\, in turn\, might shape our poems. Through guided prompts\, reflective discussion\, and close readings of place-inspired poems\, you’ll learn to translate your experiences of land — whether wide-open spaces\, urban corners\, or intimate settings — into vivid\, textured poetry. \nJESSICA POLI is the author of Red Ocher (University of Arkansas Press)\, which was a finalist for the 2023 Miller Williams Prize. Her work has appeared in Best New Poets\, North American Review\, Poet Lore\, and Salamander\, among other places. She is currently a PhD student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln\, where she is an Associate Editor for Prairie Schooner.

SUMMARY:The People's Recorder: A Creative Incubator
DESCRIPTION:The People’s Recorder is a national podcast on the 1930s Federal Writers’ Project: what it achieved\, where it fell short\, and what it means for Americans today. An episode about Nebraska is now available. \nEpisode Summary \nIn the 1930s\, the notion of making an incubator for creativity in a region devastated by the Great Depression got tested in Nebraska. This episode looks at what happened there when the Writers’ Project came to town\, through a group of creatives from contrasting backgrounds\, including a hobo\, a nurse and a hardware store poet – all under the watchful eye of a university professor and a celebrated novelist. \nStarting from chaos\, they ignited a surprising alchemy and made the Lincoln office one of the most productive Writers’ Project hubs in the country. The Season 1 finale listens in as Americans face war clouds on the horizon\, and a national radio show asks\, “Can we count on youth to uphold the American Way?” \nListen to episode 10\, A Creative Incubator\, on their website\, or on your favorite podcast platform. \nApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-peoples-recorder/id1693003215\nAcast: https://shows.acast.com/peoples-recorder\nSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72IK20V1a7nNhhbehGBIYm?si=479e79a135be4187\nAudible: https://www.amazon.com/The-Peoples-Recorder/dp/B0C88BW4R2\niHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-peoples-recorder-117528281/

SUMMARY:Salon Reading Series: “The Body” @ Turbine Flats
DESCRIPTION:Each Salon Reading Series event features a reading of a play followed by a moderated discussion of the play’s themes and how these themes apply to the community. The theme for 2024-25 is “Hold On.” This theme will explore concepts of holding on and letting go. \nThe Salon Reading Series is free and open to the public\, with two readings each week: \n\nthe first on Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Turbine Flats Resonator Gallery at 2124 Y St\nthe second Wednesday evening at 6:30pm  in the Eastmont Living’s theater space at 6315 O St in Lincoln.\n\nThe Body\nby Steve Mould\nDirected by Timothy W Scholl \nWhile mom is away\, Joe is determined to be the best dad ever for his stepdaughter Abby. But a giant crate appears on their doorstep\, and Abby and Joe work to decipher its mysterious contents – a doll with no face\, and an instruction manual with no words. The deeper they delve into this package\, the more it threatens their family’s tenuous emotional equilibrium. Was this doll sent to strengthen their relationship? Or is it a harbinger of a more disturbing truth? Part domestic drama\, part surreal thriller\, The Body lives in that space between reality and dreams\, where the things that haunt us most come from within. \nFor more information\, visit the Angels Theatre Company Salon Reading Series website.

For more information about receiving the Zoom link and viewing the lectures\, visit the Virtual Winter Lecture Series website. \nGovernments around the world have responded with different degrees of commitment to carbon reduction\, made at the annual climate-change summits. As individuals\, we frequently perceive the urgent threat of climate change with a sense of helplessness\, feeling that our individual actions may lack the capacity to effect meaningful change. This series seeks to transcend the conventional focus on carbon reduction by offering a vision of hope that emphasizes community-building solutions while addressing critical challenges related to shelter\, food security\, and sustainability. The activists and experts in the final panel will inform us on local issues and how we can each play a part in resolving them. \nFebruary 16 – Dr. Barb Mayes Boustead will provide an overview from her perspective of a career in climate\, weather\, and communication. \nBarb Mayes Boustead is a meteorologist and climatologist.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: MK Chavez
DESCRIPTION:The Nebraska Poetry Society is offering monthly Saturday morning online poetry workshops. Registration is required\, and registration information may be found on the Nebraska Poetry Society webpage. Free with annual membership; nominal fee for non-members. Students\, minors and others for whom the registration fee is prohibitive may request a free membership. \nThis workshop will explore how hybrid poetry serves as a powerful tool for self-exploration and expression. By engaging with the fluid and transformative nature of hybrid forms\, we’ll delve into how our identities\, shaped by the intersections of various influences\, can be authentically reflected in our writing. We will examine how hybrid poems\, which blend elements of narrative\, memoir\, and cultural commentary\, allow us to navigate the complexities of our inner and outer worlds. Participants will have the opportunity to create works that capture the richness of their experiences\, exploring themes of identity\, place\, and the self in all its dimensions. This workshop invites writers to move beyond traditional forms\, using hybrid poetry as a way to express the multifaceted nature of their authentic selves. Whether you’re experienced in poetry or new to this form\, this workshop will provide a supportive space to explore the connections between our lived experiences and our creative expressions. \nMK CHAVEZ is a writer and educator whose work explores mixed-race identity\, social justice\, environmental resilience\, horror cinema\, magic\, ritual\, and the creative process. As founder of the Ouroboros Writing Lab\, MK Chavez provides a nurturing space for writers to grow. The Lab offers workshops designed to expand creative boundaries and individual and group creative coaching. Chavez’s work is recognized with the Pen Josephine Miles Award\, San Francisco Foundation/Nomadic Press Literary Award\, and the Ruth Weiss Maverick Award. Chavez’s publications include Dear Animal\, Mothermorphosis\, the lyric essay chapbook A Brief History of the Selfie\, and Virgin Eyes. Recent work can be found as part of the art installation Manifest Differently. \n​
