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:"Saints Above & Sinners Below" Mexican & Spanish Colonial Devotional Art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit presents devotional art (iconography\, ex-votos\, retablos\, etc.) from a private collection. Devotional art is considered “for the people\, by the people.” In contrast to art created by classically trained artists in guilds\, devotional art was produced by self-taught artists (many of whom were moderate- to low-income) and usually painted on wood or tin. During the Spanish Colonial period\, when many were illiterate\, this art was a medium for education and veneration. \nThe exhibition will be viewable Tuesday through Friday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday / Sunday 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. \nOpening reception March 2 from noon to 3 p.m. \nDr. Kinga J. Novak will present two lectures about this devotional art – one in English\, and one in Spanish. \nEnglish talk: March 13 at 6:30 pm \nSpanish talk: March 15 at 10:00 am

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:Virtual Winter Lecture Series 2025: Envisioning A Resilient Future

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:"Saints Above\, Sinners Below" gallery talk with Kinga Novak
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with an exhibition of devotional art\, Dr. Kinga J. Novak will present a gallery talk on “Saints Above\, Sinners Below: Mexican and Spanish Colonial Devotional Art from 1720 to 1920.” A reception will follow her talk. \nDr. Novak is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies at the prestigious Bard Early College in Manhattan\, New York. Her dissertation on Mexican ex-votos is considered the best in the field. \nThis exhibit presents devotional art (iconography\, ex-votos\, retablos\, etc.) from a private collection. Devotional art is considered “for the people\, by the people.” In contrast to art created by classically trained artists in guilds\, devotional art was produced by self-taught artists (many of whom were moderate- to low-income) and usually painted on wood or tin. During the Spanish Colonial period\, when many were illiterate\, this art was a medium for education and veneration. \nDr. Maya Stanfield-Mazzi\, Professor of Art History at the University of Florida\,  is contributing a scholarly essay on Spanish Colonial Devotional Art\, which will be published in the program handed out at the lecture and placed on the CAP website for download. \nThe exhibition will be viewable from March 2 through April 20\, Tuesday through Friday noon to 4 p.m. and Saturday / Sunday 11:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Set in Uz\, a fictional Nebraska town\, in the aftermath of Black Sunday\, The Antidote follows a “Prairie Witch\,” whose body serves as a bank vault for peoples’ memories and secrets; a Polish wheat farmer who learns how quickly a hoarded blessing can become a curse; his orphan niece\, a basketball star and witch’s apprentice in furious flight from her grief; a voluble scarecrow; and a New Deal photographer whose time-traveling camera threatens to reveal both the town’s secrets and its fate. \nRegistration is requested for this free\, in-person event. See event website for details. \nKaren Russell is the author of six books of fiction\, including the New York Times bestsellers Swamplandia! and Vampires in the Lemon Grove. She has received MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Born and raised in Miami\, Florida\, she now lives in Portland\, Oregon with her husband\, son\, and daughter. The Antidote is her second novel. \nThe Willa Cather Author Series is a free program that features mostly virtual but occasional in-person authors who explore humanities topics related to Willa Cather\, Great Plains history\, and art across a variety of styles and genres. The author series was conceived as a way to connect Cather to contemporary writers\, as well as provide an accessible and inclusive space where readers can talk directly with writers about their work. Participating authors discuss how they create their work\, thematic connections within and outside of their texts\, and how their writing depicts shared experiences. Each author series event is designed to include a prepared discussion with the moderator and author(s)\, as well as ample time for audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poetry Society Workshop: ​Raena Shirali
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. \nIn an era defined by turmoil\, poetry of witness is newly defined by resistance. Although anger is culturally maligned as immature\, reactionary\, hysterical\, and easily dismissed by the structures that be\, what connects us to seemingly insurmountable forces of oppression is our fury in the face of indignity. In this workshop\, participants will work in the lineage of poetry of witness\, considering the evolution and contemporary iteration of the response poem. Together\, we will work with\, not through\, righteous indignation at the state of the world. This is not fine. Let’s whine about it. \nRAENA SHIRALI is the author of two collections of poetry. Her first book\, GILT\, was released by YesYes Books in 2017 and won the 2018 Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award. Published by Black Lawrence Press in October 2022\, her second book\, summonings\, won the 2021 Hudson Prize and was shortlisted for the 2022 Julie Suk Award. Winner of a Pushcart Prize & a former Philip Roth Resident at Bucknell University\, Shirali is also the recipient of prizes and honors from VIDA\, Gulf Coast\, Boston Review\, & Cosmonauts Avenue. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review\, Academy of American Poets’ Poem-A Day\, The Nation\, The Rumpus\, & elsewhere. Formerly Co-Editor-in-Chief of Muzzle Magazine\, Shirali now serves as Faculty Advisor for Folio—a literary magazine dedicated to publishing works by undergraduate students at the national level. She holds an MFA in Poetry from The Ohio State University and is an Associate Professor of English at Holy Family University.
