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.

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​

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.

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

SUMMARY:Nebraska Poets Reading Series: Elizabeth Clark Wessel
DESCRIPTION:The free monthly Nebraska Poets Reading Series highlights the talent of Nebraska poets and invites discussion with audience members. All events are free online\, but registration is required to receive an event link. Registration links for each poet’s event and additional details about each poet are available on the Nebraska Poetry Society’s website. \nWessel unspools layers of mythology—of places\, people\, historical and ahistorical time—and finds their entanglements with everyday life\, revealing marvelous influences encoded in the ordinary. \nOriginally from rural Nebraska\, Elizabeth Clark Wessel now lives in Stockholm\, Sweden and works as a translator of Swedish literature. She’s the author of four chapbooks of poetry\, and her poems have appeared widely in journals\, including Fence\, Boston Review\, and the American Poetry Review. None of It Belongs to Me (Game Over Books\, 2024) is her first full-length collection.
