SUMMARY:Lecture with Yasmina Price
DESCRIPTION:Yasmina Price will situate both of Bemis’s exhibitions – Miatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding and MOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape – within contemporary critical discourse\, addressing how artists engage memory as both a site of rupture and possibility. \nAdmission is free; ticket reservations are encouraged. Visit the event website for more information\, or to register. \nYasmina Price is a writer\, researcher\, and PhD candidate in the Departments of African American Studies and Film & Media Studies at Yale University. She focuses on anti-colonial African cinema and the work of visual artists across the Black diaspora\, with a particular interest in the experimental work of women filmmakers. \nMOTHER TIME: Measuring ourselves within the landscape brings together photographers Rachel Cox and Rose Marie Cromwell\, whose distinct yet overlapping practices explore the complexities of closeness—emotional\, physical\, and spatial. \nMiatta Kawinzi: An Alphabet of Unfolding is a multi-gallery exhibition that explores hybridity\, memory\, and sustenance through mixed-media works\, sculpture\, video\, and text.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Series: Richard Norton Smith
DESCRIPTION:Renowned author and historian Richard Norton Smith will speak about Willa Cather\, My Mortal Enemy\, and Cather’s enduring place in American literature. Registration is required to receive an event link. \nRichard Norton Smith is an author\, historian\, biographer\, and former director of five presidential libraries\, including the Herbert Hoover\, Dwight D. Eisenhower\, Ronald Reagan\, and the Gerald R. Ford; the founding executive director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum; and founding director of the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics at the University of Kansas. \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.
