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

SUMMARY:Willa Cather Author Series: Karen Russell
DESCRIPTION:Karen Russell will discuss her new novel\, The Antidote. 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.
