SALT Quintet: A Mosaic of Mothers Concert (Read More)
The SALT Quintet will share the multifaceted process of transforming personal narrative into musical drama during a concert at the University of Nebraska at Kearney. An acronym for share, affirm, lift and tell, the SALT Quintet tells stories through the medium of micro-operas. The concert’s intention is to offer – via music and drama – a unique perspective of women’s personal histories and to explore the strength and endurance of women through the lens of family experiences. Four UNK students, Sophie Fiedler, Catherine Moritz, Nicole Smith, and TruLee Jo White, will join five music professors, mezzo-soprano Dr. Sharon Campbell (University of Nebraska at Kearney, Kearney, NE), pianist Dr. Young Kim (Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY), soprano Dr. Suna Gunther (University of Nebraska at Lincoln, Lincoln, NE), soprano Dr. Anne Jennifer Nash (Concordia College, Moorhead, MN), and soprano Dr. Sylvia Stoner (Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY), in a concert of micro-operas, staged choral works, and a piano solo that all draw from memoirs by women connected to the quintet and the composers. The performance and a dress rehearsal scheduled for 4 p.m. Oct. 9 in the Fine Arts Recital Hall are both free and open to the public. Five UNK faculty members – Janet Graham (English), Sandra Loughrin (sociology/women’s and gender studies), Suzanne Maughan Spencer (sociology), Linda Van Ingen (history) and Theodora Ziolkowski (English) – are contributed the insights of their research areas to the performance's program notes.

Sergey Melnitchenko at the UNK James E. Smith Conference on World Affairs (Read More)
This year's conference theme is "For Better or Worse: Crossing the Line." The world we live in is filled with visible and invisible lines—directing us, connecting us, and dividing us. We create them, negotiate them, erase them, replace them, and, of course, cross them both accidentally and deliberately every day of our lives. We cross streets to visit our neighbors but sometimes also to confront them. We cross class, ethnic, religious, and gender lines in ways that expand and enrich our social fabric but sometimes also risking tearing it. We cross national lines to see the world and learn about new cultures but also to conquer other civilizations, imposing our own cultural values upon them. And meanwhile, nature itself ignores all our artificially imposed boundaries—storms, heat waves, fires, viruses, and species move and cross these lines at will—sometimes for better, sometimes for worse. The conference is accompanied by the Crossing the Line Exhibition at the Walker Art Gallery. The exhibition showcases the work of the artists displaced by turbulent historical events including the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict. It features the work of 6 immigrant artists currently residing in the USA, prints from a group of students and professors from the Wroclaw Art Academy in Poland, and photographs created by the Mykolaiv Young Photographer’s group (MYPH) from Mykolaiv, Ukraine. Sergey Melnitchenko will give a talk entitled "Art is Keeping Us Alive in this War." Melnitchenko was born in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, (located just 60 miles NW of Kherson) in 1991. He began taking photographs in 2009 and in 2018 founded the MYPH, a school for conceptual and art photography. He is also a member of the Ukrainian Photo Alternative (UPHA). Melnitchenko is a winner of multiple Ukrainian and international competitions, including Berlin’s Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award in 2017. In 2020, he was nominated for Amsterdam’s prestigious Foam Paul Huf Award that recognizes generational talent demonstrating a personal visual language and style. Melnitchenko’s work has appeared in over 70 publications, and he has published nine books of photography. The full conference runs from 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 14 and 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Nov. 15, and will feature keynote speaker Sonia Nazario. See here for the full conference schedule. In-person and virtual attendance is free. Registration is required for livestream attendance. Register here. Virtual sessions will be livestreamed but not recorded.
