SUMMARY:Historic Newton presents: Activism and 'Redeeming Uncle Tom'
DESCRIPTION:Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel\, Uncle Tom’s Cabin\, galvanized anti-slavery forces. Yet activism for human rights was growing in the early 19th century. Our screening of “Redeeming Uncle Tom\,” a film about Josiah Henson\, whose life story inspired Stowe\, informs our discussion afterwards. Learn how Henson fits into the beginning of an organized movement for abolition\, which coalesced in the 1830s and led to Stowe using her novel to promote social justice. Our guest speaker\, Holly Jackson\, is the author of American Radicals and a professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston. This program is funded in part by a grant from Mass Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Register here to attend this Zoom program.

SUMMARY:New Art Center presents: Artist Talk with Nathalie Miebach
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom for our winter Artist Talk Series featuring contemporary artists whose work examines climate and the environment. \nNathalie Miebach’s work focuses on the intersection of art and science and the visual articulation of scientific observations. Using the methodologies and processes of both disciplines\, Miebach translates scientific data related to ecology\, climate change and meteorology into three-dimensional structures. Miebach’s method of translation is principally that of weaving – in particular basket weaving – as it provides a simple yet highly effective grid through which to interpret data in three-dimensional space. Central to this work is the desire to explore the role visual aesthetics play in the translation and understanding of scientific information. By utilizing artistic processes and everyday materials\, Miebach questions and expands the traditional boundaries through which science data has been visually translated (ex: graphs\, diagrams)\, while at the same time provoking expectations of what kind of visual vocabulary is considered to be in the domain of ‘science’ or ‘art’. \nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:Newton Art Association presents: Watercolor - Demo with Gary Tucker
DESCRIPTION:Gary Tucker started painting with life long mentor and artist\, Anita Fahs. She introduced oil painting\, the impressionists\, and the value of working from life. Soon after\, Gary decided to make art his life path. Eventually he was drawn east to Boston where he met Professor Kaji Aso at the SMFA. Professor Aso introduced eastern aesthetics\, Calligraphy and Sumi painting. Gary quickly graduated to watercolor and found that he could achieve much more subtlety and expressiveness through this temperamental media. \n“Through the media of watercolor and my process of painting I find power through brushwork\, and subtlety through transparency.” \n“Watercolor differs from other media in that there is a performance aspect to it. The fine pieces come out in one sitting and very often like a classic performance\, something happens\, a fusion of mind and subject\, an improvisation that cannot be duplicated.” \nThis event will be held over Zoom on Thursday\, March 11th\, at 7:00 PM.

SUMMARY:Scandinavian Cultural Center presents: Connecting with Nature the Norwegian Way
DESCRIPTION:Join author Oliver Luke Delorie to discuss his book\, Fruiluftsliv: Connect with Nature the Norwegian Way. \nTranslated from Norwegian as “free life air\,” friluftsliv highlights the basic need for humans to get outside and connect with the natural world. It’s not about conquering nature\, as in climbing the highest mountain\, or about camping and other activities: it’s about truly finding harmony and becoming one with the outdoors. Whether you live in the city or out in the countryside\, this inspiring guide will show you how to enter a friluftsliv state of mind. It explains how spending time in nature and feeling its rhythms\, even when it’s something as simple as a magical Sunday walk in a local park\, can improve our well-being and encourage productive self-reflection. \nSaturday\, March 27th | 1pm EST | $5; free for SCC Members | register here \nABOUT OLIVER: Nicknamed “Monk” the day he was born\, Oliver Luke Delorie grew up steeped in Eastern philosophy and martial arts. He is also the author of the playful 100 Small Ways to Quit Worrying and 100 Small Ways to Manage Time. Delorie lives in Victoria\, British Columbia\, Canada.

SUMMARY:Amherst Early Music presents: Black Bodies and Black Voices
DESCRIPTION:AEM’s second in a Series of Free Lectures\nBlack Bodies and Black Voices: Gio. Buonaccorsi\, an enslaved Black singer at the Medici Court\, with Emily Wilbourne \nOn the 14th of October\, 1662\, the opera impresario Vettor Grimani Calergi wrote from Venice to Prince Mattias de’ Medici in Florence to discuss the singers for the upcoming opera season. He put in a particular plea in order that the Medici Cardinal’s black slave could participate. Above and beyond the moor’s “esteemed virtue” as a singer\, Grimani professed interest in the novelty of his character\, explaining that what perhaps in Florence had become “ordinary\,” would be “new\, and never before seen” on the Venetian stage. This singer is identifiable as Giovannino Buonaccorsi\, and his presence in Florence can be traced through a surprisingly rich archive of payment records\, libretti\, scores\, descriptions\, letters\, costume designs\, poetry\, as well as a remarkable double portrait: Baldassarre Franceschini’s Ritratto di suanatore di liuto con cantore moro (ca. 1662). In this paper I read this painting closely\, placing it alongside new archival documents to think about the ways in which black performance was normalized in mid-century Florence and the means by which blackness signified in relation to slavery and servitude\, shaping Giovannino’s access to performance opportunities on and offstage. \nClick here to learn more and register.
