SUMMARY:New Art Center presents: Artist Talk with Isabel Beavers
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom for our winter Artist Talk Series featuring contemporary artists whose work examines climate and the environment. \nIsabel Beavers will lead an interactive artist presentation\, as she presents recent works that explore climate change as a moment of origin\, and invites participants to co-create an artistic experiment over virtual space. Please bring a sketchbook or paper\, and a writing or drawing utensil to the presentation. \nBeavers practice includes many forms: multimedia installation\, new media and virtual forms of creation and presentation\, curatorial projects\, as well as social practice experiments in the form of mini-hackathons and worldwide collaborations. In each case her work attempts to combat systems of oppression as they relate to ecology\, bodies and environments\, instead imagining new climate futures. Through site-responsive research and artistic projects she interrogates cultural responses to climate change\, speculates about climate futures\, and questions the ethics of emergent technologies. Recent projects have explored the unraveling of the Arctic Ocean ecosystem\, embedded power structures in Icelandic origin stories and Norse Mythology\, mega-fires in California as a case study for the operation of compassion fatigue\, and curatorial projects addressing extraction\, artificial intelligence\, and artificial ecologies. \nClick here for more information.

SUMMARY:Historic Newton presents: A Town Called 'Rejoycing'
DESCRIPTION:A Town Called ‘Rejoycing’\nReconsidering John Eliot’s 1646 Mission to the ‘Indians’\n\nDate:01/28/2021 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nLocation:Virtual\nVirtual Meeting\nNewton\, Massachusetts 02459\nIntroduction: Drew Lopenzina\, an eminent scholar of of Early American and Native American literatures and author of “Red Ink” lectures with the Newton Free Library\n\nHistory tells us that John Eliot\, the “Apostle to the Indians\,” came to the area of present-day Newton in 1646 to preach to the local indigenous communities of Massachusetts and Nipmucs in their own language. His mission was part of an overall endeavor by the Puritans to convert the Natives of the land to Christianity. Both history and tradition tend to place Eliot speaking down to the “children of the forest” gathered at his feet. As we mark the 400th anniversary of the Pilgrim’s first landing at Plymouth\, however\, it is an opportune time to re-situate this encounter in Native space. What did Native people have to gain by welcoming Eliot into their community and what were they ultimately prepared to sacrifice under increased colonial pressure to adopt a foreign religious belief structure? Register through the Newton Free Library to receive the Zoom link.
