SUMMARY:Katherine Higgs-Coulthard Family Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:At 6:00 pm EST\, Kat Higgs-Coulthard\, author of Hanging with My Peeps and Junkyard Dogs\, will lead an hour-long writing session for the whole family. Families will collaborate to write a story about a specific experience using guided prompts\, including making neighborhood maps and labeling the site of important memories. \nCome at 5:30 pm EST to enjoy some pizza and refreshment together before the workshop. Registration is required. \n  \n\nKatherine Higgs-Coulthard is a middle grade and young adult author whose work has been praised by Publisher’s weekly and Kirkus as “emotionally-nuanced” and “viseral.” She is an Associate Professor of Education at Saint Mary’s College\, Notre Dame\, where she prepares preservice teachers in literacy and writing instruction. A member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators\, the National Writing Project\, and the National Council of Teachers of English\, Kat is frequently invited to speak at state and national conferences.  \nKat started writing as a child and uses her positions as a college professor and author to serve as an advocate for prioritizing time for creativity and effective writing instruction in schools. In 2008\, she opened Michiana Writers’ Center as a way to support writers of all ages through classes and workshops in the South Bend/Mishawaka area. In 2013\, Kat founded the Get Inked Teen Writing Conference at Saint Mary’s College\, which brings together young writers and published authors.  \nAlthough\, technically Kat lives 0.25 miles across the Michigan state line\, she graduated from Indiana University\, South Bend and has worked in Indiana all of her adult life—first as a teacher for South Bend Schools\, and currently as a professor at Saint Mary’s College\, Notre Dame.   \nKat’s writing explores the core issues teens face today\, especially those related to family dynamics. Her first book\, Hanging with My Peeps\, is a contemporary middle grade novel following a family about to lose their home due to the layoffs in Elkhart’s RV industry and their salvation via an unlikely ally and 43 chickens. Kat’s young adult novel\, Junkyard Dogs\, is also set in Indiana and addresses issues of teen poverty and homelessness. It is inspired by her own experiences growing up in poverty and also by South Bend’s 2006 Manhole Murders\, which made national news. Her work has also appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul\, Jack and Jill Magazine\, Cleaver\, and Women on Writing.

SUMMARY:David Trujillo & cat mahari at Indiana Humanities
DESCRIPTION:Join us on September 16\, 2025\, at 6:30 PM at Indiana Humanities for a public lecture with the Speculative Play and Just Futurities program scholars in residence\, David Trujillo and cat mahari. \n\n\nSet in the Vietnam War era\, David Trujillo’s stage play Many May Not Return reflects the complex relationship in the Mexican-American community with the concept of national military service as recalled in three wars—the current one\, Korea\, and World War II. A Chicano/Latino family in crisis as a consequence of two forces: the undeclared Vietnam War and their economic conditions as a working-class family. How do families face the issues of war while living in a nation that is continuously at war? \nNestled by the ecstatic communal of Chicago House and sensual partnership of Chicago Stepping\, cat mahari’s Sugar in the Raw is a journey of intimacy\, trust\, and touch in Blk Chicago.  Dovetailing with contemporary Blk Chicago cultural divergences as part of its process of resonance between the past\, present\, and future; the project journeys through surrealist animation\, powerful vignettes\, choreographic passages\, archival footage and autobiographical interviews. Spanning multiple generations and crossing relationship paradigms\, the film will be a performative tapestry of community through which changes strengthen bonds of commonality\, and build on tension between individual expression and partnership.\n______\n\nDavid Trujillo (Los Angeles\, California) is a labor and community activist and working-class playwright. His company\, Community Professionals\, was founded in 2019 and provides an outlet for experimental community-based writing and theater presentations. Raised in Fresno\, California\, where his parents were farmworkers\, Trujillo worked in the fields himself. He left to enter college at California State University\, Los Angeles; attend the Harvard Trade Union program; and received a Master’s degree at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He is currently retired from union work and continues to write in Los Angeles\, California. Trujillo orients himself through politically conscious plays that tackle racism\, oppression\, and exploitation presented to the audience through creative storytelling that both critiques and empowers them. However\, he is not just telling a story; the plot always delivers a message for how to proceed. Trujillo challenges the idea of what theater should be while addressing working-class and social justice issues is paramount. Past stage plays include ‘Filthy Laundry’ (2024)\, ‘Many May Not Return’ (2022)\, ‘Legacy of A Garage Band\,’ (2023)\, ‘Vincent’ (2024) and others. He continues to write and believes that in the years to come\, class-conscious art and political theater will be more important than ever. \ncat mahari (Chicago\, Illinois) is founder of the Art Omi: Blk\, an international residency program supporting self-identified Black artists\, she cultivates spaces for artists to expand their practices through experimentation and community dialogue. mahari is a long-time culture bearer of Hip Hop and House. Her interest lies in thinking through assumptive logics of emotional and psychomateriality. She considers the public-facing practice of her work to require a non-disciplinary imagined root\, where she engages visibility through sound and movement as generative architectonics—material\, social\, and emotional. Her work examines the body as both source and conduit\, shaped by lineages and improvisational rigor of the vernacular. cat’s most recent project is blk ark: the impossible manifestation (2022– 2024)\, performed at MCA-Chicago\, Pact Zollverein\, and CultureHub NYC\, a triptych installation of movement\, sound\, and text on play and Hip Hop anarcho-choreographies. With a distinctive vision of interdisciplinary art-making\, cat’s awards include a 2025 Chicago Dancemakers Lab Award\, 2024 DCASE Independent Artist Project grant\, a 2023 MAP Fund Microgrant\, 2022 Dance/USA Fellowship\, and a 2021 3Arts Award.\n_______\nPlease be advised that this public lecture will explore subjects related to race\, violence\, and identity. These discussions might include sensitive content that could be distressing or triggering for some participants. We encourage all attendees to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being and feel free to step away from the session if needed. \nThe Speculative Play and Just Futurities (SPJF) program leverages narrative storytelling and creative worldbuilding in speculative writing and design\, including science fiction\, fantasy\, gaming\, and new digital media like virtual reality\, to challenge oppression and reimagine our world. It focuses on creating forums for discussing and theorizing literature to envision just futures. Central to SPJF is a residency for emerging scholars and creators\, fostering intellectual and creative growth. SPJF also hosts weekly colloquia for students and faculty\, featuring resident interactions and collaborative learning opportunities. Speculative Play and Just Futurities is made possible through the generous support of the Mellon\nFoundation. SPJF is a collaboration between the IUPUI Arts and Humanities Institute\, the Center for Africana Studies and Culture\, and the Ray Bradbury Center.

SUMMARY:Beloved Community Conversation Series: Militarism
DESCRIPTION:The Martin Luther King Center is partnering with Butler University’s Desmond Tutu Peace Lab to present the Beloved Community Conversations Series. The conversations in the four-part series will focus on the “triple evils” identified by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (poverty\, racism\, and militarism) along with environmental degradation.

SUMMARY:Writing Workshop: Samuel Love
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Sam will share best practices (and occasional failed approaches) from more than three decades of experience as an oral historian. Producing a good oral history involves more than just pressing record and asking a few questions. Sam will cover the process of conducting an oral history project\, from selecting the right topic to preserving your work for posterity. At the end of the workshop participants will learn how to build enthusiasm for the project\, how to make their potential respondents comfortable\, how to develop open-ended questions that yield detailed\, thoughtful answers\, and tips for preserving and promoting the finished project. Far more than just an academic practice\, oral histories are useful in producing family histories\, community history projects\, and for preserving institutional memory and wisdom of community organizations and businesses. \nSAMUEL LOVE is a social practice artist from Gary\, Indiana who organizes public projects that connect communities to their cultural histories through publishing\, multi-media installations\, and performance. He is a 2019-2020 fellow with the Center for Community Progress Community Revitalization Fellowship and the Indiana Arts Commission On Ramp Fellowship and is the editor of the forthcoming Gary Anthology for Belt Publishing.

SUMMARY:Speculative Play & Just Futurities Public Lecture: Dr. Kanika Batra
DESCRIPTION:“Black Freedom: From Selma to Soweto” Public Lecture featuring Dr. Kanika Batra\n\n\nBlack Freedom from Selma to Soweto examines women’s leadership in 1960s–70s student movements\, revealing their vital role in racial and gender equality in the U.S. and South Africa.  Join the IU Indianapolis Arts and Humanities Institute on August 19\, 2025\, 6:30pm at Indiana Humanities for a public lecture with Dr. Kanika Batra\, their August 2025 scholar in residence with the Speculative Play and Just Futurities program.\n\n\nAlthough Selma and Soweto are the most famous markers of two globally inspirational struggles for racial equality in the last half of the twentieth century\, the movements themselves are known largely through the lives and ideas of a few charismatic leaders. Charting multiple forms of leadership and influence\, movement participants\, historians\, social scientists\, and novelists has revised this focus on male leaders\, exclusion of women’s roles\, and the perception that South African student activists borrowed their ideas from those in the United States.\n\n\n\n\nDr. Kanika Batra is Professor of English and Affiliate Faculty in Women’s Studies at Texas Tech University. She researches and teaches transnational feminist and queer studies\, globalization\, urbanization\, postcolonial and comparative literature. She the author of Caribbean Poetry: Derek Walcott and Edward Brathwaite (2001)\, Feminist Visions and Queer Futures in Postcolonial Drama (2011)\, and Worlding Postcolonial Sexualities: Publics\, Counterpublics\, Human Rights (2022)\, winner of the 2020 National Women’s Studies Association award in Subversive Histories and Feminist Futures.\nInformation about Kanika Batra’s artwork and creative research is available at kanikabatra.com.\n\n____\nPlease be advised that this workshop will explore subjects related to race\, violence\, and identity. These discussions might include sensitive content that could be distressing or triggering for some participants. We encourage all attendees to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being and feel free to step away from the session if needed.\n____\nThe Speculative Play and Just Futurities (SPJF) program leverages narrative storytelling and creative worldbuilding in speculative writing and design\, including science fiction\, fantasy\, gaming\, and new digital media like virtual reality\, to challenge oppression and reimagine our world. It focuses on creating forums for discussing and theorizing literature to envision just futures. Central to SPJF is a residency for emerging scholars and creators\, fostering intellectual and creative growth. SPJF also hosts weekly colloquia for students and faculty\, featuring resident interactions and collaborative learning opportunities. Speculative Play and Just Futurities is made possible through the generous support of the Mellon Foundation. SPJF is a collaboration between the IU Indianapolis Arts and Humanities Institute\, the Center for Africana Studies and Culture\, and the Ray Bradbury Center.

SUMMARY:Hubert Ver Mehren and His Quilts\, Kits\, and Catalogs
DESCRIPTION:Step into the fascinating world of one of quilting’s most mysterious figures in this illuminating lecture on Hubert Ver Mehren and his significant impact on the quilt world of the 1930s. \nDespite his remarkable influence\, Ver Mehren remains largely unknown to many quilt enthusiasts—a creative genius who marketed his extraordinary patterns anonymously or under pseudonyms. This presentation pulls back the curtain on his secretive career and showcases the breathtaking scope of his design sensibility. \nVer Mehren’s patterns are considered some of the most complex and dramatic designs of their day\, ranging from spectacular giant medallions to elegant embroideries. The lecture will explore his distinctive aesthetic and why his work represented the pinnacle of quilt design during this vibrant period in quilting history. \nLearn how Ver Mehren’s artistic vision challenged conventional design boundaries and influenced quilting trends of the era\, even as the man himself remained in the shadows. Discover why quilt historians consider his rediscovery so significant and what his work reveals about the evolution of American quilting. \nThis presentation complements the special Hubert Ver Mehren exhibit currently on display at the Quilters Hall of Fame museum\, offering deeper context and appreciation for these remarkable works. \nFor more information\, visit the Quilters Hall of Fame website\, email admin@quiltershalloffame.net\, or call 765.664.9333. \nThis program received support from an Indiana Humanities Action Grant.
