SUMMARY:NANORIMO Prep Workshop With Larry Sweazy
DESCRIPTION:Here’s the big secret about writing novels: the hardest part of writing a novel is finishing it. The day-by-day grind it takes to write a novel can be overwhelming. Great ideas tire out. Real life gets in the way. Doubt overtakes the dream. In this interactive workshop\, Larry D. Sweazy will share proven tips and help beginning and seasoned writers alike\, to build the skills that they need to finish that special novel. Topics discussed will be time management\, building a toolbox\, finding support\, writing tips\, and most importantly living life as a writer\, even if they’re not published. Students should come prepared to write in class. Exercises include determining how many words can be written in a sitting\, character creation\, designing titles\, writing query letters\, and submission techniques. This workshop is designed to jumpstart a writer’s dream and turn it into a happy reality. \nThis workshop is made possible by a grant through Indiana Humanities. Larry D. Sweazy will conduct this workshop through Zoom. Patrons can join us at Munster Branch to watch the Zoom presentation or join through Zoom with a computer\, laptop\, or phone. An email address is required. Programs are subject to change. The library will contact registrants with any changes. If you have any questions\, please call 219-836-8450.

SUMMARY:Mirrors and Windows: Reading for & Beyond Empathy
DESCRIPTION:Scholar Rudine Sims Bishop and author Grace Lin liken reading to mirrors and windows. Some books are mirrors\, reflecting one’s identity. In the wake of recent race-based discussions in the US\, many readers sought windows\, books that offered insights into differing lives and experiences. This talk explores the connections between reading and empathy\, and the benefits of reading outside our comfort zones. What are strategies for reading empathetically? On the other hand\, what are the limits to this approach to empathy\, especially when reading across differences of race\, ability\, or gender? Do certain narratives more readily foster compassion? \nThis event will be held at Spes Unica Hall Room 134 at Saint Mary’s College\, Notre Dame\, IN 46556. \nLeah Milne (she/her) is the author of Novel Subjects: Authorship as Radical Self-Care in Multiethnic American Narratives\, which won the 2021 Midwest Modern Language Association Book Award and examines multiculturalism and self-care in works by authors such as Carmen Maria Machado\, Ruth Ozeki\, Toni Morrison\, and Louise Erdrich. As an Associate Professor of English at the University of Indianapolis\, she teaches multicultural\, postcolonial\, and young adult literature. Her work has been published in journals and magazines such as The Journal of American Culture\, African American Review\, Newsweek\, The Hill\, and Ms. Magazine.

From the shores of Lake Michigan to the fields and farms of central Indiana\, the Indiana Humanities Unearthed Film Tour will provide intimate looks into the lives of Indiana residents working\, exploring\, and caring for the land. \nSee the trailer here: https://youtu.be/4GazqnQOJfQ. \nSCHEDULE: \n7:00 PM Doors open (Please note: early entry will not be permitted) \n7:30 PM Film screening begins \n9:00 PM Film screening concludes / Filmmaker Q&A begins \n9:30 Q&A concludes \nThis event is free and open to the public.

Please check our website and Facebook page (@INhumanities) for the most up-to-date information on health and safety protocols at this and other locations. \nABOUT THE FILMS: \nWORM LAND \nAbout the Film: \nIn Worm Land\, farmer Keith Miller champions sustainable agriculture\, embracing no-till practices and advocating for nightcrawlers – not the little wigglers. As he faces retirement\, he reflects on a lifetime dedicated to the land. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nWill Wertz: Known for deep eye contact\, Will is a listener first. From documentary to fiction\, his films are marked by their thoughtful intentions. He is an Emmy winner\, national Addy nominee\, and film festival frequenter. Though\, you won’t often find him in the middle of those parties but rather he’ll be on the side\, in conversation\, mesmerized\, and listening. \nKolton Dallas: Kolton was raised on a farm where he fell in love with the quiet and often overlooked beauty of everyday life. With an Amish father and a hippie mother\, he’s patient and perseverant. Home videos gave him a way to listen\, computer science taught him how to handle the tech\, and in shooting skate videos he fell backwards into filmmaking. \nSYMBIOTIC HUM \nAbout the Film: \nSymbiotic Hum is a mesmerizing audiovisual poem by Jessica Dunn and Landon Caldwell that celebrates Indiana’s biodiversity through a series of artistic explorations. During the creation of the film\, the artist-filmmakers immersed themselves into the natural world by researching\, collecting\, and documenting as many native plants and seeds as possible throughout the year. Through a seamless blend of animation\, soundscapes\, poetry\, and macro/microscope videography\, the film takes audiences on an enchanting exploration of the natural world from new perspectives. \nSymbiotic Hum is more than just a film—it’s a call to reconnect with nature. Dunn and Caldwell extended their collaboration to the community\, inviting individuals to document native plants in the wild and submit photos to be incorporated in the film. Through this collaboration\, the film inspires viewers to take a closer look at the world around them and appreciate the magic that lies just beyond our doorsteps. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nJessica Dunn is a multimedia artist known for her dreamlike worlds combining animation\, sound\, and physical installations. With a scientific curiosity\, she finds inspiration by investigating the natural world as well as psychological realms of consciousness\, incorporating research with experimental practices. Lately\, Dunn has extended her practice into filmmaking including short documentaries and narrative animations. No matter the format\, Dunn’s work invites the viewer to open their perception to explore new realms of reality. \nLandon Caldwell is a composer and multi-disciplinary artist in Indianapolis whose work examines environment\, family\, & class through the language of intuition and other hidden layers of reality. Through sound\, words\, color and other materials\, his work creates environments that redirect attention to the present and open new realities through the minutiae of the everyday.Since 2016 he has co-operated Medium Sound\, producing a number of the label’s releases. From 2017 to 2020 he was a co-owner/operator of A-Space\, a community-focused audio workspace. He has toured in the United States\, Canada\, and Europe and is regularly engaged with artists and musicians across the Midwest and beyond.His collaborative work expands into multi-disciplinary fields\, working with film\, visual arts\, sculpture\, poetry\, dance\, and more. \nFINDING OUR SENSE OF PLACE IN MADISON COUNTY \nAbout the Film: \nThe landscape in Indiana plays a significant role in the identity of Hoosiers\, especially the 20-mile stretch of the White River that flows through Madison County. For centuries\, individuals have utilized this Indiana landscape to contemplate and commune with the natural world\, positively impacting their psychological and spiritual well-being and bolstering their mental health and happiness. \nAbout the Filmmaker: \nJames E. Moriarty graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1991 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

James has been happily married to his wife\, Ingrid\, since 1996. She is his muse\, business partner\, and best friend who supports him in all his creative endeavors. \nGROWN IN GARY \nAbout the Film: \nA classic Hoosier story of farms\, faith\, friends\, and community… told with a Calumet twist! \nIn a city dominated by a steel mill\, where a fifth of the built environment is abandoned and a third of all properties are dilapidated\, urban farming offers a welcome change to the appearance of the streets and brings new economic possibilities to the neighborhoods. \nDirector Raymar Brunson documents the movements of the growing season and the motions of Gary’s growers as they regenerate the soil\, educate the community\, share their harvests\, and reflect in their own words on what compels them to practice agriculture in the city. \nGrown In Gary documents a growing movement in Northwest Indiana. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nSamuel Love is the editor of The Gary Anthology (Belt\, 2020).

Gary has a sorted past when it comes to its greenspaces and allowing access to them. The fact that a garden located within the Steel City has ended up being seen as an exemplary prototype for universally designed projects across Indiana is a cause to celebrate. \nAbout the Filmmakers: \nGretchen Sipp\, Production Coordinator: Gary\, Indiana native\, Gretchen Sipp began her career with gaining hands-on experience in the marketing and business building space as well as in the computer and tech skill facilitation sector. She has also established herself as a respected graphic designer and multimedia specialist.

SUMMARY:Who was George Tompkins?: Exploring the Politics and Personhood of a Lynching Victim
DESCRIPTION:Who was George Tompkins? In 1922\, a 19-year-old Black man was found dead in Riverside Park in Indianapolis.

SUMMARY:Speculative Play and Just Futurities | Dr. Jazma Sutton and Dr. Emmanuel Saboro
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jazma Sutton and Dr. Emmanuel Saboro will present “Moving Toward Freedom: Black Women\, Slavery\, and Freedom in Antebellum Indiana” and Sites of Memory: Visuality and Metaphors of the Slave Experience in Ghana. \n\n\nDr. Jazma Sutton (she/her/hers) is an assistant professor at Miami University. Her research focuses on the histories of slavery and freedom in the U.S. with a particular interest in African American women’s history and the Midwest. She is currently working on a book project that chronicles the lives of Black women–free\, enslaved\, and self-liberated– in antebellum Indiana and the ways in which they overcame social\, legal\, and geographic obstacles to develop regional identities\, carve out space for themselves as citizens\, and ensure family survival. \nDr. Sutton aims to explore the potential of speculative archives to uncover new ways of documenting the experiences of Black women in the antebellum Midwest. Through the creation of a digital archival resource guide\, her project seeks to provide a critique of the production\, collection\, categorization\, and future discoverability of sources related to Black women within Indiana’s predominantly white archives. Moving beyond traditional archival practices to center the sources\, archives\, and oral histories produced by nineteenth-century Black women and their descendants\, her project demonstrates how Black archives\, and descendant knowledge in particular\, can reshape our view of the past and how we preserve it in the future. \nDr. Emmanuel Saboro\, PhD (he/him) is an Associate Professor in Transdisciplinary Studies: African Literature\, Cultural Memory\, and Slavery Studies at the Centre for African and International Studies\, University of Cape Coast\, Ghana. He obtained his PhD at the Wilberforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation (WISE)\, University of Hull\, England. He has published extensively on memories of slavery in Ghana. His most recent book is Wounds of Our Past: Remembering Captivity\, Enslavement and Resistance in African Oral Narratives (2022) published in the Global Slavery Series\, Brill Leiden and Boston. \nDuring the SPJF Residency at Indiana University\, Professor Saboro will be working on the project\, Sites of Memory: Visuality and Metaphors of the Slave Experience in Ghana. This is a work in progress and builds on an already vibrant body of scholarship on memory studies in Africa. Its major originality is that it will expand our current understanding of the enterprise of enslavement and the slave trade by calling for a re-reading of key cultural and historical sites\, connected to the slave experience in Ghana beyond their structural representations but as symbolic spaces that can “speak” and be understood only through the imagination and the invocation of metaphor. \n\nThe Speculative Play and Just Futurities program leverages narrative storytelling and creative world-building 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. \nSpeculative 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:Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows
DESCRIPTION:Join Lake County Public Library as it hosts Dr. Tony Jean Dickerson of the Advancing Racial Equity Speakers Bureau. Dr. Dickerson will present her talk Black Quilters: Hard Topics\, Soft Blows. \nArts hold a vital place of importance in our society. Quilts\, often seen as “women’s work” and “sheer arts and crafts” by some\, actually have a prominent place in telling the struggles and triumphs of many cultures. Moreover\, the African American community has fought to tell its stories and quilts have been used as an important vehicle to tell these stories. From individuals and guilds alike\, the artistry of African American quilters can no longer be denied as frontrunners of the quilting scene. \nDr. Tony Jean Dickerson (she/her) was born and raised in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, and has earned degrees from Lincoln University\, University of Central Missouri\, and University of Missouri-Kansas City. In 2019\, after a successful thirty-year career in education she earned her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Kansas. She returned home in 2017 and became the lead faculty for Martin University’s School of Education’s Teacher Preparation Program in June of 2022. Besides teaching\, Dr. Dickerson is a nationally recognized quilter and is a member of 8 local and national quilt guilds including the founding president of the Akoma Ntoso Modern Quilt Guild of Central Indiana. \nNote: This event is part of Indiana Humanities’ Advancing Racial Equity Community Read program.
