SUMMARY:INconversation with Tess Gunty
DESCRIPTION:Join Indiana Humanities and the Indiana Authors Awards for a conversation between National Book Award winner Tess Gunty and Indiana author Susan Neville at the Indiana Landmarks Center on Monday\, July 17\, at 6:30pm Eastern. \nSCHEDULE \n6:00pm | Doors open \n6:30pm | INconversation with Tess Gunty begins \n7:15pm | Q&A begins \n7:30pm | Book signing begins \nSouth Bend-native Tess Gunty’s debut novel\, The Rabbit Hutch\, won the 2022 National Book Award for fiction. Set during one sweltering week in July and culminating in a bizarre act of violence\, The Rabbit Hutch explores the interconnected stories of residents of a low-cost housing complex in the fictional city of Vacca Vale\, Indiana. Loosely based on her hometown of South Bend\, Gunty’s Vacca Vale is filled with distinct characters and vivid imagery of the post-industrial Midwest. Both intimate and sweeping\, The Rabbit Hutch explores dialectical themes of loneliness and community\, entrapment and freedom\, religious dogma and mysticism. \nGunty’s novel also won the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize and the Barnes and Noble Discover Prize. It was named one of twelve essential reads by The New Yorker\, and a best book of the year by TIME\, NPR\, the Chicago Tribune\, People\, the New York Times and others. Her work has appeared in The Iowa Review\, Granta\, LitHub\, Joyland\, Freeman’s and elsewhere. Gunty received an undergraduate degree from Notre Dame University and holds an MFA in Creative Writing from NYU\, where she was a Lillian Vernon Fellow. She now lives in Los Angeles. \nGunty will be joined in conversation with Indiana author and Butler University professor emerita\, Susan Neville\, who writes essays and stories inspired by the history\, culture and people of Indiana. In 2022\, her book of short stories\, The Town of Whispering Dolls\, a book which also explores post-industrial America through the lens of a fictional Indiana town\, won the Indiana Authors Award for fiction. Neville graduated from North Central High School in Indianapolis\, DePauw University\, Bowling Green State University\, and in 2021 retired from teaching at Butler University after 38 years. She lives in Indianapolis. \nHeld in partnership between Indiana Humanities and the Indiana State Library’s Center for the Book\, this event coincides with the paperback release of The Rabbit Hutch and the upcoming National Book Festival. The novel has been selected by the Indiana Center for the Book as the state’s 2023 contribution to the Library of Congress’s Great Reads from Great Places program held at the Festival. \nBooks by both authors will be available for purchase with a book signing to follow. \nAbout Indiana Humanities  Indiana Humanities connects people\, opens minds and enriches lives by creating and facilitating programs that encourage Hoosiers to think\, read and talk.

SUMMARY:Black Heritage Preservation  Program Research Training Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Indiana Landmarks’ Black Heritage Preservation Program seeks to identify\, save and celebrate places significant to the state’s Black history\, but how do you preserve history that you don’t know exists? \nOne of the challenges in preserving and promoting Black heritage is the lack of historical research. Qualified research is vital for preparing nominations to the National Register of Historic Places\, developing local preservation protections\, and creating historical markers\, articles\, books and interpretive projects. Well-documented history is also often required to be eligible for preservation grants. \nTo address this lack of research and to help partners across the state elevate the stories of Black Hoosiers\, Indiana Landmarks\, Indiana Humanities and Freetown Village are partnering to present a daylong workshop sharing techniques and resources for uncovering and documenting Black heritage. \nThe workshop will feature a performance by Freetown Village actors showing how Black history can be brought to life\, morning sessions offering research and writing tips\, and afternoon sessions providing information about writing grant proposals and connecting with grant-making organizations. See the full itinerary here. \nParticipants can choose to attend either in person or virtually. In-person attendance is capped at 50 participants and lunch will be provided. Those joining virtually will receive a Zoom link prior to the workshop. To register for either option\, click on the RSVP link above. \nFor more information about the event or tickets\, email info@indianahumanities.org or call 317.616.9798.
