SUMMARY:What's at Stake
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) reopens at 5 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11\, 2024\, with a new exhibition\, “What’s at Stake.” \nCurated by Catharine Clark\, owner and founding director of Catharine Clark Gallery in San Francisco\, this exhibition will feature artists Zeina Barakeh\, Al Farrow\, and Masami Teraoka. This compelling exhibition explores the urgent issues of our time\, delving into the mechanisms of war and colonialism while interrogating the unpredictability and legitimacy of armed conflict. It will be on view through March 23\, 2024. \n“What’s at Stake” sheds light on the devastating impacts of war\, human rights violations\, and environmental collapse\, compelling viewers to pause and reflect on our collective responsibility to one another. The exhibition raises essential questions about the consequences when violence goes unchecked and challenges us to consider what is truly at stake in a world grappling with these pressing issues. \nSMA Executive Director Scott Malbaurn shared\, “During a recent trip to San Francisco with museum members\, we visited solo exhibitions at Catharine Clark Gallery featuring Masami Teraoka\, Al Farrow\, and Zeina Barakeh. Recognizing the common theme of exploring the impact of war\, especially for artists raised in wartime milieus like Teraoka and Barakeh alongside the sculpture of Al Farrow\, which are assembled with war time munitions\, we decided to present these shows collectively as “What’s at Stake.” This group exhibition becomes a poignant question and statement\, resonating with contemporary violent events that seem to be happening all of the time globally.” \nAn opening reception will take place 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday\, Jan. 11. Curator Catharine Clark and select artists will be in attendance. The opening reception is free and open to the public; complimentary wine and hors d’oeuvres will be provided. The Museum will be closed on Saturday\, Jan. 13 for a private event. \nNew Masterworks on Loan and Highlights from the Permanent Collection will also be on view in the Entry Gallery. Museum hours will be Tuesday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is always free\, but a $5 donation is suggested. \nWhat:\nSchneider Museum of Art presents: “What’s at Stake \nFree\, and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Windows in Time: A Corset Won't Kill You: Demystifying the 19th Century Woman's Wardrobe
DESCRIPTION:From the underpinnings out\, this talk will explore the ways societal norms\, class differentials\, self-expression\, the Industrial Revolution\, and even the invention of the bicycle impacted the world of fashion. \nCassidy Hausmann-Mason has six years of historical tailoring experience and over a decade of antique collecting under her belt. Cassidy is excited to share her wealth of knowledge and help her audience look past the myths\, biases\, and preconceptions that so often color the discussions of the 19th century woman’s wardrobe. \nPrograms are presented in Medford (first Wednesdays\, in-person and online) and again in Ashland (second Wednesdays\, in-person). Recordings of Medford presentations are available on the JCLS Beyond YouTube channel. \nThe monthly Windows in Time lunchtime lectures feature well-known writers and historians and bring alive the people\, values\, and events that shaped our southern Oregon heritage. Lectures are jointly sponsored by the Southern Oregon Historical Society (SOHS) and Jackson County Library Services.

SUMMARY:Bridging Divides: FREE in-person Video & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The latest installment in the monthly video and discussion series “Bridging Divides” will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday\, March 13\, at the Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library\, 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland. \nThe discussion is entitled “I Don’t Know.” A prerequisite to bridging divides is being able to not be so certain about\, and cling so tightly\, to our perspectives. \n“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness\, curiosity and a willingness to embrace paradox\, rather than choose up sides.”\n— Tony Schwartz \nAre you feeling concerned about the growing divides occurring in our world? The first step\, and one that each one of us can do\, is to “depolarize within.” We do this by learning about our human “operating systems\,” becoming self-aware and then making different choices about how we behave. \nLearn how to “depolarize within.” Watch insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives. \nBridging divides is held at 7 p.m. every second Wednesday. Free admission\, donations welcome.

SUMMARY:"Bridging Divides" Learning to Depolarize our Relationships with Marla Estes
DESCRIPTION:A Monthly Video and Discussion Series Facilitated by Marla Estes\, MA.\nHeld every Second Wednesday\, 7 PM at RVML.\nMarch 13 Topic: “Let Go of Certainty” \nA pre-requisite to bridging divides is being able to not be so certain about ~ and cling so tightly ~ to our perspectives. \n“Let go of certainty. The opposite isn’t uncertainty. It’s openness\, curiosity\, and a willingness to embrace paradox\, rather than choose up sides. The ultimate challenge is to accept ourselves exactly as we are\, but never stop trying to learn and grow.” – Tony Schwartz \nSeries Description: Are you feeling concerned about the growing divides occurring in our world? The first step\, and one that each one of us can do\, is to “depolarize within.” We do this by learning about our human “operating systems\,” becoming self-aware and then making different choices about how we behave. \nPolarization not only diminishes our capacity for true deliberative dialog and problem solving\, but it is dividing society into contentious\, conflicted parts. Left unchecked\, it is becoming a fundamental threat to social harmony and ultimately the core mechanisms of democratic society. \nJoin facilitator Marla Estes\, MA every 2nd Wednesday of the month at 7 pm and learn how to “depolarize within.” Watch fascinating and insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives. \nWith a background in Psychology\, Marla created Building Bridges in 2017 to address the growing social and political polarization in our country. \nFor over 15 years\, she has been giving presentations\, movie nights\, book groups\, workshops\, and classes helping people learn to develop insights and skills in approaching difficult conversations\, deepening and growing healthy\, functional\, and fulfilling relationships. \nMarla is currently the Jackson County Coordinator for Urban Rural Action which builds relationships through differences.
