SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Nuclear Power: Unaffordable at any size
DESCRIPTION:Misinformation and disinformation have been the hallmarks of the fossil fuel corporate campaign to undermine climate science and thwart action on climate change. \nThe nuclear industry is not far behind as it constantly tries desperately to sell itself as a viable\, if not essential\, component of a low greenhouse gas emissions solution to the climate crisis. \nLloyd Marbet and Cathy Cudy of the Oregon Conservancy Foundatin will provide a presentation entitled “Nuclear Power: Unaffordable at Any Price” at 6 p.m. Wednesday\, July 17\, at the Rogue Valley Metaphysical Library\, 1757 Ashland St.\, Ashland. The pair will highlight the drawbacks of nuclear power\, including the oft-touted small modular nuclear reactor solution. \nFollowing the presentation\, Lloyd and Cathy will be joined by SOCAN co-facilitator Alan Journet for a panel discussion. SOCAN programs are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:The Dark Room: A Memoir of Triumph will be discussed by the author – Claudia Chotzen
DESCRIPTION:The Dark Room weaves a complex family tapestry\, the author’s personal experience growing up in the 1950s\, 60s\, and 70s as one of eight children of parents who fled Nazi Germany separately\, met and married quickly\, then re-started their lives as Americans in Seattle. \nHer mother juggled raising her eight children with her career as a photographer and her passion as a civil rights activist. To the outside world she was an icon\, a hero. \nInside the family home\, a different story unraveled. Claudia’s mother violated her trust and her body\, a betrayal of the most profound maternal bond. \nAnd yet\, The Dark Room is not a story of hatred\, revenge\, or bitterness; rather it is\, by turns\, healing\, funny\, and inspirational. Ultimately\, it is a testament about the ability to break the cycle of abuse\, to thrive and to love. \nPrior to writing The Dark Room\, Claudia was an attorney and a law clerk for a justice on the Hawaii Supreme Court. Later she became a television producer\, creating award-winning documentaries for the NBC and CBS affiliates in Honolulu. She is a mother to two sons\, a grandmother to four grandsons\, and a partner to her husband for almost 50 years.

SUMMARY:PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak
DESCRIPTION:Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art (SMA) is thrilled to announce its summer exhibition\, “PACING: Photographs by Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak.” \nThe exhibition will open at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, June 13\, and will be on view through August 10\, 2024. \nAbout the Exhibition: \nThe act of pacing involves moving forward in a measured\, rhythmic manner\, where each step is taken in consideration of the one before it. “PACING” explores this duality of ease and tension through the lens-based works of three midcareer\, female-identifying photographers: Dru Donovan\, Melanie Flood\, and Tarrah Krajnak. Each artist employs performative methods to document their bodies and those of others\, reflecting on their relationships to social histories\, expectations\, and structures. \nMeet the Artists: \nMelanie Flood has used the camera as a tool for self-expression throughout her life. Her photographs\, spanning from childhood to the present\, explore her evolving femininity and critique gender constructs through a blend of vulnerability and playful experimentation. \nTarrah Krajnak reclaims the photographic medium’s masculine history through her Indigenous transracial adoptee experience. Her interrelated works use the body to reenact lost histories\, employing rituals and performances to create a continuous connection between her presence\, the work’s origins\, and its future. \nDru Donovan highlights the strength and ability of the female body in both athletes and caregivers. Her crisp black-and-white images juxtapose the force and endurance required for various actions\, emphasizing the interdependence and mutual responsibility inherent in these roles. \nMore information: https://sma.sou.edu/exhibitions/pacing-photographs-by-dru-donovan-melanie-flood-and-tarrah-krajnak/ \nImage: Dru Donovan\, Liberty Pose\, 2017\, Video loop\, 35 x 57 inches\, courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Friday Talk - Building the Buzzway: Butterflies from the Valley to the Monument
DESCRIPTION:Could a butterfly fly from Grants Pass to Hyatt Lake and find (enough) nectar-rich flowering plants all along the way? Could that same butterfly locate enough of the native plants her babies (aka caterpillars) need to eat? The caterpillars of most butterflies (and moths) are ‘host specific’\, meaning they can eat only a specific one or two or few species of native plants – just like the monarch and the milkweed! Southern Oregon is home to almost 125 species of butterflies! Learn about some of the beautiful butterflies\, and the native plants they need\, that make their homes in the Monument and the Valley – and what each of us can do to help them fly further. \nThree presenters from Pollinator Project Rogue Valley will share their knowledge of butterflies and plants: \nDavid Lee Myers has chased\, studied\, and photographed butterflies since 1986\, authoring Wings in the Light: Wild Butterflies in North America\, Yale University Press. He has presented on citizen science to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. His current focus is on the food plants for butterfly caterpillars. Learn more at www.davidleemyersphoto.com. \nArti Kirch has been following a passion for the natural world her entire life\, beginning with a childhood spent in the glorious Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She has operated a nonprofit nursery specializing in native and Mediterranean-climate plants\, was a docent at state and regional parks\, and studied horticulture at several local colleges. Arti is a steadfast member of the Native Plant Society of Oregon and the California Native Plant Society. \nKristina Lefever is passionate about growing\, sharing\, and planting the native annuals\, perennials\, shrubs\, and trees that create the habitats that best support our region’s native pollinators\, and thus\, all the creatures that depend upon them. Since 2017\, she has been connecting people and pollinators through presentations\, gardens\, and projects that inspire\, educate\, and engage the community. \nThe Friday Hike and Learn sessions will take place in the Ashland Food Co-op Community Classroom at 300 N. Pioneer in Ashland from 6:00 to 7:30pm. The classroom is one block toward downtown from the grocery store on N 1st Street. \nFriends of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is a nonprofit organization and our mission is to support the protection\, restoration and conservation of the monument through service\, advocacy and education. Our Hike and Learn programs are designed to introduce the public to different topics and locations within the Monument. Hike and Learns are co-created with local scientists\, historians\, artists\, students\, and more.

SUMMARY:SOU Students present “Stanza to Stage” bringing poetry to life at OSF Green Show
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a FREE OSF Green Show Performance featuring Stanza to Stage on Saturday\, July 20th at 6:45pm on the OSF Green Show Stage “On the Bricks” at 15 S. Pioneer Street in Ashland. \nStanza to Stage is fun and bold physical theater through the lens of the poetic word. Fourteen students. One company. Poetry in motion as they bring to its feet the work of Joy Harjo\, Shel Silverstein\, Mary Oliver and others in a physical and fun 40-minute performance. Performed by students of the Southern Oregon University Theater Department and directed by Barret O’Brien. \nABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Barret O’Brien is an actor and author from New Orleans. Committed to creating work that is gentle on Earth’s natural resources\, O’Brien has staged plays internationally in such unconventional locales as abandoned bars\, off-grid farms\, and after-hours soup kitchens. He is also the founder of Finding Our Tales\, national storytelling workshops that embolden youth to share their voices through the tools of theatre. O’Brien has wagged Tales at City University of NY\, Southern Rep\, Yale University\, New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts\, Seasons Bereavement Programs\, Creative Connections\, Camp Make·a·Dream\, Beargrass Retreat\, The Siskiyou School\, and Southern Oregon University (among other locales).
