SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Learning to See: A Novel of Dorothea Lange\, the Woman who Revealed the Real America by Elise Hooper
DESCRIPTION:Elise Hooper’s biography of Dorothea Lange follows her life from early successes running a portrait studio in San Francisco to her Depression-era work documenting America’s suffering and injustice. As she pursues her art through personal and professional turmoil\, Lange’s camera becomes a powerful tool for empathy\, reform\, and truth-telling\, even at great personal cost. This discussion will tie into themes in the exhibition For the People\, By the People. \nPlease note that this event will not be livestreamed or posted on YouTube.\nAll book discussions are free\, open to the public\, and take place in-person at the Meader Fine Arts Library. Participants do not need to have read the book\, but it will help facilitate the overall discussion. The author will not be in attendance unless otherwise stated. Preregistration is encouraged.

SUMMARY:Artful Evening: Singing Citizenship: The Origins and Role of America’s Anthem
DESCRIPTION:The story of the U.S. national anthem—“The Star-Spangled Banner”—is surprising and too little-known. Among the typical misunderstandings is that its author\, Francis Scott Key\, wrote a poem. In fact\, he wrote a lyric to a well-known tune\, creating a song that brought emotion into the drama of America. Key sought both to bring Americans together and to inspire active citizenship. This talk by Dr. Mark Clague will explore the forgotten details of Key’s song\, how it came to be an important symbol in American life\, and what it means for Americans today. \nMark Clague\, Ph.D. serves as Executive Director of the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan and Professor of Musicology at its School of Music\, Theatre & Dance. His research centers on music’s role in forging community and on topics from musical institutions to American patriotism. His book O Say Can You Hear?: A Cultural Biography of “The Star-Spangled Banner” was selected as an Editor’s Pick by The New York Times. \nAll hybrid events will be livestreamed to our YouTube page and can be found under the “Live” tab. Recordings of select past events are available on YouTube as well.
