SUMMARY:Mary Ann Peters: the edge becomes the center
DESCRIPTION:The following description comes from the event organizer. \nSeattle artist Mary Ann Peters (born 1949\, Beaumont\, Texas) has attended to overlooked narratives for almost forty years\, interpreting her research through mediums including painting\, sculpture\, and installation. Peters unearths hidden diasporic histories\, often through travel\, and contextualizes them within her experiences of the contemporary Middle East as a second-generation Lebanese American. the edge becomes the center brings together the artist’s series this trembling turf for the first time and presents it alongside a new installation—works that together surface the ways forgotten and repressed pasts shape present experience. \nthis trembling turf features ten abstract drawings\, including one from the Frye’s collection\, which the artist crafts by applying thin strokes of white ink to black clayboard. The series interprets natural habitats where activity occurs beneath the surface\, with rhythmic patterns referencing sound waves used by archaeologists to uncover buried traces of civilization. These intricate drawings imagine the missing records of populations and cultures physically covered over\, reminding us that forgotten histories could be buried below us\, lost within our collective memory. \nThe exhibition’s new site-specific installation continues the artist’s ongoing impossible monuments series\, works of disparate materials and forms that memorialize disregarded details of socio-political events. Peters writes\, “I define an impossible monument as something that deserves reverence but by virtue of its incidental nature would never be elevated to the status of a monument.” Together\, these bodies of work ask viewers to consider which narratives are written into history and which are erased.

SUMMARY:Ferris Jabr at Town Hall
DESCRIPTION:Ferris Jabr visits Town Hall to explore the question: How much of our own planet do we actually understand? One of humanity’s oldest beliefs is that our world is alive. Though once ridiculed by some scientists\, the idea of Earth as a vast interconnected living system has gained acceptance in recent decades. \n\n\nPurchase tickets here.\n \nIn Becoming Earth: How Our Planet Came to Life\, Jabr examines the connections between life and geology through the many ways that living creatures\, including our own species\, have transformed the atmosphere\, oceans\, and continents throughout the planet’s history. Becoming Earth explores ecosystems\, discussing plants\, weather\, animal engineering\, the microscopic and the microbial. Additionally\, Jabr scrutinizes the human impact on Earth\, noting the ways that people have altered existence through fossil fuel consumption\, agriculture\, and pollution. \nDrawing on recent scientific insights\, the book reexamines the ancient idea that Earth itself is alive and investigates how this holistic perspective can help us restore longstanding ecological rhythms and possibly mitigate some of the worst outcomes of the climate crisis. From an experimental nature reserve in remote Siberia\, to the heart of the Amazon rainforest\, to a gold mine-turned-research lab a mile below the Earth’s surface\, Jabr invites readers to journey around the world to better understand our planet and our role in it.\n \nFerris Jabr is a contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine. He has also written for The New Yorker\, Harper’s\, The Atlantic\, National Geographic\, and Scientific American. He is the recipient of a Whiting Foundation Creative Nonfiction Grant and fellowships from UC Berkeley and MIT. His work has been anthologized in several editions of Best American Science and Nature Writing. Ferris Jabr lives in Portland\, Oregon\, with his husband\, Ryan\, their dog\, Jack\, and more plants than they can count.
