History on Tap: Hot Tamale Louie Telling Stories Without Words
<p>Sometime between chemo and radiation, University of Iowa Music Professor, John Rapson, was struck by inspiration in the form of a New Yorker article. The piece, “Citizen Khan” by Kathryn Schulz, tells of Zarif Khan, who as a teenager left his home near the Khyber Pass in Afghanistan and eventually settled in the Wyoming town of Sheldon in 1907. Khan earned citizenship only to have it stripped because of his ethnicity. Rapson recognized a story of immigration that echoes today’s political conversation about what it means to be an American. Rapson, along with others, created a thirteen-section musical suite evoking different aspects of Khan’s life. Rapson will show video clips from the 2016 performance of Hot Tamale Louie to explore how music can give unique expression to the narratives that most compel and captivate us.</p><p><em>This History on Tap is made possible by Humanities Iowa</em></p> 2019-08-23 18:30:00 -0500

"Amazigh Women’s Arts: Visual Expressions of Berber Identity" by Cynthia Becker
<p>Amazigh people (Berbers) are indigenous to North Africa. In Berber culture, women play a central role in creating the aesthetic and symbolic forms that make Amazigh identity unique, and they achieve considerable status and respect. Motherhood is highly esteemed by the Berbers, and women incorporate symbols and colors that relate to fertility into their textiles, clothing, tattoos, and hairstyles, as expressions of female agency. In this lecture, Cynthia Becker, Associate Professor in the History of Art and Architecture Department at Boston University, considers the artistic legacy of the Berbers within North African history by examining the creative output of Amazigh women. Despite societal influences that have changed daily life in Berber communities, women continue to produce and use art inspired by ancestral forms—especially during rural weddings—demonstrating the crucial role women play in preserving Amazigh heritage.</p><p>Professor Cynthia Becker is a scholar of African arts specializing in the arts of the Imazighen (Berbers) in northwestern Africa, specifically Morocco, Algeria, and Niger. Her research has been supported by a Fulbright grant and several grants from the American Institute of Maghreb Studies. Professor Becker has served as a consultant for numerous museum exhibitions and published articles. Her book <em>Amazigh Arts in Morocco: Women Shaping Berber Identity</em> was published by the University of Texas Press in July of 2006. Her forthcoming book, <em>Blackness in Post-Slavery Morocco: A History of Gnawa Visual and Performing Arts</em> considers the history of the trans-Saharan slave trade and its implications on material culture in northern Africa. It will be published in 2020. Other projects include the visual culture and history of the Mardi Gras Indians of New Orleans (her hometown).</p>

Mindfulness for Families at Prairiewoods
<p>We continually look for creative ways to bring awareness, compassion, kindness, peace and tranquility into our homes. These monthly opportunities at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) are for parents and children from kindergarten through grade 12 to attend together. We will focus on simple, mindful practices to create peaceful awareness in the parent, child and home. Facilitators Kim Seward, BSN, RN, CMI (Certified Mindfulness Instructor), and Ann Jackson, PBVM, will guide us to explore and engage fun mindfulness activities to do together as a family. Practicing foundational aspects of mindful awareness—noticing senses, emotions and thoughts in fun and practical ways—will cultivate awareness, a greater understanding of emotions, kindness and compassion in all relationships, especially the parent-child relationship. As parents and children attend these sessions together, they will build a comprehensive mindfulness toolkit to use for future family enjoyment. Monthly themes include Foundation of Breath (Sunday, Sept. 15, 3–4:30 p.m.), Awareness and Presence (Monday, Oct. 21, 6–7:30 p.m.), Gratitude and Kindness (Sunday, Nov. 17, 3–4:30 p.m.) and Emotions (Monday, Dec. 16, 6–7:30 p.m.). Some activities will occur outside, so please dress accordingly. The cost is $20 per family for each session or $60 per family for the four-month series (if paid in advance). Some financial assistance is available. Each session is limited to 30 total parents and children, and registration is required by the previous Monday. (Please include the total number and ages of participants at registration.)
