The Pull of Horses on National and Local Histories and Identities
<p>Along with our ancestors, horses helped build Iowa City, the state, and the nation. In the process, they profoundly shaped human identities. This exhibition explores the physical and social impact of these huge, powerful animals by screening the original documentary film <em>The Pull of Horses in Urban American Performance, 1860-1920</em> at life-sized scale amid displays of local equine history. The exhibition contains glimpses of Iowa City town and campus life, as well as national equestrian culture – especially as multitudes of women took up the sport of riding and advocated for suffrage. Original and reproduction publications, photographs, artifacts, and ephemera from Special Collections at the University of Iowa Libraries, the State Historical Society of Iowa, and from private collections will share a sampling of stories about life alongside horses from Iowa City’s, and the nation’s, past. Curated by Kim Marra, PhD of the University of Iowa Departments of Theatre Arts and American Studies, and Mark Anderson of the Digital Scholarship & Publishing Studio at the University of Iowa Libraries.</p><p>Object guides describing the details of each item on display are available for visitors in the Main Library Gallery.</p><p><strong>Main Library Gallery Hours: </strong><br>Monday, Wednesday - Friday: 9:00am - 6:00pm<br>Tuesday: 9:00am - 8:00pm<br>Saturday- Sunday: 1:00pm - 5:00pm<br>Please visit <a href="http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/">http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/gallery/</a> for hours and holiday info.</p><p><em>Many thanks to our exhibit and event sponsors for their support: Friends of the University of Iowa Libraries, Arts and Humanities Initiative, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, the University of Iowa Theatre Arts Department, and the University of Iowa Department of American Studies.</em></p> 2020-01-28 17:00:00 -0600

“Degas in New Orleans,” by Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History, University of Iowa
<p>Edgar Degas is famed for his paintings of young ballet dancers and horse races, but a lesser known aspect of his work is the time he spent in New Orleans. Degas travelled to the city in 1872 to see the American side of his mother’s family, who worked as cotton and textile merchants. The painter saw this six-month stay as a return to his roots and produced eighteen paintings during his time there. Join Dorothy Johnson, Roy J. Carver Professor of Art History at the University of Iowa to discuss this unfamiliar aspect of Degas’ career.</p> 2019-12-30 14:00:00 -0600

Healing Conversations with Plants at Prairiewoods
<p>For millennia, humans have relied upon herbs and other plants for nourishment and healing. As food and medicine, plants are powerful allies. They fuel and heal our bodies, providing for our growth and well-being. If we are willing to listen carefully, they offer us wisdom and companionship as well. This exchange is not one-sided. As we tend to plants and their environs, we not only provide for their growth and well-being, but we also give them a bit of ourselves, too. Just as we exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with plants, we also share wisdom and spiritual energy. By tending plants, we tend to the planet, fostering healing and growth for ourselves and the world. On the first Wednesday of each month, come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) for a conversation with facilitator Carolyn Herbst Lewis, PhD. This conversation and hands-on learning series will showcase the healing potential of a medicinal plant. On April 1, the focus will be on lemon balm. We will explore its historic and current use and learn how to incorporate it into our own self-care regimen. We also will discuss the bigger lessons these healing plants offer as we seek a deeper connection between our spiritual journeys and the seasons of Earth, as well as the healing energy we might offer to the plants and the planet in exchange for the healing and wisdom they offer us. Carolyn Herbst Lewis founded Mamie's Way Herbs in order to share her passions for women's history, healing plants and Earth-centered spirituality. She has degrees from Ohio University and the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is a history professor at Grinnell College. She is a student of both the Rosemary Gladstar Science and Art of Herbalism Course and the Heartwood Foundation Course in Herbal Medicine, and she has traveled to England, Japan and India to learn more about traditional herbal medicine. The cost is $15 per class or $120 for the ten-month series. Registration and payment are required by the previous day. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.</p> 2020-02-08 19:30:00 -0600

Taste of Plum Grove
<p>Celebrating 25 years of the Heritage Gardens!</p><p>The annual celebration, hosted by the Johnson County Master Gardeners, is a tribute to Iowa’s history and food.</p><p>Built in 1844, Plum Grove was the home of Robert and Friendly Lucas.
