Due to potentially inclement weather expected in our area, the Humanities Kansas lecture, Kansas Weather in Life, Literature and Photography, by Kansas Poet Laureate Emeritus Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg, will now be offered online. Livestream the program via Zoom, Thursday, February 17, 2022, at 5:30 p.m. To register in advance, please visit https://ksu.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_uERbeCxjSlqjR6Jy0NbPwA .
This timely presentation will feature photographer Stephen Locke’s vibrant images of Kansas weather paired with poetry by contemporary Kansas writers inspired by the drama that unfolds in the Kansas sky. We’ll discuss our own weather-related stories and how weather shapes our lives, understanding of the natural world, and identity. The museum’s exhibition, Sunrise over Kansas: John Steuart Curry, currently on view in the Mary Holton Seaton Gallery East will be an added inspiration for the conversation. To view the Virtual Exhibition, please visit beach.k-state.edu/explore.
