Museum Events

December 1, 2021 @ 5:00 p.m. (Virtual) The local food movement aspires to create close associations between consumers, communities, and the peoples and lands that produce the foods they eat. Drawing on over five years of ethnographic research, the speakers will consider how the value propositions underlying local food are and are not being conveyed through visual narratives. Pieces from the collection will be used to illustrate the unmet promise of integrating visual analogies and metaphors into local food marketing strategies.  

December 8, 2021 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. (Virtual) What does it mean to write about food as a queer person? This question will guide us as we read food poetry and nonfiction by trans and queer authors, then write our own short pieces. Come prepared with paper, something to write with, and a willingness to learn from one another.

December 9, 2021 @ 5:00 p.m. (Virtual) It's winter somewhere! This month's round celebrates the darkest and coldest season in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as one that brings some of our closest and most cherished moments with family and friends.
