SUMMARY:Warner - Dawnland StoryFest 2019: Native American Storytelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Dawnland StoryFest is a warm spot in cold and snowy February and – New Hampshire’s only annual Native American Storytelling Festival. This is the 5th year anniversary for the festival and its first year at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner\, NH. Please join us if you love to listen to traditional Native American stories – and if you’d like to learn more about Native American storytelling. \nThe Dawnland StoryFest was originally created almost five years ago\, by New Hampshire storyteller Papa Joe Gaudet\, as a showcase for Francis “Medicine Story” Talbot\, a New Hampshire storyteller who for many years shared traditional Native American stories with his audiences. This year\, the Dawnland StoryFest 2019 moves to its new home at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner\, NH and will be dedicated in memory of two accomplished New Hampshire tellers of Native American lesson stories\, who both passed away in 2018 – the well-known storyteller\, Francis “Medicine Story” Talbot and accomplished storyteller\, Peter “Bearded Turtle” Brodeur. \nCome hear experienced Native American storytellers share traditional tales during the heart of the Winter Storytelling Season. \nFor the first time\, this year’s featured teller is a woman! Anne Jennison is an award winning storyteller of European and Abenaki descent who has been telling traditional Native American lesson stories for 30 years. \nAlso featured are: Crow HearsCrow\, Darlene Kascak\, Angela Klingler\, Sebastian Lockwood\, Papa Joe Gaudet\, and Simon Brooks as the MC. As you listen to these masterful tellers of traditional Native American stories\, consider whether you might want to approach one of them about mentoring you in you goal to deepen your own storytelling skills. In addition to hearing stories\, there will also be a discussion that touches on ideas about what Native American stories are appropriate to tell\, as well as when\, where\, why\, and how to tell them. There will also be an opportunity for you to share a traditional Native American story\, if you have one prepared that you’d lie to try out in the presence of a very receptive audience of listeners!. \nThe Festival takes place each year on the first Saturday in February\, during the heart of the winter storytelling season. In this\, its 5th year the Dawnland Storyfest 2019 is changing homes. Formerly held at the Mariposa Museum & Cultural Center in Peterborough\, NH\, starting this year\, the Dawnland Storyfest will now be held at the Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum in Warner\, NH. The very modest admission fee for this event is $5.50. Free admission for Native Americans. \nPlease note: The Dawnland StoryFest 2019 is geared toward adults\, including young adults\, who are interested in Native American Storytelling traditions. This event is not really suitable for young children as there will be no specifically child-oriented activities – or childcare – provided during this one-day storytelling conference and festival. \nContact Mt. Kearsarge Indian Museum for more info. indianmuseum.org \nThis event is funded\, in part\, by a grant from the NH Humanities Council.

SUMMARY:Hanover - Sites of Memory: Reconstructing the Past
DESCRIPTION:Sites of Memory: Reconstructing the Past\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFunded in part by New Hampshire Humanities\, the Black Heritage Trail of NH will host two programs in their Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talk programs. These dialogues act as a catalyst for deeper excavating of New Hampshire’s Black history\, while also facilitating intellectual and communal connections between racism’s grip on our past and its contemporary manifestations. \nIn a compelling speech about race in America\, Mitch Landrieu said\, “There is a difference between remembrance of history and reverence of it.” Through discussing physical and artistic sites of memory\, this panel will explore how widely accepted narratives of our collective past shape and inform our collective present social identity. \nPresenters: Dr. David Watters\, Eric Aldrich\, Joel Christian Gill\nModerator: Dr. Graziella Parati

SUMMARY:Portsmouth - EWH Tea Talks: Permit Patty\, BBQ Becky & Coupon Carl
DESCRIPTION:From the rash of 911 calls targeting people of color to a racist jingle that turned a Christmas tune into a KKK theme song\, there is no shortage of examples of how implicit bias impacts how we see the world and resulting actions that have lasting impacts. \nJoin us for an experiential talk to explore the role of implicit bias in our lives. Our behavior is influenced by unconscious assumptions\, beliefs and attitudes we have about others based on their social identities (race\, class\, gender/gender expression\, sexual orientation\, religion\, age\, etc.). It is a manifestation of how we have been shaped and socialized in the world. It is a major contributor to racism. Is there anything we can do about it? The answers may surprise you. \nMore Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks and info

DESCRIPTION:The Human Flow \nWednesday\, February 27th\, 7 PM \nRed River Theatres  \n11 S Main St #L1 \nConcord\, NH 03301 \nTickets are free for the public\, but space is limited. Reserve your tickets today!\n \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout The Human Flow: \nOver 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine\, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow\, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei\, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries\, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, France\, Greece\, Germany\, Iraq\, Israel\, Italy\, Kenya\, Mexico\, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety\, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage\, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance\, compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear\, isolation\, and self-interest and choose a path of openness\, freedom\, and respect for humanity? \nWatch the Trailer:

SUMMARY:Portsmouth - Tell Me the Truth: Exploring the Heart of Cross-Racial Conversations
DESCRIPTION:Free \n\n\n\nPresenters: Shay Stewart-Bouley & Debby Irving \nHow can we speak openly and honestly in cross-racial conversations? What would such a conversation even sound like? Join Shay Stewart-Bouley (Black Girl in Maine) and author Debby Irving as they talk about racism’s impact on their lives and how conversation has been instrumental in their own understanding of 21st century racial dynamics. \nShay and Debby will explore the common fears and pitfalls of cross-racial conversation that keep people isolated in their own racial groups\, at the expense of personal\, professional\, and societal growth. They’ll also help audience members understand how interpersonal social patterns hinder organizations from living up to their own ideals for diversity and how good intentions can actually undermine collective progress.

SUMMARY:Manchester - Global Tipping Points with Melinda Negrón-Gonzales
DESCRIPTION:Global Tipping Points \nA three-part series on today’s global challenges \nMonday\, March 4th\, 6 PM-7:15 PM \nLocation: Multi-purpose Room\, UNH Manchester\, 88 Commercial Street (Pandora Mill)\, Manchester. Directions & Parking Info Here. (For safety and storm closure information\, check here)  \nTickets: \nWACNH Members\, Fulbright Members\, UNH Students and Staff- Free \nGeneral Public- $10 \nCounter-Terrorism and Human Rights in Turkey \nNegron-Gonzales will discuss how activists have attempted to hold the state accountable for human rights violations associated with counter-terrorism\, such as torture\, curfews and disappearances. What legal instruments and political mechanisms have been available to them\, and when have they been successful in pressuring the government to enact reform? ​ \n  \nAbout Melinda Negrón-Gonzales \n\n \nMelinda Negrón-Gonzales is Program Coordinator of the Politics and Society Program. She has taught at UNH since fall 2008 and teaches courses on international relations and comparative politics. \nNegrón-Gonzales’s research interests span the following areas: international politics\, Turkish Studies\, Middle Eastern Studies\, humanitarian intervention/responsibility to protect/human security\, social movements\, and democratization. She seeks to understand political and social change. \nOne strand of her research looks at changing ideas about humanitarian intervention – when the international community (working through the United Nations) attempts to prevent and respond to genocide\, crimes against humanity\, and war crimes. Recently\, she’s written about the international community’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria\, and also the Organization for Islamic Cooperation’s response to ISIS terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa.  \nNegrón-Gonzales also conducts research on social and political change in Turkey\, specifically exploring how social movements work to push democratization in Turkey. For example\, one of her recent publications examines how feminist activists in Turkey have attempted to shape legislative reform and advance women’s rights under an Islamic conservative government. \nPresented in partnership with UNH Manchester’s homeland security\, history\, humanities and politics and society programs\, the Fulbright Association\, and the Turkish Cultural Center of New Hampshire
