I’ve been meaning to write a brief post to share information about a couple of cultural events (with political messages at their core), but I’ve let time fly. Today is already February 6 and in about 2 hrs there is a virtual art tour, via Zoom, at the Jewish Museum of Milwaukee (12 p.m. CST). Registration costs US$10 (free if you happen to be a member of the museum).
The tour is actually a virtual visit to The Museum of Russian Art in Minneapolis, MN, to see their continuously rotating exhibit ‘Say No to War: Political Cartoons by Ukrainian and Russian Artists.’ Check out more here: https://jewishmuseummilwaukee.org/event/virtual-gmp-say-no-to-war-political-cartoons-by-ukrainian-and-russian-artists/
According to their website, this is a project of The Museum of Russian Art to voice the institution’s antiwar stance.
I’ve just registered and I am waiting to receive my Zoom link.
And while I am waiting (and working), I’m listening to the Dallas Symphony Orchestra playing compositions by two Ukrainian women composers — Poleva and Korsun. Both pieces of music are other-worldly. Poleva’s starts at around 18 mins; Korsun’s starts at around 40 mins in this YouTube recording.
