SUMMARY:Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund
DESCRIPTION:Tell Me a Story Where the Bad Girl Wins: The Life and Art of Barbara Shermund showcases the work of Barbara Shermund\, the trailblazing feminist cartoonist who\, as one of the first women cartoonists for The New Yorker magazine\, brought her outspoken women characters to life in a distinctive flowing style that helped shape the visual brand of The New Yorker. Mounted in 2020 but cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic\, the exhibit returns because of its popularity\, visual appeal and relevance\, and with an exciting lineup of associated programs. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features more than 100 pieces of original cartoon art by Shermund published during the heyday of American magazines\, the 1920s-1960s. Curated by Caitlin McGurk\, curator of comics and cartoon art & associate professor at the Ohio State University’s Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum\, the artwork in the exhibition represents the best of Shermund’s work in the Billy Ireland collection and outlines the most prominent themes running through Shermund’s cartoons – Youth & Age\, Relationships\, Travel\, Society\, Fashion & Beauty\, Modern Art. Also highlighted are selections of her advertising work\, early art\, men’s magazine cartoons and book illustrations. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit was funded in part by an Ohio Humanities Ignite Grant. \n\n\n\nCurious about other grants?

SUMMARY:Lumen Launch Party
DESCRIPTION:Join Ohio Humanities to celebrate the publication of our third volume of Lumen magazine! \n\n\n\nThis issue of Lumen\, which explores the idea of being seen\, is our most courageous yet. The stories evoke a range of emotions. There’s thoughtfulness and joy in the way Columbus Crew Coach Wilfried Nancy defines and approaches winning. There’s an inspiring commitment to culture from Native Americans whose ancestors were forcibly removed from their Ohio homelands. There’s heartache and bravery in navigating terminal illness. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to all those who helped us curate meaningful stories for this issue. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful to all those within these pages who are courageously stepping into the light to make their voices heard. \n\n\n\nThe event will feature snacks and conversation\, including a panel discussion with some of the storytellers and creative contributors to the magazine. They will share behind-the-scenes insights about magazine content creation. You can also pick up a free copy of Lumen. \n\n\n\nThe event will start at 4:30pm\, with a brief program beginning at 5:15pm. We hope you can join us! \n\n\n\nPlease register ahead of time here!

SUMMARY:Rhetoric of the Rainbow: Living Between the Gay Movement and Civil Rights Movement
DESCRIPTION:Come visit Elizabeth’s Bookshop and Writing Centre for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers’ Bureau event with LuSter Singleton! LuSter will discuss the intersections and departures of both the gay and Civil Rights Movement. \n\n\n\nIn the early 2000s\, LuSter disclosed their long-time struggle with finding a place of belonging within the so-called “gay movement” and the civil rights movement. With both having supported or encouraged notions of gender binaries\, misogyny\, transphobia\, and racial fetishization\, Singleton found it difficult to get fully ‘settled’ in either camp. Singleton shares this history to engage discussions on cancel culture\, Black Lives Matter\, and disappearing lesbian visibility and asks whether history is repeating itself. \n\n\n\nThis event is a part of Ohio Humanities’ United We Stand initiative. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?

SUMMARY:Why Ohio? Understanding the Opioid Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Prevention Action Alliance in Columbus for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Daniel Skinner! \n\n\n\nWhile the opioid crisis has swept across the entire United States\, leaving no community untouched\, it has hit Ohio particularly hard. But why Ohio\, in particular? Drawing on his experience in compiling a collection of more than 50 perspectives from across Ohio\, Dr. Daniel Skinner\, Assistant Professor of Health Policy at Ohio University explains some of the rarely discussed aspects of the opioid crisis\, including its intersections with affluence and poverty\, race and sexuality\, and particular aspects of Ohio’s culture\, such as religion\, sports\, and its changing economy.

SUMMARY:The Story of Ohio's Canals
DESCRIPTION:Come visit the Adena Mansion and Gardens for an Ohio Humanities’ Speakers Bureau event with Tom O’Grady! \n\n\n\nBeginning in 1825\, Ohio began constructing its canal system that eventually included nearly a thousand miles of channel and towpaths laced with stone locks and culverts\, aqueducts\, feeder lakes and slack water ponds. These canals opened up Ohio to world commerce allowing the export of surplus grains and manufactured goods and the import of items made in New York\, London and Paris. Ohio’s canals linked the Great Lakes with the Ohio River and Ohio towns with markets in Chicago\, Buffalo\, and New York City and Pittsburgh\, St. Louis and New Orleans. Canal builders negotiated Ohio’s diverse landscape as they traversed glacial moraines and the Allegheny Plateau. The ‘big ditch’ stitched the settlements of Ohio’s wilderness together and helped make it a player on the world’s stage. \n\n\n\nTom O’Grady sailed as a deck worker on an ore carrier on the Great Lakes aboard a sister-ship of the fated Edmund Fitzgerald\, surveyed for the Ohio Department of Natural Resources\, launched the first comprehensive curbside recycling program in the state of Ohio and has been promoting waste reduction and sustainable economy for thirty years. O’Grady has also been an instructor of Observational Astronomy in the evenings at Ohio University for thirty years. He has spent a good deal of the past twenty-five years as a student of Ohio history researching its geography and settlement\, the mound builders\, Ohio canals\, and several of its interesting characters and their stories. \n\n\n\nCurious about our Speakers Bureau?
