Fascism—“an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government” Is it the uber-drama of Nazi Germany or is it an ancient sickness that infected all of history?

Linda has been performing her one woman shows all across the US including NY, PA, NJ FL and MA to much acclaim, “she has found a sweet mix of story and song that includes a disarming candor which, when married to an old-fashioned glamorous voice, makes for a wonderful cabaret experience.”—Val Coleman, Sandisfield Times.

Lecture by the artist at 3 PM
Photos from the Freedom from Fear/Yellow Bowl Project will be part of the Photography Exhibition for the 75th Anniversary of FDR’s signing of Executive Order 9066 at the FDR Library and Museum in Hyde Park, NY (Feb. 19 – Dec. 31, 2017). Setsuko Winchester, born in New York City of Japanese immigrant parents, worked as a journalist, editor and producer at NPR on shows like Morning Edition and Talk of the Nation before moving to Western Massachusetts in 2006 to pursue a life-long interest in ceramics and the visual arts. She also helped start the local newspaper, The Sandisfield Times and contributed as managing editor and staff photographer. In 2015 those interests of art and journalism converged in a work called the Freedom From Fear/Yellow Bowl Project as a means of telling a story through clay. The story is first and foremost a personal journey of discovery, second, a journey into American history and third, a physical odyssey that included two epic trips covering over 16,000 miles across the US to some of the most remote parts of the country where 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry were once imprisoned during World War II.

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“My experiences visiting and living in different countries have contributed to how my observations and memory of the local landscapes, architecture and cultural encounters have entered into my artwork. I feel a constant, yet non-conflicting dichotomy within myself, and my art of the universal and the local. In this dichotomy I see the cultural, iconographic, geographic commonalities in the world; while still understanding the intrinsic uniqueness that exists within a place that enables a distinct ethnic and aesthetic experience.

Over There—the Great War to End All Wars A Hundred Years Ago 1917-1918
2017-06-24 04:00 - 13:00
Bill Cohn, Trinity College Visiting Professor of History and American Studies, continues his analysis of the impact of the “war to end all wars” through the letters of his father from the battlefield, and his mother’s journals on the home front. Bill’s father to be, a buck private in the 308th Ohio Combat Engineers in World War I, participated in the three major U.S. offensives in 1918 as a loyal American patriot who was committed to the successful outcome of the war and the cause for which he was fighting. He recorded all of his movements during his time in France and Germany in his diary and his hopes about the war’s outcome and what he went through in his many letters to his sweetheart, Bill’s mother to be at home in Ohio. Excerpts from those many letters will convey to you something of the nature of that war as his father reported it. Bill’s mother’s anxious and worried thoughts about her sweetheart and the war over there are recorded daily in her own diary about the war over here.

UNDER MILK WOOD By Dylan Thomas, performed by the Sandisfield Players
2017-06-10 04:00 - 13:00
Three years ago the Players performed Dylan Thomas’ great 20th century play “Under Milk Wood” and we feel it’s time once again to venture into the small Welsh fishing village of Llareggub and join its cast of eccentric inhabitants for an evening of humor—often quite surreal— and astonishing poetry. The play begins at night and our narrators guide us through the dream worlds of village inhabitants. Then on through the waking spring day of their often extraordinary antics until dusk, and night once more descends. It is a wonderful play of dazzling poetic language, love for his 60 or so characters and full of wit and fun.
Under Milk Wood also performed by the Sandisfield Players on May 20 at 7:00 PM at the Unicorn Theater in Stockbridge, and on May 21 at 4:00 PM at the Norfolk Library. For information about these performances, please contact these venues directly. Unicorn Theatre: tel 413 997-4444 berkshiretheatregroup.org Norfolk Library: tel: 860 542-5075 norfolklibrary.org

Opening Reception : 3rd Jun 2017 02:00 PM
Date of Show : 3rd Jun 2017 – 30th Jun 2017

ARTIST’S STATEMENT
“I am inspired by landscapes that make me catch my breath. My paintings are not just a product of what I see. They are what I see transformed by my imagination and memories. They may at times have a story hidden in them. Sometimes I recognize the story as I am working on the piece. It is the beauty and sacredness of the earth captured on an emotional level. Water, mist and mountains continually intrigue me—the mountains of the Berkshires, the Hudson Valley, Lake George and Kyoto.” “Color is what drives me and delights me. My process is meditative. Experimenting with layers of many colors enables me to explore, to play, and to experience wonder. These pastel paintings, inspired by images gathered out-of-doors, are completed in my studio. It most pleases me to create intuitively something I had not quite expected. I find the process to be a spiritual journey, a mystery. At the heart of it all is discovery.”
