Please join us for a special evening featuring poet and publisher Ted Washington's latest book, "Bone Lyre," and poet and teacher Alexis V. Jackson's latest book, "My Sisters' Country." Of "Bone Lyre," the writer Georgianna Simmons writes: “Love poems like ‘Lauren’ put tears in my eyes with captivating words and rhythm. Haikus featuring nature and politics both eased and upset me with their truths. 'Bone Lyre' is an emotional read.” "My Sisters’ Country" artfully braids together a multi-vocal chorus of Black women’s voices across time. Jackson bends and breaks forms like the sonnet, pantoum, and zuihitsu. She invites readers to consider the ways Black women, who were once considered countryless property, made country out of and in one another. Light refreshments served.

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring the ways narratives and biases surrounding women's bodies determine and limit our understanding of them. This conversation is inspired in part by the new streaming film "The Cancer Detectives." Panelists will address the ways in which women's healthcare outcomes can be shaped by existing narratives focused on women's bodies. They will analyze the emotions of shame and concealment that have shrouded the female form, discussing how these perceptions can be informed by the race and class of the women involved. Featured guests: Ameenah Shakir: 20th Century U.S. historian of race and medicine at the University of Houston Cat Bohannon: author of "Eve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolution" The discussion will be moderated by Pam Belluck, New York Times staff writer whose honors include a Pulitzer Prize and the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting. The conversation will also be streamed live on AMERICAN EXPERIENCE's Facebook and YouTube channels.

The new coverage includes practices such as music therapy, sweat lodges, and drumming, which are integral to Native healing traditions and have proved helpful for addiction among other health issues.

About the exhibition: A colorful mix of symbolic forms, representations of abstract thought, and expressions of shared universal mysteries are at the heart of the work Ving Simpson created for more than twenty years at his home studio in Oceanside. The installation is a nonlinear representation of years of creative artistic endeavors, processes, and materials crafted with primal and soulful qualities. A central focus of the gallery is a recreation of the shelves that lined the artist’s studio, displaying an array of small, emblematic sculptures. The objects and compositions are minimal in form, often consisting of repeating patterns in rows and columns. They are constructed from a variety of traditional and non-traditional materials including silver, bronze, wood, metal, tar paper, found objects, and glazed and unglazed clay bodies. Select paintings will also illustrate the artist’s explorations into his perceptions of reality, primarily a series of large banners in the museum’s Grand Stairwell exploring artistic interpretations of water as liquid, gas, and solid. His first painting on canvas, Dancing Nuns painted in 1994, will also feature prominently as an homage to the complexities of interpersonal relationships and how they may inspire an impulse to expand creative horizons. This is the work of a dedicated artist–a maker of well-crafted art objects inspired by a mix of art history, science, and a personal mythology, woven together in an attempt to understand the subtle and sublime mysteries of reality. Simpson says about his practice, “The human path is one of symbols and abstractions. Lacking the facility to fathom the intricacies and mathematics of modern cosmology, I choose to explore the order of the universe using a few simple tools and my intuition.” Curated by Vallo Riberto. Exhibition celebration: 5-7 p.m. Mar. 30. Related links: Oceanside Museum of Art: website | Instagram | Facebook
