Through its Passport Partners program, UNMC is offering two free lunchtime events, featuring speakers from UNMC’s community partners.
The presentations are:
Joslyn Art Museum: “LEGACY — The Emily Fisher Landau Collection”
UNMC employees are invited to join Karin Campbell, Joslyn’s Phil Willson Curator of Contemporary Art, as she presents an illustrated talk about “LEGACY: The Emily Fisher Landau Collection.”
Campbell will speak from noon to 12:50 p.m. on Oct. 1, in the College of Nursing, Room 2017. This new exhibit is on view from Sept. 28-Jan. 5 at 2200 Dodge St.
The exhibition represents the primary ideas and movements that have preoccupied artists in the U.S. since the 1960s: relevance of painting in the aftermath of minimalism, challenges to traditional representation, gender and racial politics, the embattled cultural landscape, and personal narrative.
“LEGACY” features a selection of paintings, sculptures, and works on paper from a historic gift pledged to the Whitney Museum of American Art in 2012 by the preeminent collector Emily Fisher Landau.
Please RSVP to UNMC events if you are able to attend. A minimum of 10 people must sign up or the program will be canceled.
Employees are encouraged to bring their lunch.
The Durham Museum: “A Look Back at 1963”
Join the Durham Museum’s Mick Hale, director of education, on Wednesday, Oct. 2, as he presents “A Look Back at 1963.”
The presentation will be at noon on Oct. 2 at the College of Nursing in Omaha, Room 2017.
The United States was on the verge of great change in 1963 with significant events happening in civil rights, politics and popular culture. Join Hale for an engaging look at the civil rights movement and the March on Washington, the growing impact of television, music and sport in American society and the assassination of President Kennedy.
The Passport Partners program provides free museum admission for medical center employees, students and their immediate family with a valid identification badge, while also offering lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center campus.
