SUMMARY:Mariachi Flor de Toloache - Student Matinee
DESCRIPTION:Mexican-Dominican violist Mireya Ramos broke the mold in 2008 when she founded Mariachi Flor de Toloache\, the first all-female mariachi band in New York City. The group started as a trio but now boasts a roster of thirteen musicians from throughout the world\, including Mexico\, Germany\, Cuba\, the Dominican Republic\, Puerto Rico\, Colombia\, and the United States. Mariachi Flor de Toloache was created to preserve Mexico’s rich musical culture and infuse it with edgy sonic influences as diverse as the musicians’ backgrounds. The band’s performances are as enchanting and spellbinding as the mystical Toloache flower used in love potions. *Registration required.

SUMMARY:Land in Textiles: Map Quilts by Leah Evans
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning Madison textile artist Leah Evans will speak about her map-inspired work on Sunday\, November 13\, 2016 at 2 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library\, located on the third floor east wing of the UWM Golda Meir Library\, 2311 E. Hartford Ave. Ms. Evans’ quilted wall hangings consist of layers using a variety of techniques\, including appliqué\, piecing\, dyeing\, and embroidery. \nShe does not use a computer or imaging software in her work\, and tries to use hand tools and processes rather than electric. \nHer current work combines aerial photography\, maps\, and satellite imagery\, but most of her pieces are not consciously based on specific places. Instead\, she sees them as explorations of map language and imagined landscapes. \nJoin us to hear Ms. Evans discuss the cartographic influences on her creative process\, and see examples of her quilts. \nReception at 1:30. Talk at 2 p.m. \nSponsored by the Map Society of Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Lecture - How Holy Wars\, Media Hype\, and Digital Technologies Are Changing the Face of 21st Century Archaeology
DESCRIPTION:There’s a revolution happening today in the way we value\, discover\, and imagine the past. On the negative side\, ancient sites by the thousands—not only in the Middle East but all over the world—are being bulldozed\, looted\, vandalized\, or blown up. Feature films\, bestsellers and specialized cable documentaries hopelessly muddle archaeological fiction and fact. Yet on the positive side\, advanced satellite imagery and LIDAR sensors are uncovering complex civilizations in deserts and jungles where none were assumed ever to exist. Virtual reality environments and 3D digital reconstructions are now used both for scientific documentation and immersive museum experiences. And the sheer social reach of Facebook\, Twitter\, and research-by-crowdsourcing is offering archaeologists unprecedented opportunities to engage the public in their work. This illustrated lecture will highlight some recent discoveries and ongoing controversies in the Americas\, Europe\, and Asia that exemplify the dramatic new directions that archaeology is taking in our globalized\, internet age. \nThis lecture is co-sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America-Milwaukee Society and the Departments of FLL-Classics\, Anthropology and Art History at UWM. It is free and open to the public and followed by free refreshments.

This event is free and open to the public. \nAbout the Author: \nMary J.
