Radha Agrawal: Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life Presented by The King's English Bookshop at The King's English Bookshop Sep 19, 2018 It’s the great paradox of the digital age, what Radha Agrawal calls “community confusion”—the internet connects us to hundreds, thousands, even millions of people, and yet we feel more isolated than ever, with 1 in 4 Americans saying they have zero friends to confide in. Where are our people? The answer is found in Belong, a highly energetic and beautifully illustrated guide to discovering where and with whom you fit. |

El Ten Eleven
El Ten Eleven Presented by Urban Lounge at Urban Lounge Sep 19, 2018 Armed with merely a double-neck bass/guitar, drums and a dizzying array of foot pedals, El Ten Eleven creates complex, deeply felt music, from scratch, onstage, with no help from laptops or additional musicians. Made up of Kristian Dunn (bass, guitar) and Tim Fogarty (Drums), they utilize multiple looping pedals to create songs that sound as though they are being played by at least six people. Most first-timers to an El Ten Eleven show are stunned that the band is a duo. It’s a refreshing site in this age of letting the computers do all the work. |

Over the course of their unlikely friendship, Harker convinces Alba to return to Chile to learn the story, long hidden from her by her mother, of her father’s disappearance under Pinochet.

Klancy Clark de Nevers: Lessons in Printing
Klancy Clark de Nevers: Lessons in Printing Presented by The King's English Bookshop at The King's English Bookshop Sep 20, 2018 In the middle of her college years Klancy de Nevers’ father began to hear voices. Her reaction to his breakdown was not what you would expect from a “well-brought-up” girl. At a time when housewives waxed floors, ironed sheets and washed woodwork, the mentally ill were often warehoused, or tranquilized and sent home to fend for themselves. Shielded by her mother from the reality of his condition, de Nevers willingly looked away, and didn’t mourn when he died. In Lessons in Printing, exploring evidence carefully preserved by her family, she revisits her father’s life and reconsiders her own responses. The result is a meditative memoir, a journey from scorn to compassion, from guilt to forgiveness. |

Books and Bridges at Weller Book Works: Nathan Devir
Books and Bridges at Weller Book Works: Nathan Devir Presented by Weller Book Works at Weller Book Works Sep 20, 2018 The award-winning novelist and rabbi Chaim Potok often referred to himself as a zwischenmensch (Yiddish: an "in-between person") with respect to his own religious and social identity; and the characters that populate his novels also exhibit this same existential malaise. Finding Orthodox Judaism too restrictive, and secular American culture too permissive, they are unable to belong wholeheartedly to either milieu. This lecture by University of Utah Jewish Studies professor Nathan Devir will use Potok's literary works to showcase what it means to be an "in-between person" in modern society, regardless of one's particular faith group, especially when the loyalty to that group often proves difficult to reconcile with the freedom to explore one’s own personal spiritual and artistic visions allowed for in secular culture. This event is organized by Books & Bridges — a community institute of ideas and conversation. Our mission is to facilitate discussion on the best of… |

In Fish in Exile, Nao asks difficult questions: How do you grieve the death of a child? With fishtanks and jellyfish burials, Persephone’s pomegranate seeds, and affairs with the neighbors. Fish in Exile spins unimaginable loss through classical and magical tumblers, distorting our view so that we can see the contours of a parent’s grief all the more clearly.

Conflicts in Federal Land Management and Why they Matter
Conflicts in Federal Land Management and Why they Matter Presented by The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law at University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law Sep 20, 2018 The federal government’s ownership and management of vast amounts of land in the West creates conflicts and tensions here that do not exist elsewhere. The Utah Chapter of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to sponsor a panel discussion covering the legal underpinnings for the federal government’s claims of ownership and control; the types of legal (and other) challenges raised against federal land ownership and management in the last half of the 20th century, and how those challenges were resolved—some more successfully than others; and how lessons learned from those experiences are—or are not—affecting current challenges to federal land ownership and management practices. |

Japanese Breakfast
Japanese Breakfast Presented by S&S Presents at Kilby Court Sep 22, 2018 “The title Soft Sounds From Another Planet alludes to the promise of something that may or may not be there. Like a hope in something more. The songs are about human resilience and the strength it takes to claw out of the darkest of spaces.” Michelle Zauner wrote the debut Japanese Breakfast album in the weeks after her mother died of cancer, thinking she would quit music entirely once it was done. That wasn’t the case. When Psychopomp was released to acclaim in 2016, she was forced to confront her grief. Zauner would find find herself reliving traumatic memories multiple times a day during interviews, trying to remain composed while discussing the most painful experience of her life. Her sophomore album, Soft Sounds From Another Planet, is a transmutation of mourning, a reflection that turns back on the cosmos in search of healing. |

GRIP: Conversational Portraits on Mental Health, Cara Jean Means Exhibition
GRIP: Conversational Portraits on Mental Health, Cara Jean Means Exhibition Presented by George S. & Dolores Doré Eccles Gallery, Center for Arts & Media at George S. & Dolores Doré Eccles Gallery, Center for Arts & Media Aug 16 - Sep 22, 2018 This portrait series depicts the effects that living with mental illness has on ten real people. I spent careful time with each one to narrate their experience in an honest, respectful, and deeply poignant way. As I painted each work I was able to spend quiet, intimate hours with the subject- both the actual person and the illness. It’s amazing how much grief people carry around and how eager they are to crack open their hearts when someone shows they are willing to listen. Mental illness is a formidable foe that manipulates reality in such a way that those inflicted feel overwhelmed by everyday tasks, a decrease in self confidence and an increase in self loathing, confusing physical sensations, and consuming compulsions. I chose to represent this foe as a human hand because of how universally gestural hands are, and also to bring to mind such expressions as “losing grip”,… |

Pallbearer and Tribulation
Pallbearer and Tribulation Presented by Metro Music Hall at Metro Music Hall Sep 22, 2018 Pallbearer’s third album, Heartless, is an inspired collection of monumental rock music. The band offers a complex sonic architecture that weaves together the spacious exploratory elements of classic prog, the raw anthemics of 90’s alt-rock, and stretches of black-lit proto-metal. Lyrics about mortality, life, and love are set to sharp melodies and pristine three-part harmonies. Vocalist and guitarist Brett Campbell has always been a strong, assured singer, and on Heartless, his work’s especially stunning. This may in part be due to the immediacy of the lyrics. Written by Campbell and bassist/secondary vocalist Joseph D Rowland, the words have moved from the metaphysical to something more grounded. As the group explains: “Instead of staring into to the void—both above and within—Heartless concentrates its power on a grim reality. Our lives, our homes and our world are all plumbing the depths of utter darkness, as we seek to find any shred of… |

Chess The Musical
Chess The Musical Presented by The University of Utah Department of Theatre at Marriott Center For Dance Sep 14 - Sep 23, 2018 The University of Utah’s Department of Theatre opens the 2018-19 season with the epic rock opera Chess, with music by members of the pop music group ABBA Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and lyrics by Tim Rice. The production runs Sept. 14-23 at the Hayes Christensen Theatre in the Marriott Center for Dance, 330 S. 1500 E. Before Mamma Mia! came along, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of the pop group ABBA produced this daring new musical about an international chess match between the Russian champion and a brash American challenger. Set during the heart of the Cold War, it could very well have been written today, as politics, espionage, and intrigue collide with love and chess. The themes of tension and waiting for moves to be made is ever-present in our current political landscape. Rice encourages those who produce this show to take liberties in terms of “playing” out this musical however… |

Foxing with Ratboys and Kississippi
Foxing with Ratboys and Kississippi Presented by Kilby Court at Kilby Court Sep 24, 2018 If you've ever looked at an old document and noticed brown spots on it, what you are seeing are signs of aging. It's not exactly clear what specifically causes them, but one day, the page will completely brown over and be no more. This is called foxing. A group of St. Louis musicians took this idea and turned it into a band. "From the conception of the band, we realized: we're not gonna be around forever," says Foxing singer Conor Murphy. "There's classic literature that over time grows really old. But hopefully, you can make something that meant something at some point and will mean something down the road, even if it is aged and dated. That's always what keeps me going, the idea that we're writing something now that we won't be able to write in ten years." At only 21, Murphy is wise beyond his years and Foxing's… |

Rosina Lozano at Salt Lake City Public Library
Rosina Lozano at Salt Lake City Public Library Presented by Utah Humanities and Salt Lake City Public Library at Salt Lake City Public Library (Main Branch) Sep 24, 2018 Historian Rosina Lozano visits the City Library to discuss her latest book An American Language: The History of Spanish in the United States on Monday, September 24th at 7:00 PM. Lozano's first book, An American Language: The History of Spanish in the United States (published by The University of California Press in April 2018), is a political history of the Spanish language in the United States from the incorporation of the Mexican cession in 1848 through World War II, with some discussion of the following decades and present-day concerns. The nation has always been multilingual, and Spanish-language rights, in particular, have remained an important political issue into the present. The book is organized in two parts. The first five chapters argue that Spanish was a language of politics in the U.S. Southwest following the U.S. takeover. The second half of the book transitions to exploring the multifaceted use of Spanish… |

Camille Dungy & Jason Olsen at Westminster College
Camille Dungy & Jason Olsen at Westminster College Presented by Utah Humanities and Westminster College at Kim Adamson Alumni House - Westminster College Sep 24, 2018 In Guidebook to Relative Strangers, Camille Dungy debuts in prose with a stunningly graceful and honest exploration of race, motherhood, and history. As a working mother whose livelihood as a poet-lecturer depended on travel, Dungy crisscrossed America with her infant, then a toddler. As they travel, Dungy is intensely aware of how they are seen, not just as mother and child but as black females. With a poet’s eye, she celebrates the particular in the universal, such as a child’s acquisition of language and what to pack in a diaper bag. At the same time, her horizons are wide, as history shadows her steps everywhere she goes: from the San Francisco of settlers’ and investors’ dreams to the slave-trading ports of Ghana; from snow-white Maine to a festive, yet threatening, bonfire in the Virginia pinewoods. Camille T. Dungy is the author of four collections of poetry: Trophic Cascade (Wesleyan UP,… |
