Songs of Old NH

Tuesday, April 24
@ 7:00 PM
Jeff Warner offers the songs and stories that, in the words of Carl Sandburg, tell us "where we came from and what brought us along." Songs from the lumber camps, the decks of sailing ships, the textile mills and the war between the sexes offer views of pre-industrial New England and a chance to hear living artifacts from the 18th and 19th centuries. Registration required. Sign up here.

Uprooted: Heart and Hope in New Hampshire- A Facilitated Film Discussion
Tuesday, April 17 @ 7 PM
 "Uprooted" is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during the NH Humanities Council's Fences and Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to resettle in NH. The film explores what it means to be a refugee, how it feels to make a new life in a strange place, often without English language skills, family, jobs, or community contacts. Facilitator John Krueckeberg will introduce the film and lead the post-film discussion.
This program is made possible through grant from the NH Humanities Council. |
