SUMMARY:How Do We See Ourselves in Each Other?
DESCRIPTION:Inaugural Program of the Four-Part Series “What Can Become of Us?”\nCo-presented by Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies\, Zócalo Public Square\, and Asheville Art Museum \nModerated by Tomás Jiménez\, Founding Faculty Co-Director\, Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies   \nAs people move to and around the U.S.\, they transform communities\, perhaps nowhere as strikingly as in fast-growing North Carolina. As the long-established Native\, Black\, and white citizens of the state welcome Latino and Asian newcomers into this “new Southern immigrant gateway\,” once-separated groups are building new futures together—and understanding themselves anew through the eyes of their neighbors. \nThis program is inspired by Coatlicue & Las Meninas: The Stanford Edition (2007/2025) by Mexican American artist Pedro Lasch. The piece is a 10-foot black mirror merging Diego Velázquez’s iconic painting Las Meninas (1656) and the monumental sculpture of the Mexica deity Coatlicue (1400s)\, commissioned by IAJS and on view at Asheville Art Museum from April 16 to July 13\, 2025. \nJoin us to view the artwork and hear a talk between Asheville Art Museum associate curator Jessica Orzulak and artist Pedro Lasch\, who will discuss the work’s larger themes\, including how mirrors encourage viewers to reflect on the movement of people\, ideas\, and objects across time and space. A panel moderated by Stanford IAJS founding faculty co-director Tomás Jiménez and featuring philosopher and ethicist Kwame Anthony Appiah\, immersive journalism and extended reality (XR) pioneer Nonny de la Peña\, and immigrant integration advocate Federico Rios will follow\, discussing the ways Americans\, old and new\, see ourselves in each other. \nWe invite our in-person audience to continue the conversation with the artist\, speakers\, and each other at a post-event reception with complimentary drinks\, small bites\, art-viewing\, and entertainment. \n“What Can Become of Us?” is a collaboration between the Stanford Institute for Advancing Just Societies (IAJS) and Zócalo Public Square\, envisioning new perspectives on migration\, America’s diverse communities\, and how people come together across differences. The year-long series activates four regions of the United States and highlights newly commissioned works of art—visual\, textile\, and dance—to inspire a national conversation through exhibitions\, public programs\, and essays\, and to work toward a better future.

SUMMARY:Engaging Youth in Museums and History\, for the U.S. 250th and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:How can museums serve young adults\, who are the country’s future inheritors and who seek out credible information on history and civics? It turns out\, serving Gen Z audiences is not just another “to do” – they can be your organization’s secret weapon to delivering relevant\, timely content and programming. And there are resources to help! Learn from the experts at Made By Us\, the nationwide network of historical sites and museums working together to engage young adults ages 18-30. With resources like the Youth250 Bureau and Youth250 Toolkit\, Made By Us can help your organization understand the needs of Gen Z\, build knowledge and skills to meet those needs\, find plug-and-play resources\, and work with young people directly to create lifelong relationships. This webinar is for any and all museums\, history staff\, or leadership who wish to learn about engaging younger audiences\, from the C-Suite to education and marketing staff. Cameron Katz (she/her) is a frequent writer\, speaker\, and content creator focusing on civic engagement and Gen Z’s power to shape America’s future. She is the Head of Content and Partnerships at Made By Us\, a collaboration between iconic cultural institutions – from the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History to local history museums – that is transforming the conversation about history for Gen Z. Her work has been featured in Teen Vogue\, The Philadelphia Inquirer\, and The Hill. She is based in Atlanta\, GA.

SUMMARY:From Air to Arrangement: The Evolution of Keyboard Music in Austen's Era | Laura Klein
DESCRIPTION:In Austen’s novels\, we encounter music in a variety of forms and scenes with the pianoforte at their center. While Austen doesn’t mention keyboard pieces by their titles\, she alludes to one style in particular that 18th-century music in its popular and utilitarian manifestation: the “air.” An air can designate a variety of styles and forms but most commonly indicates a song-like vocal or instrumental tune. In Austen’s mentions\, they are delineated as Scotch\, Irish\, or Italian airs and are played on the pianoforte for dancing or for entertainment purposes. By the turn of the 19th century\, however\, tunes were gradually evolving into larger musical forms\, most commonly serving as the primary motive for sonata movements and sets of themes and variations. This is evident in the wealth of representations contained in Austen’s personal music collection. Through examining the music that she was practicing when she was writing\, we gain a richer understanding and more intimate view of the hands behind the pen. \nLaura Klein\, pianist and historical musicologist\, specializes in British keyboard music and performance practices of the long 18th century. Her current research centers on the music contained in the Austen Family Music Books collection. She founded The Jane Austen Playlist in 2019\, a historical music project that features the music of the Austen family in digitized notations\, companion recordings\, and dramatically narrated performances. An active performer and presenter\, she gives frequent concerts and lecture recitals online\, throughout the United States\, and in the United Kingdom. Klein is Affiliate Professor of Piano at Colorado Christian University and is completing her Ph.D. at the University of Colorado Boulder.
