Talking all things WATER
June 1
4-5pm
With help from the Michigan Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities, Raven Hill is hosting two “Third Coast Conversations” that will focus on
Water
.
The informal talks will focus on water as our “place”. The goal is to explore and talk reflectively, sharing different ideas about how this exceptional “place” lives in us—how our special “place” changes us and how we change/preserve our unique “place” through community issues. The
big question
is: what does it mean to be from our particular “place”—for you as an individual and for us as a community? What parts of our “place” make us what we are, and how can we change and preserve the features of this “place”?
An exhibit titled:
Talking all things WATER
will be on display from June 1
st
to June 21
st
. Call Cheri at 231.536.3369 or email
info@miravenhill.org
for more information on the Third Coast Conversations or on creating a panel display.
