SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Moss Point
DESCRIPTION:The Pascagoula River Audubon Center will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from May 31 through July 7. The exhibit\, which will be free and open to the public\, will include a local quilt exhibition\, “A River in Stitches” featuring quilts from around the state that focus on water themes. Visit the MHC’s calendar for a complete list of Water/Ways-related programming at the Pascagoula River Audubon Center. \nWater/Ways is a traveling exhibit offered by the Museum on Main Street division of the Smithsonian Institution. It consists of five free-standing display units incorporating photographs and text as well as numerous interactives ranging from basic flip charts to state of the art audio and video devices. Requiring a display area of a minimum of 650 sq. ft.\, the exhibit is designed for smaller venues\, thereby achieving the goal of “bringing the Smithsonian to Small Town America.” \nWater/Ways explores the endless motion of the water cycle\, water’s effect on landscape\, settlement and migration\, and its impact on culture and spirituality.

Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment. \nWater/Ways-Related Programming @ PRAC\nJune 2 (1-3pm): Opening Reception\, “A River in Stitches” quilt exhibition (FREE)\nJune 2 (10-11am): The Singing River Gets the Blues (FREE)\nJune 4-July 19: Kids Camp ($)\nJune 9: TBA (FREE)\nJune 16 (1-2pm): Water/Ways lecture by Dr. James Giesen (FREE)\nJune 23 (1-2pm): Mobile Baykeeper Talk (FREE)\nJune 30 (1pm): Writing on the River ($)\nJuly 7 (1pm): Rain Barrel Workshop ($) \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will give the listener a glimpse of the Mande Culture of West Africa. In the tradition of the Mande\, the history and culture is orally preserved in the minds and through the music of the Djeli (oral librarian/mandenka hereditary professional musicians). The establishment of the Mali Empire can be recalled and retold in the musical piece of the legendary Densoba (great warrior) Sunjata. This discussion explores the function of the Mande music and musical instruments\, Mande class system\, songs\, ceremonies and stories. The discussion also examines the influence of West Africa on American culture and why the djembe was outlawed during slavery. Participants will learn about the djembe\, its introduction by drummers like Babatunde Olatunji in 1950 and Ladji Camara from Guinea\, and how it spread throughout America. \nSpeakers Expertise:\nJerry Jenkins is a musician and educator trained in the music of West Africa.
