SUMMARY:Water/Ways in Columbus
DESCRIPTION:The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Transportation Museum will host Water/Ways\, a traveling exhibit from the Smithsonian Institution\, from January 25 through March 8. \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. It looks at how political and economic planning have long been affected by access to water and control of water resources. Human creativity and resourcefulness provide new ways of protecting water resources and renewing respect for the natural environment.

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.
