SUMMARY:ArtBreak: Legendary Artist’s Talk: James Palmore
DESCRIPTION:Get to know local artist James C. Palmore\, who has long been a pillar of the fine and performing arts communities in Kalamazoo. Palmore’s interest in the arts was first sparked when he was a student in the Kalamazoo Public School system. In the 1970s\, he took art classes at Kalamazoo Valley Community College before going on to teach arts and crafts for the Parks and Recreation Department\, retiring in 2003 as the Youth Program Coordinator. Palmore was a co-founder of the Civic Black Theatre and also worked with Gray & Gray Theatrical Production in Detroit. He co-founded the Black Arts & Cultural Center in 1986 and served in multiple key capacities there for more than 25 years. Over a span of decades\, Palmore has worked extensively with the Farm Research Cooperative; the NAACP’s Afro-Academic\, Cultural\, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO) program; Kalamazoo Valley Community College; and the Northside Association for Community Development.  \nOriginally commissioned by the Douglass Community Association\, Palmore’s striking portrait of jazz singer Abbey Lincoln is included in the KIA’s ongoing Legendary Voices exhibition. Join us to learn more about this painting\, Palmore’s larger body of work\, and his life in the arts. \nAll hybrid events will be livestreamed to our YouTube page and can be found under the “Live” tab. Recordings of select past events are available on YouTube as well. No registration is necessary in order to join in virtually.

SUMMARY:ArtBreak: Exploring Common Myths about the Samurai
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable success of the 2024 television series Shogun is only the latest example of popular fascination with Japan’s historical warriors\, the samurai. Despite all this attention\, the samurai remain puzzling for many people: products of both history and myth who have been repeatedly reinvented and used to explain everything from Japanese business practices to the purported uniqueness of Japanese baseball. Who were these warriors? Drawing examples from the complicated history of the samurai\, this talk will answer that question and explore why they have become such an enduring and popular symbol of Japan. \nDr. Dennis J. Frost is the Wen Chao Chen Professor of East Asian Social Sciences at Kalamazoo College\, where he teaches courses on the entire scope of premodern\, modern\, and contemporary East Asian history. He received his Ph.D. in 2007 from Columbia University\, specializing in modern Japanese history. He has written widely on Japanese history\, including his books Seeing Stars: Sports Celebrity\, Identity\, and Body Culture in Modern Japan\, and More Than Medals: A History of the Paralympics and Disability Sports in Postwar Japan. \nAll hybrid events will be livestreamed to our YouTube page and can be found under the “Live” tab. Recordings of select past events are available on YouTube as well. No registration is necessary in order to join in virtually.
