Author Talks on Tuesday- Zoom Program
June 22, 12:30-130pm, free
with author Vivek Murthy talking about his book, Together with moderator, Barbara Bush
DR. VIVEK H. MURTHY—author, physician, and Surgeon General of the United States—for a discussion of his book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World. He will be joined in conversation by Global Health Corps co-founder BARBARA BUSH. Murthy makes a case for loneliness as a public health concern: a root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world today from alcohol and drug addiction to violence to depression and anxiety. Loneliness, he argues, is affecting not only our health, but also how our children experience school, how we perform in the workplace, and the sense of division and polarization in our society. But, at the center of our loneliness is our innate desire to connect. We have evolved to participate in community, to forge lasting bonds with others, to help one another, and to share life experiences. We are, simply, better together.
Art Matters- Marc Chagall- zoom program
Tuesday, June 22, 1:30-2:30, free
Marc Chagall, known as the “Poet”, was one of the most versatile artists of the 20th Century. He merged the traditional images of his native Russian, Jewish culture with the modern styles of Cubism, and Fauvism. His paintings portray stories and fables, ideals of freedom, dreams of love, nightmares of war, passionate emotions and soul refreshing humor. He never finished a canvas until something in it “surprised” himself. Join us for a retrospective look at his work, his life, and his unique perspective of the world.
