Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity.

Breaking the Ban: How Women Fought for the Right to Race

From Formula 1 to the Indianapolis 500, motorsport often presents itself as a meritocracy, but for much of racing history, women were explicitly and systematically banned from competition.

Join award-winning motorsport historian Elizabeth Blackstock for a fascinating look at the ways women were barred from competing in races — and how those women fought back.

Alebrijes y Carnaval
Latino Collection & Resource Center
Alebrijes y Carnaval is a visual arts exhibition that imagines a cultural encounter between Mexican and Panamanian ancestral traditions. The works ask a central question: If our ancestral cultures arrived together at Carnaval today, what message would they leave behind? Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity.

Alebrijes y Carnaval
Latino Collection & Resource Center
Alebrijes y Carnaval is a visual arts exhibition that imagines a cultural encounter between Mexican and Panamanian ancestral traditions. The works ask a central question: If our ancestral cultures arrived together at Carnaval today, what message would they leave behind? Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity.

ROMANCE READERS BOOK CLUB - Tuesday Evening Meeting
Igo
March Selection: "Morbidly Yours" by Ivy Fairbanks
"Painfully shy Callum Flannelly would rather dive into an open grave than take a stranger to dinner. But he can only inherit the family undertaking business under one condition: He must marry before his 35th birthday. Texan animator Lark Thompson moved to Galway, Ireland, to restart her life and career, not be reminded of losing her husband by moving in next to a funeral home. But when she learns of Callum's dilemma, Lark's certain she can help him find The One, even if she's sworn off love herself. Though as the dating project progresses and Lark spends more time with straight-laced, sarcastic Callum, he starts to crack the ice around her grieving heart. And the more joy that vivacious Lark brings to Callum's grey existence, the less he can imagine letting her return to Texas. If they think they can ignore their connection, they're dead wrong." --publisher's website.

Alebrijes y Carnaval
Latino Collection & Resource Center
Alebrijes y Carnaval is a visual arts exhibition that imagines a cultural encounter between Mexican and Panamanian ancestral traditions. The works ask a central question: If our ancestral cultures arrived together at Carnaval today, what message would they leave behind? Through vibrant mixed-media paintings, Mesoamerican deities are portrayed as powerful queens, while alebrijes take the form of endangered Panamanian species—reimagined as modern guardians of land, memory, and spirit. Folklore, mythology, and environmental awareness come together to honor ancestral wisdom while reflecting on protection, resilience, and cultural continuity.
