On this episode of Write On! Radio, we debut our new co-host, Philip Lowry, as he sits down with playwright Larissa FastHorse and her upcoming show, Fancy Dancer, at the History Theater. Larissa talks to Philip about her upbrining, what made her like ballerina, and finding community in dance.
Bogs! Peatlands! Marshes and Swamps! What are these? How do they differ? Can you become a bogwitch? Well, in this episode of Write On! Radio, Emma sits sown to chat with Jennifer de Mooy and her book, Water Carbon Time: Exploring Peatlands in a Warming World where they chat about the science and some cultural myths behind peatlands.
Jennifer takes us on a travelogue of all the varieties of peatlands around the globe with a specific focus on Minnesota’s peatlands.
In the 19th century, the Minneapolis Industrial Expo, an event intended to rival the Minnesota State Fair in St. Paul, made an impact on the history of Mexicans in the state. In 1886, the festival hosted 56 musicians from Mexico as headliners, and at least one of those musicians — Luis Garzon — ended up staying and becoming a community leader here. Meanwhile, Luis’s brother, Gabriel Garzon, and band leader Juan Macias, wrote tunes for the band that would be published as piano sheet music, the first published material by Mexican artists in the state. KFAI’s Sheila Regan tells us about this historic visit and efforts to preserve and share the story of Latinos in Minnesota.
Learn more: The collaboration between the Minnesota Latino Museum and the Hennepin History Museum highlights this history through an ongoing exhibition detailing the band’s legacy and local contributions. For more details, visit Minnesota Latino Museum.
