Join us for an inspiring free event featuring Nebraska artist Katharen Wiese in conversation with her mother, Charlette Harrington, on Friday, February 21st, at 6:30 PM at the Nebraska History Museum.This intimate dialogue continues their powerful discussions from Katharen’s podcast, Black IDs, exploring Charlette’s experiences growing up in Nebraska. Their conversation delves into the dualities of identity, reflecting on the complexities of being both inside and outside the Black community, a reality shared by many families of color pursuing integration and upward mobility in the Midwest.
Adding a visual dimension to this rich narrative, Katharen will create a map inspired by her mother’s story, a collaborative artistic practice they have developed over time. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to witness history, art, and storytelling come together to honor and illuminate the intricacies of Black experiences in Nebraska.
