Art History

Buenas de nuevo, gatos curiosos! **El día 20 de junio propongo un plan matinal en el que asistiremos a una sesión a bóveda completa del planetario de la fundación CosmoCaixa y visitaremos la parte del museo dedicada a la Astronomía , la sala universo( no el museo completo, pues requeriría más tiempo.)** **Después de la visita al planetario, propongo que nos traslademos al restaurante temático Verne, dedicado a este gran maestro y pionero de la ciencia ficción.** Este restaurante, ubicado en la calle Aribau, 150, es el ideal para tomarse un refresco y admirar su ambientación , pues parece que estás en un submarino o comiendo en las entrañas de la tierra. **La sesión del planetario es de 8 euros, que incluye entrada al museo. En el restaurante Verne, especializado en tapas y rolls bocadillos con muchos ingredientes, cada uno paga lo que consume.** Espero que os guste este plan alternativo al de la agrupación Astronómica Aster, a la que he renunciado por el alto coste que nos pedían por persona. El presidente nos exigía 30 euros por persona por una hora y media de actividad y , al intentar rebajar el precio, se me ha negado. Se trata de pasarlo bien, pero sin que el precio sea excesivo, al menos esa es mi filosofía en este grupo. Os espero en este astronómico encuentro! Hasta pronto!!

¡Hola a tod@s! Soy Miguel, Doctor en Historia contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up Los que me conocéis sabéis que mi especialización es la historia social y del movimiento obrero, por eso dedicaremos esta ruta a: LA BARCELONA OBRERA, ANARQUISTA Y REBELDE Cronológicamente esta es la primera de las rutas de la trilogía dedicada a la historia social de Barcelona (aunque cada una de ellas es independiente y se pueden hacer salteadas). Parece que la Barcelona actual está decidida a enterrar su pasado anarquista. No será por nosotros. Si te gustan las rutas de temática poco convencional (incluso políticamente incorrectas), ésta es la tuya. Recorreremos lugares míticos, aunque poco conocidos, de la historia y los orígenes del movimiento obrero barcelonés. Conoceremos la dimensión y presencia social del anarquismo en nuestra ciudad, mientras hablamos de huelgas, bombas, insurrecciones, persecuciones y ateneos culturales. Así, conoceremos los acontecimientos clave de la historia del movimiento obrero de la ciudad durante los siglos XIX y XX, tomando como hilo conductor la implantación y desarrollo de las ideas anarquistas en Barcelona. Daos de baja de la actividad si finalmente no vais a poder asistir, Muchas gracias, ¡Os espero! Miguel

**Una tragicomèdia apocalíptica al més estil de Jordi Oriol.** El present ha imposat un ultimàtum a la humanitat, si de veritat vol tenir futur. Mentre un gabinet científic convocat d'urgència dissenya un pla per respondre a la desintegració de la matèria que permet la vida humana, dos germans s'enfronten a la pèrdua del llenguatge que pateix el seu pare, amb la convicció que tot allò que deixa d'anomenar-se, deixa d'existir. Una història de números, explicada amb lletres. Terrenal, però amb el cap als núvols. Autoria i direcció: **Jordi Oriol** Intèrprets: **Joan Carreras** **Mia Esteve** **Carme Milán** **Carles Pedragosa** **Lara Segur** Idioma: Català Durada: 1h 30m.

Welcome to Drunken Philosophy, a casual, curious, social discussion club. Come grab a drink and a seat at The Oracle. **Optional topic for this meetup: Where is everybody?** In 1950 the physicist Enrico Fermi was talking about aliens over lunch and asked a question that still has not gone away: if the universe is so vast and so old, and even a fraction of those billions of stars have planets, where is everyone? By the numbers the galaxy should be crowded with civilizations. Instead we look up and hear silence. That gap between "they should be everywhere" and "we see no one" is the Fermi Paradox. One of the most unsettling answers is the idea of a **Great Filter**: somewhere on the road from dead chemistry to a galaxy-spanning civilization, there is at least one step that is almost impossible to get past. Maybe the filter is behind us. Maybe life starting at all, or simple cells becoming complex, or intelligence ever evolving, is the freak accident, and we already cleared the hard part. Or maybe the filter is ahead of us, and advanced civilizations reliably wipe themselves out before they spread. Here is the part that messes with people. If we ever found life somewhere else, even pond scum on Mars, most people would call it the greatest discovery in history. But it might be the worst possible news. It would mean life is common, the early steps are easy, and the hard step is still in front of us. So the eerie silence overhead might actually be the best sign we could ask for. **Questions to wrestle with:** * Is it better to be alone? Would you rather we find alien life and learn we are not special, or find nothing and quietly improve our odds of surviving? * Where do you bet the filter sits, behind us or ahead of us, and why? * If it is ahead of us, what is it? Nuclear war, climate collapse, AI, something we cannot even picture yet? And can we do anything about a filter we cannot see coming? * Two principles pull opposite ways here. The principle of mediocrity (the Copernican principle, Sagan's "no privileged place in the universe") says we are ordinary, so what happened on Earth probably happened everywhere, which makes the silence scream louder. The anthropic principle says of course we find ourselves somewhere life was possible, since we could not observe anything else, so our being here may say almost nothing about how common life is. Which lens do you trust, and does the silence still demand an answer once you account for observer selection? * And if we did confirm life out there and had to accept we are not special, what would that do to belief in a higher power, and would shedding (or keeping) that belief help or hurt our odds of pulling together as one species? * Does any of this change how you live, or how humanity should be spending its time and money right now? As always the prompt is optional. Come for the conversation, stay for the drinks, and bring your own questions.

This workshop offers more than a class—it is a hands-on cultural experience rooted in patience, precision, and ancestral knowledge. Learn the fundamentals of Cherokee double-wall basket construction, a technique known for its strength, balance, and visual depth. This style creates two walls woven simultaneously, resulting in a seamless, durable basket that holds both function and story. Each kit thoughtfully includes pre-soaked and hand-dyed reed, core weaving materials, and guidance through every step of the process. You’ll learn proper starts, shaping, tension control, and how the inner and outer walls work together as one structure. Designed to be accessible for beginners and deeply satisfying for experienced weavers, this workshop emphasizes respect for materials, intentional making, and the rhythm of the hands. With proper supervision, older children and teens may participate, making this an excellent intergenerational learning experience. ***PLEASE NOTE: There are two sessions. A morning session from 9 a.m.—1 p.m. & 2—6 p.m. Click the registration link and select one class.** * A**ddress:** Octagon Earthworks, 125 N. 33rd St., Newark, OH 43055 - UNESCO World Heritage Site * **Hours:** * **Morning Session: 9 a.m.—1 p.m.;** * **Afternoon Session: 2—6 p.m.** * A**dmission :** Ohio History Connection Members - $130, Nonmembers - $140 * Click here to register and pay https://www.ohiohistory.org/events/double-wall-basket-weaving-workshop-2/ At this workshop: • Learn an authentic Cherokee double-wall weaving technique • Encourages mindfulness, focus, and problem-solving • A meaningful alternative to mass-produced crafts • Each basket is completely one-of-a-kind • Ideal for cultural education, art practice, and heirloom making Whether you’re reconnecting with tradition, learning a new skill, or creating something meant to last, this workshop is an invitation to slow down, weave with intention, and carry knowledge forward—one row at a time. This workshop is led by Renata Cauthon, a Cherokee artist and enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation, and one of the few IACB-listed Cherokee artists in Ohio. Beginning her professional art career in 2023, Renata has participated in several exhibitions across the country, including juried art shows. Her work is featured in her tribe’s official gift shop as well as several museum shops, blending traditional Cherokee design with contemporary storytelling to explore identity, resilience, and cultural continuity. The 2025 Reach Indigenous Advocacy Indigenous Advocate of the Year has worked tirelessly to provide access to Cherokee culture in Ohio through partnerships like her work with Fort Ancient Earthworks & Nature Preserve — part of the UNESCO-listed Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks. Since 2024, Renata has led hands-on workshops at Fort Ancient, giving visitors the opportunity to experience Cherokee traditions as living, evolving practices. She is honored to share Cherokee cultural knowledge, inspire understanding of Ohio’s Indigenous history, and invite visitors to explore and engage with her art.
