There are places we make - a room we bring a vase of flowers and a new rug to, a hut or house we hand-build - and there are places that make us: the creek that flows down our street and waters our flowers, the rugged hills that trap fog and shape our weather. In fact, this process is ongoing and interconnected: the place we live makes us, even as we remake it. The more we can be aware of this intricate and wondrous feedback mechanism, the better we can respond to our place, and the more it will come alive for us.
On Thursday, April 28, at Ukiah's Grace Hudson Museum, Osprey Oreille Lake will speak to this subject in a reading and signing from her just-released book, 'Uprisings for the Earth: Reconnecting Culture with Nature.' Osprey is an artist, writer and activist who creates monumental bronze sculptures on nature-themed art. A faculty member of Holy Names University and director of the Women's 2020 Leadership Caucus for Climate Solutions, her work brings a much-needed creative angle to our ecological crisis and reimagines the social and natural landscapes of our cities and towns. Osprey grew up in the town of Mendocino and will be sharing stories close to home, emphasizing how place and region shape our thinking, our identity and our actions. The reading begins at 6:30 pm.
This program is held in conjunction with the Grace Hudson Museum's current exhibit, 'Look at Who We Are: Stories of Home,' a multimedia exploration of the Ukiah's Valley rich past. Visitors can view the exhibit for free and apply Osprey's thoughts on the influence of place to the very spot where they are standing. 'Look at Who We Are: Stories of Home' is on display through June 19. The Grace Hudson Museum is at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah. For more information see
