Henley Business School Keynote Lecture by Baroness Dido Harding, Chief Executive of Talk Talk at RBS Group, Bishopsgate, London
We hosted a special event about ‘Pataphysics, the “science of imaginary solutions” -- and its founder, french poet Alfred Jarry, as part of our educational programs this month at the Mill Valley Library. This one-hour lecture and group discussion was held on October 15 in the Creekside Room, and engaged dozens of local community members in a fascinating conversation about the art movement that inspired surrealism and dadaism. Our presenters were Marshall Smith and Priscilla Wheeler, with creative contributions by Mark Petrakis, Freddy Hahne, as well as Fabrice and Phyllis Florin.
This program complements the first public exhibit of the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine, our poetic oracle, which is on display this month at the Mill Valley Library. Come see the slot machine this month! The exhibit is open from 1 to 5pm every Saturday and Sunday in October, in the downstairs conference room of the Mill Valley Library. Pataphysical Studio members will be on hand to demo the Slot Machine and share what we have learned while building this interactive art project.

we have just had a tour of the building site behind our house. This is the flexible lecture theatre which is part of the Marine Institute. Flexible because it is a flat space and the tables are all on wheels so they can easily move then away and just have chairs or take it all out to have standing room only

The Rabbi Perry Nussbaum Lecture Series, an annual event at Millsaps. Dr. John D. Bower, renal pioneer and friend of the late Nussbaum, endowed in 2008 the lecture series, which is dedicated to men and women who have stood against racial bigotry and religious prejudice. This year's program was "Change from Within: Bringing Balance and Truth to the Historic Natchez Tableaux" by Madeline Iles.
Madeline Iles, senior history major at Millsaps, interned for Ed King, Jerry Mitchell, and Mississippi Public Broadcasting. These experiences and her interest in media as a tool for producing social change inspired her to film a documentary about her work to transform the traditional Natchez Tableaux. Throughout its 85 year history, the Tableaux had presented a romanticized view of the Old South. Madeline worked to showcase historical facts, linking the past to current issues of social justice. In addition to changing the program to acknowledge the South's defeat in the Civil War, Madeline pushed for the meaningful inclusion of African Americans in the program along with a frank representation of slavery. Madeline's project documents the unprecedented actions taken in 2015's Confederate Pageant and gives a first-hand view of social change in action.
