SUMMARY:Yoggs Choreograph Pilgrimage
DESCRIPTION:This event was postponed from the Winterfest weekend. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is event is free and open to the public. Performances will be 20 – 25 minutes long and will take place at 2 & 3 pm. The choreography is designed so that the public can move through the exhibition while the performance is taking place.  \n“To make it visible and tangible\, we need light and material\, any material. And any material can take on the burden of what had been brewing in our consciousness or subconsciousness\, in our awareness or in our dreams.” Anni Albers. \nInspired by the Patrick Dougherty exhibit and the weavings of Anni Albers\, Taryn Griggs and Chris Yon (the Yoggs) will present a new work for six dancers at the Blowing Rock Art and History Museum during the Blowing Rock Winter Festival. The Yoggs are galvanized by Albers and Dougherty’s use of a simple element\, for Albers the thread\, for Dougherty the sapling\, to make intricate works that invite the audience to engage\, interact and dream of possibilities. In response the Yoggs  will use simple everyday movements like walking\, running and skipping to create a physical tapestry. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:How Scientists are Using Genetics to Protect Ramps
DESCRIPTION:Ramps (Allium tricoccum Aiton)\, or wild leeks\, are perennial herbaceous plants native to the forests of eastern North America and valued for their distinctive flavor and cultural significance. Despite increasing harvest pressure\, relatively little is known about their genetic diversity or\ntaxonomic boundaries. While ramps reproduce both clonally through bulb division and sexually through seed production\, the extent to which these modes shape population diversity remains unclear. Additional uncertainty surrounds species delineation within the group\, with as many as four taxa historically proposed. \nDr. Estep’s research provides the first preliminary genetic evidence supporting the recognition of a second ramp taxon—narrow-leaf ramps. His colleagues are expanding their surveys to verify other Ramp species. Together\, this work establishes foundational genetic tools for\nunderstanding ramp taxonomy and informs conservation strategies for this increasingly exploited forest species. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:First in Freedom: North Carolina and the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:APP STATE Presents A lecture by Dr. Karl Campbell The state of North Carolina had the American Revolution in mind when it authorized our license plates to read “first in freedom.” Given the more prominent roles played by other states–such as Massachusetts\, New York\, Pennsylvania\, and Virginia—on what basis does North Carolina make this claim\, and how does it hold up under historical scrutiny? \nDr. Campbell\,  will reexamine the stories\, controversies\, and ongoing debates about the Ol’ North State’s contribution to the American Revolution. This lecture will suggest that the events of 250 years ago are not just a patriotic history to celebrate but a sacred obligation to fulfill. \nWebsite

SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience
DESCRIPTION:Take time for yourself for a special series BRAHM is calling Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience. \nWhat is Slow Art?  \nMost of us stroll through an art gallery\, pausing at a piece of art for a few moments before moving on to the next\, like some form of visual buffet. Slow Art as a concept was created to encourage us all to stay with the art for a little longer\, savor\, and soak it in. The hope is that we not only see more\, but also get to know the works in greater detail. Exploring artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories\, feelings\, and opinions about the works. \nWebsite
