SUMMARY:From China to Mexico:  A Journey of Decorative Arts
DESCRIPTION:Mexico/New Spain in the 17th and 18th centuries was an area that enjoyed enormous economic prosperity. Each year trading ships from China brought goods to Mexico in exchange for New World silver. Stylistic features and design of many trade items influenced artists and designers working in Mexico. Mexican ceramics displayed the impact of galleon trade most vividly\, and Manila shawls display Chinese silk motifs and decorative techniques which later inspired the decoration of Mexican textiles. This presentation traces the history of Mexican talavara design\, Manila shawl (Mantones de Manila) surface embroidery and the transformation of both to become uniquely Mexican decorative arts. \nBrenda Brandt has a Ph.D. from Florida State University. She is a published author who has held faculty positions at the University of Arizona and Colorado State University as a researcher and educator. Past museum experience includes curatorial and education responsibilities in history and cultural museums in the Valley. Her study of the social and personal relationships that people have with material culture through artifacts\, as well as the design\, meanings and significance of objects worldwide\, led her to open a consulting business\, BMB Artifact SERVICES in Phoenix in 2011.

SUMMARY:Growing Up Chicana in Morenci\, Arizona - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:Growing Up Chicana in Morenci\, Arizona\nThrough a slide presentation of the town before its destruction in the late 1960s\, readings from Suffer Smoke and Water from the Moon\, and oral history interviews\, Díaz Björkquist portrays the lives of girls and women of Morenci in their own voices. It is a historically accurate picture of life for Mexican Americans in a segregated copper mining town from the 1920s to the late 1960s. This inspirational presentation pays tribute to four generations of Chicanas who\, in spite of discrimination\, persevered and showed that “si se puede” (it can be done). Morenci Chicanas were the “glue” that kept the family unit together with their unique cultural spirit\, showing courage and strength. \nElena Díaz Björkquist is a writer\, historian\, and artist from Tucson\, Arizona. She writes about Morenci where she was born. Elena is the author of two books\, Suffer Smoke and Water from the Moon and co-editor of Sowing the Seeds\, una cosecha de recuerdosand Our Spirit\, Our Reality; celebrating our Stories.

SUMMARY:Sedona: From Cucumbers to Leavenworth - Sedona
DESCRIPTION:Using interviews with Sedona Schnebly’s children\, Lisa Schnebly Heidinger  has put together little-known details about this amazing woman’s life\, from being written out of the will for marrying TC Schnebly on her 20th birthday to the fate of the man she didn’t marry. Her story includes the journey west and the comic and tragic details of building community in an admittedly beautiful but also harsh place.  Family recollections stitch around the edges\, with some surprising anecdotes about this WTCU member. \nAs a native of the state  (although in speeches she often says that Sedona Schnebly came from Missouri\, so true Arizonans can be born anywhere)\, Lisa Schnebly Heidinger’s deepest passion lies in sharing stories of our amazing state and helping others find their favorite Arizona.  Beginning as a cub reporter for the Green Valley News\, she feels her best ministry lies in taking in other people’s stories and sharing them with wider audiences.  When Heidinger’s state centennial book was voted OneBookAZ\, she  went on a  statewide tour that included a seven-person audience in Concho and more than 100 in Fountain Hills. In all\, she loves sharing Arizona stories.
