SUMMARY:"Beyond the Kitsch: The Pervasive Spirit of our Indigenous Creative Community " with Nanibaa Beck
DESCRIPTION:PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION \nThroughout the Southwest\, tourists and locals encounter a range of Indigenous art\, from manufactured and imported cultural appropriations to fine art in galleries and museums. The state’s creative Indigenous communities are sometimes lost in what is popularly featured as Native American Art. In this presentation\, Diné jeweler Nanibaa Beck will highlight contemporary Native American Art\, focusing on eclectic indigenous creatives throughout Arizona and beyond. Beck draws examples from her friends\, family\, and extended kin to demonstrate the diversity of artistic talents\, mediums\, and philosophical approaches of Indigenous artists. The presentation will leave participants with a better appreciation for the range of Native American creativity the state has to offer. \nThis program is cohosted by the Maricopa County Library District – Sun City Library. \nABOUT THE SPEAKER \nNanibaa Beck is a 2nd generation Diné (Navajo) jeweler. Since 2013\, her work reflects Native creative expressions and the growth of an Diné ‘Asdzaa (Navajo woman) as a designer and maker. Being intricately connected to the creative process at an early age motivated Beck to become more knowledgeable about the multifaceted areas surrounding Native American Art. Her anthropology background includes work and fellowships with renown museums\, including the Heard Museum\, the National Museum of the American Indian\, the Peabody Essex Museum and the Field Museum.

SUMMARY:FRANK Talks: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World - Sun City
DESCRIPTION:“Fake News”: The Impact of Fake News in the Real World\nJamie Bowen\, Arizona State University\, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication \nAlthough not new\, our awareness and use of the term “fake news” has risen in prominence. In general\, “fake news” is media that consists of deliberate misinformation\, news whose main purpose is to distort “the truth for emotional persuasion\, seeking to drive action.”  More recently it has become a catchall term used to discredit stories\, and in the political arena to influence the political process and elections.  With social media\, fake news can reach a large audience with little cost.  How can we tell what is fake news and what is real news? What is the impact of “fake news”?  How does “fake news” affect public opinion and civic engagement? How do we balance the benefits of free speech against the burden of propaganda? Join us for a lively FRANK Talk about “fake news\,” free speech and journalism today.
