Graphic Discontent: German Expressionism on Paper Emily Peters
CMA’s Curator of Prints and Drawings, Emily Peters, will lead the group through her exhibition “Graphic Discontent: German Expressionism on Paper” in the museum’s Print and Drawings galleries.

Big Data and Invitationals Andria Hickey
“Simon Denny: Unfinished Oceans” presents new works including paintings, board game sculptures and objects made in relation to a seminar involving students from Case Western Reserve University’s Weatherhead School of Management and the Cleveland Institute of Art. This new work emerges from Denny’s research into the role that Big Data is playing in radically altering our political and corporate structures to produce new worldviews.
“The Invitational: Tauba Auerbach and Éliane Radigue” introduces a new exhibition format in which an artist collaborates with an artist who has influenced his or her work over time. Tauba Auerbach makes paintings, sculptures and typography inspired by systems of logic—mathematical, linguistic and spatial. Éliane Radigue is one of the leading figures in the history of experimental music and sound art. Auerbach is creating an architecturally responsive exhibition that engages, even contains, Radigue’s unique sound works.

Apr. 11 Cleveland History Center Western Reserve Historical Society 10825 East Blvd. / Cleveland, Ohio 44106
Object Lessons: Real Stuff and What to Exhibit John J. Grabowski
The term “material culture” denotes objects that existed in the past and, from our contemporary perspective, can be used to explore the values, ideas and customs of a past era. Collecting, collections and the power of the artifact will be central to this discussion, in addition to the controversy over how exhibits show that “truth” can have serious consequences for any historical enterprise. How does one present the past in a manner that respects the sometimes conflicting agendas of scholars, funding agencies, donors and the public conception of what “really happened”?
Explore these issues while engaging with the newest exhibition experience, “Cleveland Starts Here,” presented by the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation—a permanent core exhibit and digital portal that explores the rich and diverse history of Cleveland and Northeast Ohio.
Apr. 25 Cleveland Museum of Natural History 1 Wade Oval Drive / Cleveland, Ohio 44106
Object Lessons: Reconstructing Ancient Worlds Denise Su, Ph.D.
How do we know what past environments were like? What do we need to figure it out? Dr. Su is a paleoecologist who specializes in reconstructing the environments of our ancient ancestors. She will talk about how she collects paleoecological data and how she uses data to reconstruct the environments in which our fossil relatives lived.

The First Amendment: Free SpeechThe First Amendment issue of free speech could not be more important. Being able to speak out for a candidate or cause or to speak against that same issue or candidate is the bedrock of American democracy. We will look at why the founding fathers thought this was important enough to make it part of the First Amendment and will examine landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases that define our freedom of speech. Our history has led us to the present conflict between this freedom and our respect for our country and our flag. Can there be both?

Advisory TeamPart of what makes our program so wonderful are participants like you who want to make a difference in the Encore program. The advisory team, listed below, are participants who volunteer their time to attend and research events throughout the area to promote the Encore program, help in the office with administrative tasks, update the website with participant information, post on social media and stay in touch with Encore administration. We meet two or three times a year to discuss what can be done to improve the Encore program. If you are interested in being part of the advisory team, please call 216-987-2274 or email us at encore@tri-c.edu.
