This year’s theme is place and water. We will take a deep, immersive dive (no pun intended!) into a single place: Lake Mendota, its southern shoreline, and its deep geological and Indigenous history.
Through presentations, exploration, and activities, CHE associates and guests will immerse themselves in place-based investigations related to water, the intersection of water and land, and the Indigenous past, present, and future.
Cost: free to attendees.
There will be an optional event from 6 to 7 p.m. May 12 at the Madison Central Library, 201 W. Mifflin Street: An evening with the acclaimed poet Jane Hirshfield. Separate registration is required.
