SUMMARY:The Trickster: How this Ancient Archetype Helps Us to Imagine a Better World
DESCRIPTION:What do Loki\, Banksy\, Bugs Bunny\, Thelonious Monk\, Mae West\, Yoko Ono\, Raven\, Eshù Elégba\, and Muhammad Ali all have in common? Whether deity or human\, all bring Trickster magic to our world.   \nThe Trickster\, a character who animates and enlivens humanity’s oldest stories\, is frequently misunderstood. Wander and wonder with author Shepherd Siegel through the paradoxes\, art\, tricks\, backfires\, pranks\, pratfalls\, and messianic acts that together form this indestructible component of our collective psyche. From that common ground\, we’ll share our own personal encounters with tricksterism and come to an understanding of how the journey from moral indeterminacy to moral discovery can inspire us to imagine and create a better world.  \nThursday\, October 9\, 2025\n6:00 pm – 7:30 pm\nRed Cross Building\n605 Barnes St.\, Vancouver\nPart of the Humanities WA Speakers Series presented by Hawthorn Senior Living \n \n \nShepherd Siegel (he/him) is an author and activist. He started off as a professional rock and jazz musician before becoming a teacher for incarcerated youth and students with disabilities. He earned his doctorate at University of California\, Berkeley\, with studies in anthropology and special education. His recent books\, Disruptive Play and Tricking Power into Performing Acts of Love (a Bronze Winner for an INDIES Book of the Year Award and Silver winner of a CIPA Evvy)\, explore the Trickster in politics and culture. \nSiegel lives in Seattle. \nThis program is offered free of charge\, but space is limited. Please reserve your spot HERE. \nThank you to Humanities WA for their support in bringing this event to Vancouver. Special thanks to the NAACP Vancouver for joining us as our promotional partner for our 2025 series of speaker events.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! Woody Guthrie: A Musical History Performance by Joel Underwood
DESCRIPTION:**This event is sold out! No waiting list and no standby ticket sales at door \nMusician\, historian\, and storyteller Joel Underwood returns to Vancouver for a very special two-act performance (with intermission) about the life and music of folksinger and activist Woodie Guthrie. \nGuthrie composed 26 songs in 30 days while riding along the Columbia River and touring the Grand Coulee Dam Project in 1941. With his unique\, authentic voice\, he chronicled both the grandeur and the perils of what he called “The Greatest Thing That Man Has Ever Done” as an employee of the Bonneville Power Administration. His time here in the Pacific Northwest inspired a swell of patriotism that led Guthrie to enlist in the U.S. Merchant Marine in World War II\, after which he returned home to fame and notoriety\, but also to tragedy and tremendous personal loss. \nThis interactive musical history performance will have you singing along to “Roll on Columbia\,” “Pastures of Plenty\,” and of course\, “This Land is Your Land\,” and learning the—sometimes hilarious\, sometimes tragic—stories behind the songs. \nTickets are $18 in advance and include any applicable taxes and fees. Space is limited and tickets may sell out prior to the event. If available\, tickets will be sold at the door for $25 each. \nGeneral admission seating in Providence Academy Chapel pews will be available on a first-come first-served basis. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. (30 minutes prior to performance start time). Free parking is available in the Providence Academy lot (the Aeon Apartments parking lot is NOT available for event parking). \nThis event is a fundraiser for The Historic Trust\, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. Proceeds from ticket sales support its mission to inspire civic pride and economic vitality through education\, preservation\, and celebration of our community’s history.
