Monday, April 8, 2024 Stroll Off returns and five other events happening this week
Solar Social
12 to 2 p.m. April 8 | City Campus Plaza and East Campus Loop
Celebrate the first total solar eclipse in the United States since 2017 with music, ice cream for purchase, educational booths, yoga and more. The Solar Social is a fun way for Huskers to get outside on a beautiful spring day while watching a partial eclipse roll over campus.
Special glasses for safe viewing — as well as telescopes for taking a closer look— will be available at both City and East campus locations.
The eclipse will take place at 1:53 p.m.
A free yoga class will be held from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Meier Commons. This class will incorporate sun salutations to celebrate the Solar Eclipse. A limited number of mats will be provided. Attendees are encouraged to bring a mat, blanket, or towel if possible. Register in advance.
Artist in Residence: Angela Two Stars
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 9 to 13 | Great Plains Art Museum, Rubendall Education Studio and Lab, 1155 Q St.
The Great Plains Art Museum’s 2024 Elizabeth Rubendall Artist in Residence is Angela Two Stars, a multidisciplinary visual artist, public artist, and curator.
During her residency, Two Stars will create an artwork that will become part of the museum’s permanent collection. Visitors are encouraged to see the artist in action in the lower-level Elizabeth Rubendall Artist-in-Residence Studio & Education Lab from April 9 to 13 during the museum’s public hours.
‘What Were You Wearing?’ Survivor Art Installation
12 to 7 p.m. April 9-11 | Nebraska East Union, Garden Room
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. April 15-18 | Will Cather Dining Complex, Red Cloud B-C
An art exhibit that asks participants to understand that it is never about the clothing when sexual violence occurs, this display will show representations of outfits worn during assaults with accompanying stories from sexual violence survivors. Inspired by the poem “What I Was Wearing” by Dr. Mary Simmerling, the project intends to shed light on the burden of self-blame brought forth by the victim-blaming question that is pervasive for most survivors, and shatter the myth that sexual violence can be attributed to a person’s choice in clothing.
Survivors are empowered to share their stories through this submission form.
The exhibit is free and open to the public.
Check out all the ways you can participate in Sexual Assault Awareness Month on campus.
