Audubon’s American History with Gregory Nobles
Registration: FREE

In addition to being a remarkable painter of birds, John James Audubon was a lively teller of tales. In Ornithological Biography, his five-volume, 3000 page companion to The Birds of America, Audubon interspersed dozens of stories about the American people, ranging from their environmental habits to their social behaviors to their race relations. While some of these stories are more true than others, together they give us a fascinating view of the ways Audubon understood his adopted country. They also invite us to look at Audubon himself as a writer of both myth and history. In this session, we will explore several of Audubon’s stories to discuss—and no doubt debate—how we understand his portrayal of the past from our own perspective of the present.
 
Gregory Nobles is Professor Emeritus of History at Georgia Tech and the author of John James Audubon: The Nature of the American Woodsman (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2017). He divides his time between Atlanta, where he is a member of Georgia Audubon, and Northport MI, where he is a member of Michigan Audubon.

​A Virtual Tour of the Three Billion Art Exhibit Brickworks Gallery Owner Laura Adams
Registration: Free


“Three Billion” is a group show of art curated by Brickworks Gallery owner and artist, Laura W. Adams at the Hudgens Center for the Arts. In this show, Adams has curated a group of ten artists from the Atlanta region and beyond whose work focuses on environmental themes and wildlife declines. In this monthly meeting, Adams will take us on a virtual tour of the exhibit and speak with some of the artists whose work will be on display. The name “Three Billion” refers to the recent report published in Science magazine on the loss of some three billion of our North American birds in the last 50 years. The artists in this show have come together to display art that speaks to this horrifying loss, its causes and its solutions, as well as to the beauty and awesomeness of birds and their environments. The artists hope to bring more awareness of this unfolding tragedy and its potential solutions, through the medium of art. The show opens on February 6, 2021 and runs through April 24, 2021.  The Hudgens Center for the Arts is located in Duluth in the Infinity Energy Center complex. 
 
About the Presenter: Laura W. Adams is a collage artist whose work depicts the forests, wildlife and wildflowers of the world. She concentrates her subject matter on the flora and fauna and birds that live in areas around her. An avid birder and hiker, Adams’ work brings the viewer into the emotional and spiritual connection she feels in the presence of nature. The source material Adams uses for her collages include found items from nature, textured papers, painted papers and exotic patterned papers that have been cut up, layered, and adhered with acrylic medium. Often, ten or more layers of material are used to create a single work. The result is a “painting” with a distinct, three-dimensional effect. Adams has shown her work in galleries and juried exhibitions throughout the United States. Her pieces are owned in a number of corporate collections as well as private collections around the world.

Equity in Birding: Does Where We Go Birding Matter? with Deja Perkins
FREE


We are connected through our love of birds, but does where we go birding impact science? Join us as we speak with Deja Perkins on Equity in Birding. We will explore Georgia spatially and take a closer look at how the diversity and abundance of birds changes across different socioeconomic neighborhoods. As an urban ecologist, Deja will share a holistic approach to thinking about urban ecosystems, and discuss the human structures and individual decisions that influence where birds are found in Georgia. How can we as birders contribute better data to help researchers and managers make better decisions about the birds we love?
