Greg Boyle\, S.J. DESCRIPTION:Father Gregory Boyle is the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles\, the largest gang-intervention\, rehabilitation\, and re-entry program in the world. \nBorn and raised in Los Angeles and Jesuit priest\, from 1986 to 1992 Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles that also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city. \nFr. Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1\,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence\, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. \nIn 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries\, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises\, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. \nFr. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Followed by Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship (2017) and The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness (2021). Most recently\, he authored Forgive Everyone Everything\, an anthology of writings accompanied by Fabian Debora’s artwork. \nHe has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014\, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame’s 2017 Laetare Medal\, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle’s vision and work by the organization for over three decades.

Greg Boyle\, S.J. DESCRIPTION:Father Gregory Boyle is the founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles\, the largest gang-intervention\, rehabilitation\, and re-entry program in the world. \nBorn and raised in Los Angeles and Jesuit priest\, from 1986 to 1992 Fr. Boyle served as pastor of Dolores Mission Church in Boyle Heights. Dolores Mission was the poorest Catholic parish in Los Angeles that also had the highest concentration of gang activity in the city. \nFr. Boyle witnessed the devastating impact of gang violence on his community during the so-called “decade of death” that began in the late 1980s and peaked at 1\,000 gang-related killings in 1992. In the face of law enforcement tactics and criminal justice policies of suppression and mass incarceration as the means to end gang violence\, he and parish and community members adopted what was a radical approach at the time: treat gang members as human beings. \nIn 1988 they started what would eventually become Homeboy Industries\, which employs and trains former gang members in a range of social enterprises\, as well as provides critical services to thousands of individuals who walk through its doors every year seeking a better life. \nFr. Boyle is the author of the 2010 New York Times-bestseller Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion. Followed by Barking to the Choir: The Power of Radical Kinship (2017) and The Whole Language: The Power of Extravagant Tenderness (2021). Most recently\, he authored Forgive Everyone Everything\, an anthology of writings accompanied by Fabian Debora’s artwork. \nHe has received the California Peace Prize and been inducted into the California Hall of Fame. In 2014\, President Obama named Fr. Boyle a Champion of Change. He received the University of Notre Dame’s 2017 Laetare Medal\, the oldest honor given to American Catholics. Homeboy Industries was the recipient of the 2020 Hilton Humanitarian Prize validating 32 years of Fr. Greg Boyle’s vision and work by the organization for over three decades.

With a musical journey spanning thirty years\, Wilco’s authenticity and fearless exploration of genres shine through\, exemplified in their 13th studio album\, Cousin\, a collaboration with Welsh artist Cate Le Bon. The new tracks fit right in alongside a setlist of fan favorites\, including hits like “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart\,” “Via Chicago\,” “Spiders (Kidsmoke)\,” and more. \nCUT WORMS (opener)\nMax Clarke is the Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter and musician presently known as Cut Worms. Cut Worm’s new Self Titled album continues Clarke’s exploration of what he calls “pop essentialism.” Mining the golden hits of yesteryear for a timeless sound\, he contemplates age-old questions through a modern lens. Here\, he leaves behind the legendary studio and sought-after producers for a more homegrown approach\, working with a cast of gifted friends and collaborators. The result is a compact collection of daydream anthems that live between the summer’s hopeful beginnings and the season’s fleeting end.

But it’s also the key component of one of the most vital: fertilizer\, which has sustained life for billions of people. In this major work of explanatory science and environmental journalism\, Pulitzer Prize finalist Dan Egan investigates the past\, present and future of what has been called “the oil of our time.” \nThe story of phosphorus spans the globe and vast tracts of human history\, and over the past century\, phosphorus has made farming vastly more productive\, feeding the enormous increase in the human population. Yet\, overreliance on this vital crop nutrient is today causing toxic algae blooms and “dead zones” in waterways across the country. Egan explores the alarming reality that diminishing access to phosphorus poses a threat to the food system worldwide — which risks rising conflict and even war. \nWith The Devil’s Element\, Egan has written an essential and eye-opening account that urges us to pay attention to one of the most perilous but little-known environmental issues of our time. \nDan Egan for many years covered the Great Lakes for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Now he writes occasional long-form pieces about climate change for national media outlets and is a senior water policy fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s School of Freshwater Sciences. He is the author of the 2019 CLSC selection The Death and Life of the Great Lakes. Twice a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize\, he has won the Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award\, John B. Oakes Award\, AAAS Kavli Science Journalism Award and J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.

To better accommodate neurodiverse audiences\, patrons should expect dimmed house lights\, creating a more calming environment with softer and less intense lighting and reduced sound levels to minimize sudden loud noises or jarring sounds. Audience members are permitted to move around\, vocalize\, or express themselves as needed. This can include the freedom to leave and re-enter the performance space without judgment. \nBy Noah Haidle \nErnestine Ashworth contemplates her cosmic insignificance on her 17th birthday\, a feeling that follows her through the swift passage of time. In the blink of an eye\, she reaches her 18th birthday\, hurtles toward her 41st\, accelerates into her 70th\, and glides into her 101st. Birthday Candles is a heartfelt and humorous story that guides the audience through the significant\, challenging\, and remarkable moments as time inexorably marches on. One ordinary woman’s life is measured by the simple tradition of baking a birthday cake. \nOriginally developed as a New Play Workshop during the 2017 season and then performed around the country\, Chautauqua will finally mount its own full production of Birthday Candles. What a fitting way to open CTC’s mainstage season and celebrate Chautauqua Institution’s 150th birthday! \nThis production may not be suitable for youth under 8.

As the family travels west\, the bonds between them begin to fray: a fracture is growing between the parents\, one the children can almost feel beneath their feet. \nThrough ephemera such as songs\, maps and a Polaroid camera\, the children try to make sense of both their family’s crisis and the larger one engulfing the news: the stories of thousands of kids trying to cross the southwestern border into the United States but getting detained—or lost in the desert along the way. A breath-taking feat of literary virtuosity\, Lost Children Archive is timely\, compassionate\, subtly hilarious\, and formally inventive—a powerful\, urgent story about what it is to be human in an inhuman world. \nValeria Luiselli was born in Mexico City and grew up in Costa Rica\, South Korea\, South Africa and India.

To honor the significant lineage of these musical traditions and the profound relationship between them\, the quartet borrowed an “old/new name for the continent\, based on many creation myths of the people who have been here for millennia.” “Turtle Island” is the origin story shared by many First Nation people of the Eastern Woodlands\, where it is said that the entire continent of North America was built from soil placed on the back of a great Turtle. This myth has inspired a unifying bond between many tribes. \nSince its inception\, the Turtle Island Quartet has undergone many transformations. Just in the last year\, they have begun transitioning from an ensemble that features a hybrid of arranged standards and new repertoire\, such as the group’s recent Bird’s Eye View\, to an original music ensemble. To commemorate their new identity\, the quartet\, resident composer and violinist David Balakrishnan with violinist Gabriel Terracciano\, violist Benjamin von Gutzeit and cellist Naseem Alatrash\, has taken on an ambitious\, multi-composer commission. Island Prayers will celebrate the range of influences within the rich cultural spectrum of the continent “Turtle Island.” URL:https://www.chq.org/event/chautauqua-chamber-music-turtle-island-string-quartet/ LOCATION:Elizabeth S.

To better accommodate neurodiverse audiences\, patrons should expect dimmed house lights\, creating a more calming environment with softer and less intense lighting and reduced sound levels to minimize sudden loud noises or jarring sounds. Audience members are permitted to move around\, vocalize\, or express themselves as needed. This can include the freedom to leave and re-enter the performance space without judgment. \nor\, The Re-Education of Undine\nBy Lynn Nottage \nPreviews: July 27-28\nPerformance Dates: July 30- Aug. 4 \nUndine is a powerful and successful business owner basking in the glory of all her accomplishments. She has everything from wealth to love and a fabulous wardrobe to match\, but life has a wicked sense of humor. The man she believes is the love of her life pulls the ultimate disappearing act\, stealing everything and leaving her pregnant and penniless. Plummeting down the precarious ladder of society\, Undine finds herself grappling with the disintegration of her once-perfect life as she is forced to return to her humble roots in Brooklyn and the family she once abandoned. Can Undine manifest her future without acknowledging her past? \nFabulation is a sharp-witted satirical comedy that takes us from riches to rags\, through twists and turns\, and reveals the unexpected joys within chaos. \nThis production includes adult content—depictions of drug use and harsh language—and may not be suitable for youth 13 and under.

It’s for someone supposedly “red on the outside\, white on the inside.” In his poetic memoir\, Apple: Skin to the Core\, Eric Gansworth tells his story\, the story of his family — of Onondaga among Tuscaroras — of Native folks everywhere. From the horrible legacy of the government boarding schools\, to a boy watching his siblings leave and return and leave again\, to a young man fighting to be an artist who balances multiple worlds. As he covers these topics\, Gansworth discusses common slurs against Indigenous Americans\, shattering and reclaiming “Apple” in verse and prose and imagery that truly lives up to the word heartbreaking. \nApple: Skin to the Core was longlisted for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature\, a Michael L. Printz Award honor book\, and the winner of the American Indian Youth Literature Award for Young Adult. It serves as a joint selection for the CLSC and the CLSC Young Readers program. \nEric Gansworth (Sˑha-weñ na-saeˀ) is a member of Eel clan\, enrolled Onondaga\, born and raised at the Tuscarora Nation. A writer and visual artist\, he has published a dozen books and has had solo exhibitions at the Castellani Museum\, Colgate University\, Westfield State University\, SUNY Oneonta and Bright Hill Center. A professor of English and Lowery Writer-in-Residence at Canisius College in Buffalo\, New York\, Gansworth’s work has been supported by the Library of Congress\, the New York Foundation for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities\, among others. He recently was selected for inclusion in LIT CITY\, a public arts project celebrating Buffalo’s literary legacy.

But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. \n“What the peacock can do\,” she tells us\, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile\, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely\, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. \nAimee Nezhukumatathil is the author of the New York Times best-selling illustrated collection of nature essays\, World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies\, Whale Sharks & Other Astonishments. She also wrote four previous poetry collections including Oceanic. Her most recent chapbook is Lace & Pyrite\, a collaboration of epistolary garden poems with the poet Ross Gay. Honors include a poetry fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Pushcart Prize\, a Mississippi Arts Council grant\, and being named a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry. She is poetry editor for Sierra magazine\, the story-telling arm of The Sierra Club. She is professor of English and Creative Writing in the University of Mississippi’s MFA program and her forthcoming book of food essays is called Bite By Bite (Ecco\, May 2024). \nMexican WhiteBoy \nDanny’s tall and skinny with arms long enough to give his pitch a power so fierce any college scout would sign him on the spot. A 95-mph fastball\, but the boy’s not even on a team. Every time he gets up on the mound\, he loses it. But at private school\, they don’t expect much else from him. Danny’s brown. Half-Mexican brown. And growing up in San Diego that close to the border means everyone else knows exactly who he is before he even opens his mouth. Before they find out he can’t speak Spanish\, and before they realize his mom has blonde hair and blue eyes\, they’ve got him pegged. \nDanny’s convinced it’s his whiteness that sent his father back to Mexico. And that’s why he’s spending the summer with his dad’s family. Only\, to find himself\, he might just have to face the demons he refuses to see right in front oh his face. And open up to a friendship he never saw coming. \nAn ALA-YALSA Best Book for Young Adults (Top 10 Pick) and a Junior Library Guild Selection\, Mexican WhiteBoy serves as a joint selection for the CLSC and the CLSC Young Readers program. His picture book\, Milo Imagines the World\, also serves as an Early Reader selection for Week Seven. \nMatt de la Peña is the New York Times Bestselling\, Newbery Medal-winning author of seven young adult novels (including Mexican WhiteBoy\, We Were Here\, and Superman: Dawnbreaker) and six picture books (including Milo Imagines the World and Last Stop on Market Street). In 2016 he was awarded the NCTE Intellectual Freedom Award. Matt received his MFA in creative writing from San Diego State University and his BA from the University of the Pacific where he attended school on a full basketball scholarship. In 2019 Matt was given an honorary doctorate from UOP. de la Peña currently lives in Southern California. He teaches creative writing and visits schools and colleges throughout the country. \nCelebrating the awe this world inspires in all things big and small\, the wonder literature encourages us to pursue in our everyday lives as we seek to build a greater understanding of our shared humanity\, and the significance of our shared reading experiences\, Aimee Nezhukumatathil and Matt de la Peña will be featured together in conversation during our Week Seven CLSC Lecture on August 8\, 2024\, in the Hall of Philosophy.

Exploring a sound they call Americana funk\, Twisted Pine takes traditional music in exhilarating directions. Bassist Chris Sartori writes\, “This album is easier to feel than describe. We’re rooted in bluegrass\, continually inspired by explorers like Bela Fleck\, Jerry Douglas\, and Sierra Hull. Right Now takes this heritage into a new dimension. Our bluegrass is jazzy\, our indie folk is poppy\, our grooves are funky. “Twisted Pine [Kathleen Parks\, fiddle; Dan Bui\, mandolin; Chris Sartori\, bass; Anh Phung\, flute] grooves with fearless improvisation and intricate arrangements. “They were once bluegrass\,” wrote The Boston Globe\, “but … this Boston band has become something else\, a wider version of string band\, boundary jumpers akin to outfits like Punch Brothers\, Nickel Creek\, and Crooked Still.” URL:https://www.chq.org/event/twisted-pine/ LOCATION:Amphitheater\, Amphitheater CATEGORIES:Chautauqua Institution Program,Weekly Themes,Week Eight (August 10–17),Popular Entertainment & Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chq.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/photo-credit-Blake-Hannahson-IMG_4951-scaled-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240813T083000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240813T094500 DTSTAMP:20240328T060239 CREATED:20240201T153049Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240201T153049Z UID:75829-1723537800-1723542300@www.chq.org SUMMARY:Beginner SUP Class DESCRIPTION: URL:https://www.chq.org/event/beginner-sup-class-13/ LOCATION:Sports Club\, Sports Club CATEGORIES:Chautauqua Institution Program,Recreation ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.chq.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Paddleboard-2017.JPG.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240813T104500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240813T120000 DTSTAMP:20240328T060239 CREATED:20231201T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240214T180036Z UID:74602-1723545900-1723550400@www.chq.org SUMMARY:Marc Bierkens\, Malin Fezehai & Arati Kumar-Rao DESCRIPTION:Three National Geographic Explorers whose work examines water issues across the world come together in conversation on the Amphitheater stage for the Chautauqua Lecture Series and a week on “Water: Crisis\, Beauty and Necessity.” \nMarc Bierkens is professor of hydrology in the Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University\, whose current research focuses on understanding the global water cycle and how this is impacted by climate change and human water use. To support this work\, his group has built a high-resolution global hydrological and water resources model — the results of which are frequently used in public outreach like National Geographic’s World Water Map\, and to aid NGOs and companies in water risk assessments through projects like the World Resources Institute Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. \nAt Utrecht University\, Bierkens served as acting chairman of the Department of Physical Geography from 2009 to 2015\, and since June 2021 as Vice Dean of Research for the Faculty of Geosciences. He is a fellow of the American Geophysical Union and is editor of the journal Water Resources Research. In 2023 he received the Henry Darcy Medal from the European Geosciences Union and the Hydrology Award from the American Geophysical Union. Since 2023\, he is also a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nMalin Fezehai is an Eritrean/Swedish New York-based photographer\, filmmaker and visual reporter who has worked across the Middle East\, Africa\, Asia and America. In 2023\, National Geographic Society and The Climate Pledge announced Fezehai among its latest cohort of grant recipients documenting the global climate crisis. With this grant\, Fezehai is examining human adaptations to sea level rise and the experiences of people permanently living on water. \nFezehai’s work focuses on communities of displacement and dislocation around the world. In 2016\, she was commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme to photograph survivors of violent extremism across Sub-Saharan Africa\, which resulted in her book\, SURVIVORS. In 2018\, she worked at The New York Times as a visual reporter for the “Surfacing” column. \nFezehai has received a 2015 World Press Photo Award\, a Wallis Annenberg Prize\, and was named one of the 30 Emerging Photographers to watch in 2015 by Photo District News. Her image depicting a wedding of Eritrean refugees in Israel was the first iPhone photo ever to receive a World Press Photo Award. \nWorking across South Asia\, environmental photographer\, artist and writer Arati Kumar-Rao documents environmental degradation that has reached cataclysmic levels. She chronicles anthropogenic changes in landscapes and their fallouts on livelihood and culture — and how drastically depleting groundwater\, habitat destruction and land acquisition for industry devastates biodiversity and shrinks common lands\, displacing millions and pushing species toward extinction. \nUsing still and moving images\, soundscapes\, longform narratives and art\, Kumar-Rao has crisscrossed the subcontinent for over a decade\, using hard-hitting stories to connect the dots between environmental destruction and the loss of innate resilience in the face of a deepening climate crisis. Her first book\, Marginlands: India’s Landscapes on the Brink encapsulates her work thus far on these themes. Marginlands was shortlisted for best first book in the non-fiction category at TataLitLive! Awards 2023\, and longlisted for non-fiction at AttaGalatta Bangalore LitFest Awards 2023. Most recently\, Kumar-Rao was included as a climate pioneer on the BBC’s 100 Women list for 2023. \nHer work has appeared in National Geographic magazine\, Emergence magazine\, The Guardian\, The Hindustan Times\, Mint and BBC Outside Source\, among other outlets.

Her work also focuses on environmental contaminant histories in ice cores from the Canadian high Arctic and the water towers of the Canadian Rockies. She will discuss her work and experiences of long months living in tents — and the stories ice cores can tell us — as part of the Chautauqua Lecture Series week with National Geographic on “Water: Crisis\, Beauty and Necessity.” \nCriscitiello is the founder and co-director of Girls on Ice Canada and assistant professor and director of the Canadian Ice Core Lab at University of Alberta. In 2010\, she led the first all-women’s ascent of Lingsarmo\, a 22\,818-foot peak in the Indian Himalaya. As part of Perpetual Planet Expeditions –– a partnership between National Geographic Society and Rolex to support science-based expeditions to explore\, study and document change in the planet’s most unique regions –– Criscitiello led two expeditions to Mount Logan\, Canada’s highest mountain. In 2021\, Criscitiello anchored an all-female team of scientists to install the highest weather station in North America near the mountain’s peak. She returned to Mount Logan in 2022 to successfully retrieve a record-breaking 1\,072-foot long ice core that could contain one of the most important climate records on the continent –– including past temperature\, nearby sea surface conditions\, volcanic ash fallout\, and wildfire history –– and will shed light on how climate change impacts even the world’s highest peaks. \nCriscitiello has received three American Alpine Club climbing awards\, the John Lauchlan and Mugs Stump alpine climbing awards\, and she earned the first PhD in glaciology ever conferred by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

At Andromède Océanologie\, which is dedicated to the study\, restoration and valorization of marine ecosystems\, Ballesta is co-director and leads the Gombessa Expeditions — underwater explorations that aim to discover the marine world and to unite a large audience around a triple challenge: solving a scientific mystery\, carrying out extreme dives\, and collecting new and unique images. To close the week on “Water: Crisis\, Beauty and Necessity — A Week in Partnership with National Geographic\,” Ballesta will discuss and share photographs from these explorations — from the first images of the elusive\, ancient deep-sea coelacanth taken by a diver at a depth of 120 meters; to ones of unprecedented dives beneath pack ice and the very first naturalistic images of the Antarctica’s deep-sea ecosystems. \nIn July 2019\, Ballesta achieved a world first by successfully combining the empirical means of off-shore saturation diving with the modern techniques of scuba diving. He and three other divers spent 28 days 100 meters underwater in a system of pressurized units called a bathyal station\, exploring the zone between 60 meters and 140 meters underwater along the coast from Marseille to Monaco. Two years later\, he repeated the experience for 20 days off the coast of Corsica to uncover the mystery of the giant rings of the Mediterranean\, seeking to understand the origin of the unique formation 120 meters under the sea. \nBallesta is a six-time winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year\, awarded by the National Museum of London. In the past 40 years of the competition\, he is the first photographer to receive the Grand Title twice\, in 2021 and 2023.

She’s instantly catapulted into celebrity\, heralded for her “inspirational” role as the first Black ballerina in the famed company’s history. Even as she celebrates the achievement of a lifelong dream\, Cece remains haunted by the feeling that she doesn’t belong. As she waits for some feeling of rightness that doesn’t arrive\, she begins to unravel the loose threads of her past — an absent father\, a pragmatic mother who dismisses Cece’s ambitions\, and a missing older brother who stoked her childhood love of ballet but disappeared to deal with his own demons. \nSoon after her promotion\, Cece is faced with a choice that has the potential to derail her career and shatter the life she’s cultivated for herself\, sending her on a pilgrimage to both find her brother and reclaim the parts of herself lost in the grinding machinery of the traditional ballet world. \nWritten with spellbinding beauty and ballet’s precise structure\, Nicole Cuffy’s debut novel Dances centers around women\, art and power\, and how we come to define freedom for ourselves. \nNicole Cuffy is a D.C.-based writer with a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and an MFA from The New School. She is a lecturer at the University of Maryland and American University\, and her work can be found in Mason’s Road\, The Master’s Review Volume VI (curated by Roxane Gay)\, Chautauqua\, and Blue Mesa Review.
