SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Lighthouse (2019)
DESCRIPTION:Get into the Halloween spirit with a screening of The Lighthouse\, directed by Robert Eggers. \nWatch as two lighthouse keepers try to maintain their sanity while living on a remote and mysterious New England island in the 1890s. This screening is held in conjunction with the special exhibition\, A Ballard Story: Pacific Fishermen\, which explores the history and evolution of Seattle’s maritime industry. \nAs the wavering cry of the foghorn fills the air\, the taciturn former lumberjack\, Ephraim Winslow\, and the grizzled lighthouse keeper\, Thomas Wake\, set foot in a secluded and perpetually grey islet off the coast of late-19th-century New England.

SUMMARY:Viking Blood: Premodern Scandinavia and Thereafter
DESCRIPTION:What did blood mean to the Vikings\, and what work did (and does) it do? This lecture will follow blood’s paths in epic and praise poetry\, sagas\, learned literature\, and art from the Scandinavian Middle Ages. \nIt is perhaps no surprise that blood was a powerful medium in Viking Age and Medieval Scandinavia. Blood has remarkable physical properties—its colors\, temperatures\, smells\, tastes\, and consistencies are unique and strange—and a deep connection to human and animal life and death.  \nBlood flows through ancient epic and religious texts\, western medieval medicine\, Iberian canon law\, pre-Columbian art\, Hawai’ian sacrificial ritual\, American slave markets\, and contemporary practices from adoption and blood donation to street protest. \nIts traces connect the apparently disparate domains of kinship\, sacrifice and war\, testimony to its oceanic quality. But blood also divides\, between killer and victim\, animal and human; and encloses\, most notoriously in the case of religious communities. \nBy the fifteenth century\, blood had begun its grim career as a signifier of a distinction among people\, that of race. The lecture will conclude by touching on its role in twentieth-century racist and antifeminist ideas about medieval Scandinavia\, and in our own ideas of “the Viking.”

SUMMARY:Two Cities\, One Industry: Big Tech\, Power\, and Politics in Seattle and San Francisco
DESCRIPTION:Seattle and San Francisco have shaped the modern tech industry\, but they’ve also transformed politics\, housing\, culture\, and civic life. How did two very different cities become the twin capitals of tech\, and where do they go from here? \nFeaturing historian Margaret O’Mara (author of The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America)\, GeekWire’s John Cook\, and journalist Jonathan Weber (author of City on the Edge: Technology\, Politics\, and the Fight for the Soul of San Francisco)\, the conversation will explore how these two distinct cities became the twin capitals of tech—and how the relationship between Big Tech and the local governments that host it continues to evolve.\nRecorded live for both podcasts\, the discussion will be hosted by Blue City Blues co-hosts\, political consultant Sandeep Kaushik and journalist David Hyde.

SUMMARY:Nordic Innovation Series | Feminist Economics: The Hidden Value of Care
DESCRIPTION:Join one of the Nordic’s sharpest and most widely read young voices out for a talk on the true cost of care work.\nFor centuries this has been written off as “women’s work”: essential\, invisible\, and unpaid. Danish writer and feminist economist Emma Holten exposes a fundamental flaw in our value and economic systems\, designed centuries ago to overlook care work.\nWhat is caregiving really worth in the “happiest countries on earth”\, and worldwide?\nHolten’s international bestseller Deficit: The Hidden Value of Care reveals how the economic models that drive political decisions today are just as flawed\, giving us unparalleled monetary wealth\, but causing deep social harms.\nThe talk is followed by audience Q&A.

SUMMARY:Moomin Movie Night: Tove (2020)
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, we’re hosting a series of Moomin Movie Nights inspired by our current special exhibitions\, Moomins’ Sea Adventures and Tove and the Sea. \nThe final film in the series is Tove (2020)\, a biopic on the life of Tove Jansson\, showing both her personal relationships\, and the creation of the popular Moomin books. \nAbout the Film\nHelsinki\, 1945. The end of the war brings a new sense of artistic and social freedom for painter Tove Jansson. Modern art\, dizzying parties and an open relationship with a married politician: Her unconventional life puts her at odds with her sculptor father’s strict ideals. Tove’s desire for liberty is put to the test when she meets theatre director Vivica Bandler. \nHer love for Vivica is electric and all-consuming but Tove begins to realise that the love she truly yearns has to be reciprocated. As she struggles with her personal life\, her creative endeavours take her in an unexpected direction. While focusing her artistic dreams on her painting\, the work that started as a side project\, the melancholic\, haunting tales she told scared children in bomb shelters\, rapidly takes on a life of its own. \nThe exploits of the Moomins\, infused with inspiration from her own life\, bring Tove international fame and financial freedom. There’s a daily comic strip\, a stage play and stories that continue to delight people around the world. But as she begins to find her artistic identity she has to learn to find herself. Her unrequited love for Vivica is preventing her true liberty and only by learning to break away from her can she truly be free. Tove is a captivating drama about the creative energy of an iconic talent and her turbulent search for identity\, desire\nand freedom.

SUMMARY:Community Yoga with Flood Yoga
DESCRIPTION:Start your Sunday morning with intention. \nThis Slow Flow class is a gently-paced vinyasa practice that invites you to move\, breathe\, and settle into your body — no experience necessary\, all levels welcome. \nSlow Flow sits in the sweet spot between active and easeful\, blending softness with strength. Expect a continuous\, fluid sequence of standing and seated poses\, linked with breath and held just long enough to find your foundation and fully arrive in each shape. This is a mindful\, accessible flow designed to move with intention rather than speed. We’ll close every session with a generous savasana so you leave feeling grounded and renewed. \nWhether you’ve never stepped on a mat or you’ve been practicing for years\, this class is designed to meet you exactly where you are. \nJoin Kate Holter\, founder and owner of Flood Yoga\, for three Sunday mornings this summer. We will be using the beautiful Osberg Great Hall and the Fisherman’s Sun Terrace for an indoor/outdoor yoga experience.
