SUMMARY:Los Trompos at Short Pump Town Center
DESCRIPTION:“Los Trompos” (“Spinning Tops” in Spanish) draws its inspiration from a toy that has been popular with children around the world since the dawn of time. This large-scale\, interactive artistic installation engages visitors in a way that is both meaningful and playful. \nLos Trompos features a set of larger-than-life\, three-dimensional spinning tops in a variety of colors and shapes. The colorful surfaces of each top are created in part by fabric woven in a traditional Mexican style. The fabric is stretched over the modules to seat several people at once. \nFunctioning as both artwork and rotating platform\, each sculpture acts as a gathering place for relaxation\, social interaction and entertainment. By working together to create momentum\, visitors can spin the tops on their bases. Through interaction and collaboration\, Los Trompos comes to life and gives new meaning to the art of play.

SUMMARY:The Half Life Launch with Rachel Beanland
DESCRIPTION:Local favorite Rachel is launching her next novel! She will be talking with Kevin Powers at VCU’s Cabell Library. \nEach ticket includes a signed copy of The Half Life! \nThere is a separate ticket for an online-only event\, since this will be broadcast from the library. Please see the separate event for that ticket if you cannot make it in person. \nAbout the Book:\nWhen twenty-three-year-old Eileen O’Malley meets charismatic naval officer Paul Archer in a Charleston department store\, she doesn’t expect to fall so hard\, so fast. But Paul is funny and ambitious\, and soon\, Eileen’s got a ring on her finger and is following him to the tiny\, sun-drenched Mediterranean island of La Maddalena\, where Paul will be heading up Radiological Controls aboard a submarine tender. \nIn La Maddalena\, Eileen joins a makeshift community of navy wives who are hell-bent on making the island feel a little more like home. But for Eileen\, whose brother died in Vietnam\, home is a loaded word\, and as she settles into life on the island—taking Italian lessons and learning to make culurgiones—she begins to love the place for all the ways it is not like where she comes from. \nStill\, it doesn’t take long for Eileen to be confronted with the complexities of being an American abroad. The decision to send nuclear-powered subs into the La Maddalena Archipelago was a contentious one\, and the U.S. government is doing whatever it can to ensure that the island—not to mention all of Italy—doesn’t go communist in the next election. \nWhen Italian activists and scientists begin to sound the alarm about possible nuclear contamination in the water\, the island erupts in a series of protests\, made worse by the ongoing mishaps of the U.S. Navy. Soon\, Eileen’s marriage falters and her loyalties begin to shift as she is drawn into a web of secrets—and to a local journalist who forces her to imagine a life beyond the one she’s been handed. \nAtmospheric\, sexy\, and quietly defiant\, The Half Life is a story of love\, complicity\, and awakening—of one woman forced to choose between loyalty to her husband and country and to the Italian locals who show her the high cost of American exceptionalism. \nAbout the Author:\nRachel Beanland is the author of The House Is on Fire and Florence Adler Swims Forever\, which won the National Jewish Book Award for Debut Fiction. She is a graduate of the University of South Carolina and earned her MFA in creative writing from Virginia Commonwealth University. She lives with her family in Richmond\, Virginia. \nKevin Powers was born and raised in Richmond\, Virginia. Since publishing his first novel in 2012\, his books have been translated into more than a dozen languages. He has been a finalist for the National Book Award and a recipient of the PEN/Hemingway Award\, the Guardian First Book Award\, the Prix littéraire du Monde prix étranger\, and the Grand Prix de Littérature Américaine\, among other recognitions. He was a James A. Michener Fellow in Poetry at the University of Texas at Austin from 2009-2012 and later held a Guggenheim Fellowship in Fiction. A U.S. Army veteran of the war in Iraq\, Kevin now lives on Florida’s First Coast with his family.

SUMMARY:Profs & Pints Richmond: Social Media to Social Reckoning
DESCRIPTION:Profs and Pints Richmond presents: “Social Media to Social Reckoning\,” a talk about how Big Tech social media platforms operate and affect our world\, with Caddie Alford\, leading digital rhetoric scholar\, associate professor of rhetoric\, and co-lead of the AI Futures Hub at Virginia Commonwealth University. \nLearn what social media platforms attempt to get us to think and feel\, and assess the impact that their algorithms are having on our social lives and democracy\, with Caddie Alford\, a scholar of persuasion vis-à-vis Big Tech’s power. \nApplying the ancient art of rhetoric to social media platforms and what’s billed as “artificial intelligence\,” she’ll offer insights on the beliefs held by AI company CEOs and on the changes that Elon Musk made to Twitter. She’ll discuss concepts like cyberlibertarianism\, technofascism\, and “data trauma\,” and she’ll call attention to the relationship between how we talk about social media and how we use it. If you started out “surfing the web” but now find yourself “doomscrolling\,” her talk will help you understand why. \nDr. Alford will shed light on the discrepancies between how Big Tech social media companies portray themselves and how they actually operate. No matter how much they characterize social media platforms as “ecosystems\,” the platforms’ true purpose is harvesting our data for shareholder value. \nWe’ll look at how the story of AI is deeply intertwined with the story of the internet\, and how the political agendas of Big Tech social media companies are actualized by the material realities of computing infrastructure\, contingent labor\, and other considerations. \nWe’ll close by discussing how social media users are pushing back at Big Tech and its justifications for its policies and agendas. (Advance tickets: $13.50 plus sales tax and processing fees. Doors: $17\, or $15 with a student ID. Listed time is for doors. The talk starts 30 minutes later.) \nAbout Profs & Pints:  \nDo you love to learn? Would you enjoy hearing scholars discuss fascinating topics in a setting where you can ask questions and be around people who share your interests? Profs and Pints is here for you!\n​\nProfs and Pints brings college faculty members into bars\, cafés\, company offices\, and other off-campus venues to share their knowledge. They speak on subjects of broad interest\, including local history\, their region’s environment\, emerging trends in business or politics\, and the ideas and innovations transforming our society and culture. In addition\, Profs and Pints instructors offer practical instruction that improves lives. They can teach skills such as how to write persuasively\, plant a garden\, tend to mind and body\, or plan for retirement.\n​\nProfs and Pints offers you all of this without asking that\nyou apply for admission\, pay steep tuition\, or worry about\nquizzes or grades. At most\, you might need to buy a\nmodestly priced ticket to get in the door. Depending on\nwhere the event is staged\, you may be able to order tasty\nbeers\, delicious meals\, or hot espresso to go with all of\nthat knowledge you’ll take in.\n​\nYou won’t earn college credits but you’ll leave knowing more.
