SUMMARY:Postcards from Quebec: South & Central America
DESCRIPTION:  \nPostcards from Quebec – Cultural Fairs – South and Central America\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fifth event of the Postcards from Quebec series will take place at the Morrin Centre on January 28\, from 1 to 3 p.m.. Join us to enjoy music\, art\, and snacks from South and Central America\, as well as a concert and talk by Federico Tarazona! All activities are free. \nThe Charango and Andean Music\n \nIn Peru\, there’s a strong tradition related to the musical instrument known as the charango that goes far back in history. It’s a unique tradition making the charango\, without a doubt\, one of the most characteristic and popular musical instruments of Andean culture.\nThis concert and talk focuses on musical traditions of the Andes\, notably\, on the charango\, a string instrument most likely originally created according to and inspired by the 17th century Spanish baroque guitar. Federico Tarazona has created his own version of the instrument\, named hatun charango (grand charango)\, a new variant in the instrument family offering more possibilities than the traditional charango when it comes to harmonies and polyphony. \nRenowned for his exciting interpretation\, extraordinary technique and musical expression\, Federico Tarazona is considered one of the world’s finest Andean charango virtuosos\, and one of the most important South-American composers of his generation. \nClick here for the full programming \n  \nThis project is made possible thanks to the support of the Government of Canada and Québecor.

SUMMARY:Book Launch with Louisa Blair - Morrin Centre
DESCRIPTION:Library Lectures:\nBook Launch of The Calf With Two Heads\nby Louisa Blair\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the launch of Louisa Blair’s book The Calf With Two Heads on Thursday\, November 16 at 7 p.m.! \n\n\n\n\n“Wow! I’m impressed. Stop scrolling on your phones and have a look at this.” \n– Tomson Highway\, Cree playwright\, author\, musician \nThese beautifully illustrated stories of natural history in nineteenth-century Canada are about the curious men and women who crossed the oceans from Europe to explore\, map\, draw\, puzzle about\, collect and exhibit nature in Canada. Informed by French\, British and Indigenous naturalists\, they tried to understand what they saw. What did it all mean about the origins of the world? \nLouisa Blair\, an amateur naturalist in Quebec and a transatlantic species herself\, tells tales on Darwin\, Russell Wallace\, and James Cook\, and lingers on the strange and colourful details of Canada’s stubborn resistance to evolutionism and its first natural history museums with their penchant for deformities. These stories feature Indigenous mapmakers\, botanical artists\, bug-bitten rock fanatics\, arctic explorers\, and a trio of Quebec women who managed to get plants named after themselves. In short\, muddy boots\, cold hands\, a pocket full of fossils\, a mind full of existential questions. To make her case\, Louisa Blair has gathered a vast collection of vintage illustrations. Blair also salutes their successors\, the citizen scientists who are now frantically mapping Canada’s biodiversity before it fades to bio-monotony. What does it all mean for the end of the world? \nNOTE: This event will be hybrid.  \nRegister here! \nLouisa Blair is a writer\, editor and translator who was born in Quebec City\, raised in the UK\, and returned to live in Quebec 25 years ago. Her books in English include The Anglos: The Hidden Face of Quebec City and Iron Bars and Bookshelves: A History of the Morrin Centre. She has also translated numerous books and exhibitions about history\, culture and politics in Quebec. Her translation of Robert Lepage’s 887 (House of Anansi Press\, 2019) was nominated for a Governor General’s prize. Her exhibition on natural history in Quebec\, entitled Blossoms\, Beetles and Birds\, is on display at the Morrin Centre. \n  \n  \n \n  \nIn partnership with Baraka Books.
