A Zoom full of creative people

Henrik Nordahl

Sitka Resident Talks are an opportunity for the community to learn about the artists and scientists working in residence at the Sitka Center for Art and Ecology, located at Cascade Head just north of Lincoln City.

During 10-minute online presentations on Thursday, Nov. 30, you will meet:

• Rasha Abdulhadi, a poet, and speculative fiction writer and editor. A queer Palestinian Southerner, Abdulhadi is a member of Muslims for Just Futures, the Radius of Arab American Writers, and Alternate ROOTS.

• Henrik Nordahl, a multidisciplinary artist from Oslo, Norway working with abstract sculptures and installations made of materials sourced from the street and hardware stores.

• Sascha Rose, a Haitian-American femme who connects ancestry and sense of place with heavily reverberated guitar into heartfelt melodies. She bridges the ambient, indie, and soul into genre-bending songs.

• Catherine Margaret Webb, a visual artist and a recent graduate of Yale University, where she double majored in Art and Environmental Justice. Catherine grew up in Southern California and is a member of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma.

• Adam Swanson, who daylights as a suicide-prevention policy advocate and lives as a writer, editor and artist. He has served on the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline’s Lived Experience Advisory Committee, and currently works as a coach for The College of Behavioral Health Leadership’s Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program.

The talks begin via Zoom at 4 pm. For more information and the event link, go to sitkacenter.org or call 541-994-5485.
