*Clark Lunberry: Writing on Water*
Friday, November 10 at 2 PM
Lamar Dodd Building Room S160
Interdisciplinary artist Clark Lunberry will talk about creating site-specific poetry installations and introduce a new work for the UGA campus. Lunberry is a Professor of English at the University of North Florida and the author of Sites of Performance: Of Time and Memory (Anthem Press 2014) and Writing on Water | Writing on Air (University of North Florida 2016). His large-scale poems placed on water and windows include recent installations in Oxford, England; Paris, France; Toronto, Canada; Tokyo and Hiroshima, Japan; and Stanford University.
Lunberry will create a temporary installation at Lake Herrick, a prominent feature within Oconee Forest Park, which serves as a living laboratory for research in the natural and social sciences. The new work, viewable near the Boardwalk Trail bridge, coincides with a major restoration project at UGA aimed at promoting water quality and enhancing Lake Herrick as an amenity for experiential learning, research, and recreation. For more about the Lake Herrick Watershed Restoration visit http://sustainability.uga.edu/lakeherrick/.
Supported in part by the Helen S. Lanier Chair of the Department of English and ICE. For more about Clark Lunberry visit http://clarklunberry.weebly.com.

Elizabeth Rogers presents four distinct works addressing the body. Topolographies nos. 1-4: Works on the Body is an exploration of the making of a body. These works address the other side of quotidian movement, the impacts of language and sounding in the the making of the body, and the body as a site of subjectivity and singularity. Elizabeth is an artist based in Atlanta, GA where she also has a private practice specializing in Lacanian psychoanalysis. Her research interests revolve around the intersections of the practices of art, movement, and psychoanalysis.

6. Visiting artist: John Freyer
November 13 -16
https://willson.uga.edu/event/john-freyer-short-term-visiting-fellowship/
John Freyer's art is rooted in social practice, specifically the exchange of goods to encourage experience. In his latest project "Hot Coffee: Recovery Roast," Freyer has built a mobile coffee bike that moves across campus; encouraging conversations between community members. In an age of short text messages and emails, Freyer's work emphasizes face-to-face communication as community building and spaces for healthier individuals and families. He sees the local artisan as an integral aspect of community economic and social development.
Sponsored by a Willson Center Short Term Fellowship, the project will begin with students in both the Lamar Dodd School of Art and the College Recovery Center. Students will work with 1000 Faces Coffee to develop a blend reminiscent of the types of connections they long for, and specific to the UGA community. Students will then learn the art of communication and conversation from Freyer, through workshops and exercises he has developed to prepare them to drive the bike. Like an ancient tea ceremony, Freyer will train them in the art of the pour over. Students will then ride the bike around UGA campus for three days in various shifts, pursuing the art of the conversation.
Monday, November 13: John Freyer Lecture, Lamar Dodd School of Art, Rm. S151, 4:30 p.m.
Tuesday, November 14: Cupping at 1000 Faces Coffee, 585 Barber St., Athens, time TBD
Wednesday, November 15: Bike riding, North Campus/ Main Campus
Thursday, November 16: Bike riding, Arts Quad
Thursday, November 16: Free hot dinner, White Tiger, time TBD

8. Call for Participation: North Oconee River Project
North Oconee River Project is an interdisciplinary, student-led, grant-funded project that engages community members, artists, and legal experts in an effort to draft local legislation that grants legal personhood to the North Oconee River in Athens, GA. The project draws its inspiration from the Community Rights Movement that, for the past two decades, has worked to prevent corporate and governmental harm on the environment by helping pass locally enforceable "rights of nature" laws that treat natural entities, such as rivers, as having the right to be healthy and to thrive.
North Oconee River Project is seeking participants who are interested in assisting our team with any of the following activities:
- Representing North Oconee River Project by attending environmental events on campus and informing attendees about our project mission and upcoming events.
- Representing North Oconee River Project by attending community-organizing events in the Athens community and informing attendees about our project mission and upcoming events.
- Representing the North Oconee River Project by tabling at the West Broad and/or Athens Farmer's Markets. Involves providing people with information about our project mission and upcoming events.
- Distributing flyers on campus and at various businesses and community centers in Athens.
If you are interested in participating, please email Carla Cao: [log in to unmask]
Affiliated with the "Alliance for Arts + Rights of Nature" project funded by an a2ru Student Challenge Grant with additional support from Ideas for Creative Exploration (ICE), Watershed UGA, and the Willson Center for Humanities and Arts a2ru Research Cluster.
