Opening across Oklahoma Contemporary’s campus on Sept. 23, “La casa que nos inventamos: Contemporary Art From Guadalajara” provides an opportunity to consider how, since the 2000s, one city in Mexico has built upon its rich cultural history as the capital of the state of Jalisco to become a leading hub of contemporary architecture, design, cuisine, literature and visual art. In recent decades, the social and economic impact of culturally dynamic communities has been widely recognized, Oklahoma Contemporary Director Jeremiah Matthew Davis said. The exhibition “La casa que nos inventamos,” which translates to “The house that we invented,” reflects on and responds to place — to the rich and complicated history, present and future of a creative community. Guest curated by Viviana Kuri, director and chief curator of the Museo de Arte de Zapopan (MAZ), the exhibition features nearly 50 conceptual artworks — paintings, sculptures, installations, performances — created within the last decade by 19 visual artists from or living in Guadalajara. Featured in the survey are works by figures who rose to international prominence in the 2000s — Gonzalo Lebrija, Jose Dávila, Eduardo Sarabia, Francisco Ugarte — as well as by a generation of artists — Isa Carillo, Larissa Garza, Renata Petersen — who have gained greater attention in recent years. “After years of research, dialogue and exchange with the artists, galleries, institutions and collectors of Guadalajara, we’re thrilled to welcome this special group of artists to Oklahoma,” Davis said. Through focusing on one dynamic art scene across platforms, “La casa que nos inventamos” provides a moment to consider the many factors — strong art museums and schools, generous supporters and galleries, plentiful studios and See EXHIBIT, Page 2

As Sean (Councilman Cummings) said, that person would almost certainly win in the election should they have that advantage. “I’d like to keep the council out of what ever race develops for the Ward 3 seat next year,” said Wilkinson. “That doesn’t mean I or individual councilmen won’t endorse anyone who chooses to run. “I wanted someone who could hit the ground running, understands how the cities operate, understands the projects in front of us and wants to work with the council on the direction we’ve got the city headed - not against us.” City Manager Bruce Stone said Glover is highly knowledgeable and very familiar with The Village. “He is very familiar with city government in general and has experience on the Planning and Zoning Commission.“Thisisn’t the first time the council has had to appoint a person to fill a vacant seat,” he added. “It has happened numerous times over many decades.”

Esther Women announces speaker series
Esther Women, a monthly program tailored for women of faith led by former Miss America Jane Jayroe Gamble, is announcing its 20th season. The 2022-2023 speaker schedule includes state leaders, musicians, journalists and more. “The themes of the life of Queen Esther in the Old Testament continue to resonate today for Oklahoma women,” said Jayroe. “Just as this young woman of faith risked everything for others so long ago, God has a purpose for each season of our lives, as well. We bask in the assurance of a God who is involved in this time of life whether it’s on the mountaintop or in the dark valley, whether it’s defined by busyness or boredom. We were created for such a time as Estherthis.”Women luncheons are held in the Christian Life Center at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church, NW 14th St. and Harvey, in Oklahoma City from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Free and ample parking is available. All events will be held in person and via live streaming. A season pass or live streaming pass is required to view the program. A season pass is $225. Live streaming passes are free.
“Our sisterhood of women has extended throughout the state for twenty years and this year we’re able to offer the opportunity to join our online community at no cost so I’m hoping that distance will no longer keep anyone from enjoying these inspirational programs and beautiful connections with each other and our Creator,” Gamble said. 2022 - 2023 Speaker Schedule: Wednesday, September 7, 2022: Sister Rose Powers and Rev. Linda Harker Many of us strive to live a life for God, but for some, their lives are dedicated full-time to the work of HearingGod.from their stories will impact our own. Sister Mary Rose Powers from the Sisters of Mercy will talk about her 74 years of service as a nun in the Catholic tradition. Rev. Linda Harker is an ordained clergy in the United Methodist Church. She recently retired from her position as senior pastor at McFarlin UMC in Norman. Linda’s journey to ministry is a beautiful faith experience. Rev. Harker currently serves on staff part-time at St. Luke’s UMC. Wednesday, Oct. 5: Maestro Alexander Mickelthwate and OKC Philharmonic musicians God speaks to us in many ways, but His voice continues to be heard by some of the greatest composers of the world. The Maestro of the OKC Philharmonic and some of our remarkable professional musicians will share the divine sounds of the ages and how the work of the Holy Spirit has impacted culture for centuries through music.
Monday, Dec. 19: Annie Moses Band Sponsored by Mo Anderson. Individual tickets can be purchased for this event. The Annie Moses Band from Nashville is known as “The First Family of American Music.” They are an extraordinary group of musicians whose careers mirror their discipleship to follow Jesus. Trained as classical musicians at Julliard, the group changed direction to create their own unique Nashville musical sound that includes string instruments, singing, and creative arrangements that make up a 10-piece band. Their Oklahoma connection makes them a perfect choice for our Christmas special.
Wednesday, Nov. 2: Former Mayor Mick Cornett interviews Regina Tisdale Wayman Tisdale is one of the greatest basketball players to have been on the court at OU. Greater still was his smile and his positive influence. Wayman went on to the NBA, then a career as a jazz musician before dying too soon at an early age. His wife Regina tells the story of loss and survival to former Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett.

Oklahoma City Communication College is hosting a family-friendly, interactive exhibit that takes visitors on a journey through the entire spectrum of the rainbow. “A Colorful Dream” opened Sept. 1. “A Colorful Dream,” by contemporary fine art photographer Adrien Broom, features photographs detailing a young girl as she discovers a series of monochromatic fantasy worlds exploring the rich hues and associations that people have with colors. “We are excited to host Adrien Broom’s work here at OCCC,” said Lemuel Bardeguez, OCCC Director of Cultural Programs. “The colors in this exhibit are intense and stir emotions in the viewer, while at the same time, creating a space for all ages to enjoy the photography.”Broomisa contemporary fine art and commercial photographer living in Brooklyn, New York. Broom’s fine art photography often alludes to themes of childhood fantasy, using young women as protagonists. Her commercial work includes music, fashion, and portrait photography. To create the exhibit, Broom constructed eight individual sets composed of objects evoking the essence of each respective color. She then photographed a young girl exploring and traveling through each world, passing through small portals that lead her on a journey through a red world, then orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and lastly a rainbow encompassing all theThecolors.images were not put together using photo-editing software, but are the result of hours of hard work, so what the viewer sees is what was in front of the camera’s lens during the shoot.In addition to 40 photographic images, the exhibition includes timelapse videos showing the process of constructing the sets for the photographs, which offers insight into Broom’s creative process and the production required to bring these images to life.“AColorful Dream” runs through Oct. 20 in the Inasmuch Foundation Gallery inside OCCC’s Visual and Performing Arts Center. The exhibit is open Monday through Friday, 12 to 5 pm and by appointment. Call for reservations outside scheduled hours. Admission is free.

The title of this biography Path Lit by Lightning written by a twotime Pulitzer Prize winner, David Maraniss and is not just a description of Thorpe’s athletic skills. This title is the English translation of the Indian name his mother gave him which described the weather on the night of his birth when lightning flashed continually along the river bed. He and his twin, Charlie, were born into the Sac and Fox Nation and were inseparable in childhood until Charlie died from Typhoid Fever. This was the first of many devastating losses that Jim would have in his life. He was sent to Carlisle Indian School where his unbelievable skills, speed and natural abilities were early to develop. He excelled at every sport. In 1904 he was the star of the spring track season, set several school records, tied in the high jump and finished second in the shot put. He loved football but when asked his favorite sport he would always mischievously reply, “fishing and hunting.” He won Olympic gold medals at the Stockholm Olympics

in 1912 where he was praised by none other than King Gustav V of Sweden who referred to him as “the greatest athlete of all time.” This title remained with him although he was stripped of Stockholm medals because he had played some minor league baseball long before.Jimwas handsome, hearty, kind and through the years had many friends on whom he could call for financial or emotional support. Alcohol, broken marriages and financial problems followed him all of his days. Even when his death from a heart attack occurred, it resulted in a hassle over the funeral, burial site and reported grave robbers who hovered around with plans of causing damage. However dismal these times appeared, they revealed evidence of Jim’s loyalty and grace. From ballroom dancing to bit roles in movies, humor and goodwill were often at his side and he had many tales to tell. One such tale was when he was participating in a marathon in North Carolina with Shiso Kanakuri from Japan. The weather conditions were horrible and his friend left the track, went to the train station and went home. Kanakuri returned to finish the race in March 1972 when he was 72 years old with a recorded finishing time of “54 years, 246 days, 5 hours, 32 minutes and 20.3 seconds.” The record still stands.While at Carlisle he faced racist assimilationist politics “Kill the Indian. Save the man,” and other slurs, but he continued to love action and all sports, especially football which would hardly be recognized as the game it is today. This book is about more than trophies and records, however. One must read every page to get the feel for the development of sports, leagues, sportsmanship (and lack thereof), rivalries, three marriages, alcohol and financial difficulties. Four sons, four daughters, the full treatment. Fascinating. His life had all that makes a good movie, so leaning heavily on the support of his friends Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, he got one made with Burt Lancaster playing Thorpe. Incidentally, some of these stories Thorpe told himself gave questionable facts and were followed with the statement “which may or may not be true,” so enjoy the book, enjoy the life of Jim Thorpe and his fellow Oklahoma friends before he died of a heart attack in 1953 when age and whiskey got to him. The word is that David Maraniss himself will be stopping by Full Circle Bookstore to talk more about this incredible athlete, talented Native American and famous Oklahoman. It couldn’t get much better than this!Thanks to Full Circle for sharing books with FRIDAY readers

I attend The Village council meetings regularly, and sometimes, the reporter from your paper, Eric Oesch, sits at the end of the row I sit on often or the one behind me. We chatted on occasion, and he has answered many of my questions when I needed clarification.Hehasbeen nothing but polite, patient, and obliging when I asked something of him. He even connected me with an old friend that I hadn’t seen in years through his reporting and second job in Edmond.Itwasa long meeting, even after starting earlier since the time had changed from 7:30 to 6:30 pm a while back. There was a detailed agenda and folks were there to give their opinion of Airbnb’s (shortterm rentals given by one of the audience participants). I was surprised to see as many Village residents as possible that filled the benches of city hall. Mayor Wilkinson kept the meeting moving forward and did exercise the 3-minute limit of discussion time by one speaker so the audience would not be spending the night there.
In
A lot of information was dispensed, and many of the audience members had left, and the chamber population was shrinking. Bruce Stone, the city manager, was going over his regular report. Humdrum facts that the regulars expected.Atthis point, I need to share that I live close to Meeker Park and frequently discuss questions that pertain to the revamping of our park. It has been hard on our older children, who loved the tall slide, and I am always asking questions about the restoration of the slide or buying an equally tall Suddenly,one.the city manager, announces information about “Oklahoma’s Tallest Slide” which is a joke on me!!! He said it would take parachutes or zip lines to get back on the ground if a child elected not to use the slide! (It was a far taller slide than even I had imagined!)Itwasreally funny and brought humor to a profoundly serious council meeting. We all laughed and moved on, and I did not know until the meeting had concluded that Bruce had reacted to Eric’s questioning of my constant mention of the “tall slide,” and Eric had planted the seed for this funny item on the agenda. Bruce came to me directly and told me why this was included in his notes. We had a good laugh, and it was a reminder to not get too serious over everyday problems. Eric does an excellent job of reporting the news and adding a little humor along the way. Thank Eric for creating humorous moments and bringing laughter and some sunshine into our Village lives. It is much appreciated!
