Cover Story

Dinosaurs in Antarctica?

We’ve all seen the movies: a serene tropi cal forest ruled by stealthy raptors and a menacing T-Rex as triceratops and brachiosauruses graze in lush plains nearby. And we see paleontologists digging for their remains in the heat and dirt of the American west. So we understand if the thought of dinosaurs in Antarctica is a little hard to fathom. Let us explain.

Antarctica wasn’t always a land of snow and ice with penguins teetering along its shores. Over 200 million years ago it was part of the supercontinent Gondwana – including parts of what we know as South America, Africa, Australia, the Indian subcon tinent and Arabia – and situated much closer to the tropical regions of the world, making the land that is now Antarctica a landscape of lush woodland where dinosaurs thrived. Dinosaurs of Antarctica at Cincin nati Museum Center beautifully recreates the forest landscape and surrounds you with fossils and casts

of never-before-seen dinosaurs.

As for the heat and dirt of a North American dig site, you won’t find that today. Instead, it’s an intimi dating stretch of ice and rock, as forbidding today as it was when the first Arctic explorers trekked across it over 100 years ago (you’ll meet some of them in the exhibition). Airplanes and helicopters help provide improved access and remove fossils while power tools help penetrate centuries of rock, but the dig isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s a cold, isolated landscape.

But 200 million years ago it was thundering with incredible dinosaurs unlike any you’ve ever seen.

See for yourself at Cincinnati Museum Center’s Dinosaurs of Antarctica, open through January 15, 2023. cincymuseum.org/dinosaurs-of-antarctica

Shen Yun Brings 5,000 Years to Cincinnati

Shen Yun, a New York-based company, was founded in 2006 by an impressive group of Chinese artists. Their dream was to create a renaissance for mankind’s most ancient heritage. Today, their wish has become an international phenomenon.

Shen Yun performs in 150 cities worldwide. With breathtaking dances, gorgeous costumes, live orchestra, and dynamic backdrops, this is a show brimming with themes of courage, hope, and triumph of good over evil. Shen Yun is the world’s only company depicting Chinese culture as it had been before it was nearly destroyed by decades of communist rule.

Each year, the company debuts a new lineup

of original music and choreography, ranging from classical Chinese dance to traditional ethnic and folk dance styles to theatrical depictions of beloved stories.

Shen Yun features hundreds of handmade costumes—showcasing apparel from China’s 5,000 years of history. Their exquisite colors blend seamlessly with the animated backdrops, instantly transporting the audience to another world. The animation also contains a few surprises, but those are best left for the performance.

Shen Yun Performing Arts will return to Aronoff Center for the Arts Jan. 28-29. Tickets: 844-4474697 and Shenyun.com/Cincinnati.

Jewish Cincinnati: A Photographic Record by J. Miles Wolf at Skirball Museum

In 2018, Cincinnati native J. Miles Wolf documented current, former, and now extinct places of worship in the Jewish community. With his new show at the Skirball Museum, Wolf extends his incisive exploration to a broader integration of the Jewish community within Cin cinnati, focusing on photographs that document Jewish contributions in all walks of life. Aligning with the 2021–2022 celebration of the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial, this exhibition affords the opportunity for Wolf to train his discerning lens on former places of business like the Krohn-Fech heimer Shoe Factory, the Fechheimer Brothers Company (still manufacturing uniforms in Cincin nati today), the Manischewitz matzo factory (first commercial matzo factory in America), Bloch Printing, and the American Israelite newspaper, to name a few.

Fifteen new images join the original eighteen from the 2018 exhibition, and the installation carries a new narrative address

ing the contributions of Jewish Cincinnatians in the spheres of business, civic life, social welfare, faith, the arts, healthcare, philanthropy, and popu lar culture. Wolf expands his reach to Northern Kentucky and the West Side, where several con gregations thrived during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Social clubs, sports venues, and the nation’s first Jewish hospital are also documented in Wolf’s signature photographs that combine historical images, carefully culled from local archives, with city views that capture the here and now of these locales.

Jewish Cincinnati:A Photographic Record by J. Miles Wolf is part of the 2022 FotoFocus Biennial. Support provided by FotoFocus and the Jewish Cincinnati Bicentennial. The exhibition opens with a reception and artist’s talk on October 27 at 5:30 pm and will run through January 29, 2023.

Freedom Center offers free admission on fifth and third Sundays each month

Museums have the power to shape and reflect their communities, mak ing organizations like the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center com munity anchors and conveners of dialogue. They provide insight and perspective into our shared history, providing lessons from the past that are priceless in our ongoing quest for equity. Further, the Freedom Center creates a collective heritage, a more complete history that unites our local and national community. Access to the Freedom Center and its galleries equips a new genera tion of freedom seekers and advocates with the education and resources needed to make positive personal and collective impact.

That’s why the Freedom Center, with the sup port of the Fifth Third Foundation, created Fifth Third Community Days – free admission on the fifth and third Sunday each month, plus MLK Day and Juneteenth, through 2026. The free admis

sion includes special exhibitions and community programming that enhances the visit.

“Our Fifth Third Community Days are trans formative for our community,” said Woodrow Keown, Jr., president and COO of the National Un derground Railroad Freedom Center. “Fifth Third Foundation’s support provides opportunities for more people to learn about freedom through an immersive experience at the Freedom Center. In the process, we can create more advocates for equity and bring about meaningful social justice change by inspiring future generations of freedom seekers.”

Upcoming Fifth Third Community Days include October 16 & 30, November 20 and December 18.
