His talk will focus on St. Peter today as well as the current planning and future trends. Time is reserved for questions. The basis for the talk is Prafke's weekly column on the city's website called "Makes Me Wonder.” Cost is $9 for the public; however, Gustavus faculty, staff, and students are admitted without charge.

Darfur Genocide Addressed... Tonight (Thursday, Feb. 12), 7-9 p.m., Dr. Ashis Brahma, doctor to Darfur refugees, will speak in Wallenberg Auditorium, Nobel Hall of Science, on the continuing genocide in Darfur, focusing on public policy, health, and the refugee crisis. His talk, “Darfur: Taking a Stand against Genocide,” is sponsored by the University of Minnesota's Center for Holocaust Studies and Gustavus's Community Service Center.
     Dr. Brahma is a Dutch physician who has worked as the sole doctor at the Oure Cassoni camp in Chad caring for 27,000 Darfur refugees forced from their homes in Sudan. More than 400,000 people in the Darfur region of Sudan have died due to the violence that began in 2003. Another 2 million have been forced into primitive refugee camps, like the one at Oure Cassoni, where starvation, malnutrition, and disease are now creating "genocide by attrition" and where deprivation and physical attacks, especially against women, are common.

New Exhibitions in Hillstrom Museum... The Hillstrom Museum of Art presents two new exhibitions. Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art and Fortune: Photos of China by Priscilla Briggs, both on view from Feb. 16 through April 19, with an opening reception from 7 to 9 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 16. Fortune: Photos of China by Priscilla Briggs features large-scale photographs by Briggs, who has been a member of the art department at Gustavus Adolphus College since 2003. The works in this exhibition are a product of her travels in China in 2008 and 2009. Her travel to China and the Museum’s exhibition of her works are supported by a prestigious McKnight Fellowship, the Minnesota Center for Photography, the Gamelin Endowment Fund of Gustavus Adolphus College, and a Research and Creativity Grant, also from the College. The exhibition is presented in conjunction with the Gustavus Global Insight program, which focuses this academic year on China. 
     Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art includes 42 works by six artists from different Native American groups across the United States. The aim of the exhibit is to support innovative, emerging artists who, while exploring their Native heritage, are engaged in work of a more experimental nature than what is generally thought of as "Native American art." The artists were chosen by a distinguished national jury that included Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a prominent artist, curator, educator, and activist who is a member of the Flathead Salish Nation. In conjunction with the exhibit, the Museum will host a public lecture by Smith, titled "A Survey of Contemporary American Indian Art," at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 8, in Wallenberg Auditorium, Nobel Hall of Science.  The lecture, which is free and open to the public, is presented with support from the College Lecture Series, the Women's Studies Program, the Department of Art and Art History, and the Ethel and Edgar Johnson Endowment for the Arts. Migrations is organized by the University of New Mexico Art Museum, Albuquerque, in collaboration with the Tamarind Institute, a division of the College of Fine Arts, UNM. Support for this project was provided by TREX (Traveling Exhibitions Program of the Museum of New Mexico), the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The appearance of Migrations at the Hillstrom Museum of Art is presented with assistance from the College's Diversity Center.

Transfiguration Speaker Contributes to Global Insight Program... Each year the Office of the Chaplains has invited a different guest—all of them former students who have gone into the ministry—to participate in the worship life of the College by delivering a series of “Transfiguration Talks” at daily and Sunday chapel services and meeting informally with students. The 22nd Transfiguration speaker is the Rev. Dr. Ted Zimmerman ’69, a faculty member at the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Hong Kong who will be in residence at Gustavus from Feb. 19 through Feb. 24. He will present five chapel talks (homilies on Feb. 19, 20, 23, and 24 and a Sunday sermon on Feb. 22), centering his homilies on the theme of “Mission in the 21st Century” with a focus on China and Hong Kong. Given his long service and experience in China, he also comes as a featured resource for the College’s Global Insight program on China.
     The child of Augustana Lutheran Church missionaries serving in Beijing, Zimmerman has spent much of his life in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. After graduating from Gustavus in 1969 he attended seminary at LTS Chicago and was ordained. After leading a church in Tennessee for six years, he served two congregations in Taipei, Taiwan, from 1980 to 1989 before returning to Minnesota for a Th.D. degree in New Testament studies at Luther Seminary. Receiving his degree in 1993, he and his family moved to Hong Kong, where he has taught New Testament and Greek at the Lutheran Theological Seminary there for the past 15 years and served as sacramental pastor in several congregations of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hong Kong.

'The Other Shore' Opens in Anderson Theatre... The Department of Theatre and Dance's contribution to this year's Global Insight on China will be performed on campus Feb. 19-22. The Other Shore, written in 1986 by Nobel prize-winner Gao Xingjian (and immediately banned by the Chinese government) is an expressionist exploration of conflict between society and the individual. The Gustavus production features impressive ensemble acting, lively dance movement, and amazing shadow puppetry. Take advantage—and encourage students to take advantage—of this rare opportunity to see a contemporary Chinese play. Performances are scheduled for Feb. 19, 20, and 21 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 22 at 2 p.m. at Anderson Theatre. Tickets are available at the SAO. For more information e-mail aseham@gustavus.edu.

Al Behrends (fine arts programs) and David Goldstein '08, executive director of the Arts Center of Saint Peter, are featured guests at a Continuing Education event scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 19, 7-8 p.m. in the Melva Lind Interpretive Center. Delve into the artistic realm with these two directors. Behrends will discuss the College’s vision for its arts program. Is the long tradition of the performing and visual arts at Gustavus changing? Goldstein will consider thriving arts in small communities. In times of economic retrenchment and constant budget cuts, small non-profits must find alternative ways to hang on, and he will shed light on what the Arts Center of Saint Peter is doing in stormy economic times and the impact a thriving arts center can have on small communities like St. Peter. Cost is $9 for the public; however, Gustavus faculty, staff, and students ar admitted without charge.
