SUMMARY:You Are Here
DESCRIPTION:Stop by the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library to explore its latest exhibit You Are Here. \nYou Are Here explores the unique relationship between regional and global transit maps and the socio-cultural identity of their subjects. Transit maps can be utilitarian\, functioning as navigational tools\, but they can also be aspirational\, signs of cities and nations attempting to shift perceptions of their identity. The individual maps in this exhibition serve as a window into the histories of the places they represent as well as the history of transit cartography as a whole. With a wider view\, the evolution of transit maps demonstrates how a transportation system can become synonymous with a city or nation’s identity\, reflecting its change over time\, spearheading cartographic innovations\, or reifying an entirely new vision for space and place. \nYou Are Here is on view until February 2027. The AGSL is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

SUMMARY:Bird of Hope for Peace
DESCRIPTION:Eva Petrič’s Bird of Hope for Peace (2023-2025) is a bird woven from 1\,000 lace roses crafted by artisans in 11 countries. The expansive\, colorful artwork aims to convey a message unity\, reminding the viewer that hope is what carries peace forward. The bird is on display now through Nov. 19 in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons near the Grind Coffee Shop on the first floor of the Golda Meir Library. \nPetrič gathered the individual lace roses and laid them on the grounds of a former Nazi concentration camp located along the Slovenian-Austrian border. As she arranged the lace\, the shape of a bird emerged\, and she brought them together into the Bird of Hope for Peace. The bird was first presented at the 2025 Idrija Lace Festival in Idrija\, Slovenia. It then journeyed to Vienna\, Austria\, New York City\, and\, most recently\, Milwaukee City Hall. The Bird of Hope for Peace‘s display in Milwaukee was made possible through a partnership between Petrič and the Milwaukee Slovenian Arts Council\, Milwaukee’s Department of City Development\, and the International Institute of Wisconsin. Next\, the bird will be shown at the International Institute of Wisconsin’s Holiday Folk Fair at the Wisconsin State Fair Park from Nov. 20 to Nov. 22. \nThe artwork is free to view and open to the public. Bird of Hope for Peace can be viewed from both inside and outside the Golda Meir Library.

SUMMARY:LACUSL Speaker Series Presents Beto Torrens
DESCRIPTION:Bomba Bambulaé: A Community-Building Tool from Puerto Rico\nIn this presentation – which is part of the LACUSL (Latin American\, Caribbean\, and U.S. Latinx Studies) Speaker Series – Grammy Award-winning musician and UWM graduate student Beto Torrens will speak about his decades of cultural artistry working in the tradition of Puerto Rican Bomba. Bomba is Puerto Rico’s oldest living musical tradition: it was created by our enslaved African ancestors to create communities of support between the various ethnic groups that were forced to live together in the “hacienda’s” slave barracks. Because Bomba is a living language\, it is in a constant evolutionary process. \nBeto Torrens is a Grammy Award musician\, producer and educator from San Juan\, Puerto Rico. With a career that spans over 30 years professionally\, Beto’s main interest is in creating bridges between Afro-diasporic music and dance traditions from the Caribbean and the Americas. He is currently pursuing an MA in music here at UW-Milwaukee. \nThis event will take place on Oct. 22 from 2:30-3:30 p.m. in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library.

SUMMARY:Searching for Beer Ghosts in Archives\, Cemeteries\, Fields\, and Forests: A Lecture Presented by Archives and Special Collections
DESCRIPTION:Water\, malt\, yeast\, and hops: these are essential ingredients of beer. Hops\, specifically\, play an outsized role in determining its flavor and aroma. \nIn her new book\, Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women Who Grew Them\, Jennifer Jordan takes us back to a brief but pivotal moment in the 19th century when Wisconsin produced much of the hops grown in the U.S. \nThose hops are not the only ghosts in Jordan’s story; haunting her book’s pages are the young women whose harvest work was key to the American beer industry’s rise. Jordan excavates archival materials and physical landscapes to investigate histories that may not always be immediately visible. \nJoin the Archives and Special Collections Department as they present this lecture by Professor Jennifer Jordan in the American Geographical Society Library on the third floor in the east wing of the Golda Meir Library on Oct. 29 from 3-4 p.m. \n\nJennifer Jordan is a professor of sociology\, urban studies\, and history at the University of Wisconsin\, Milwaukee. She is the author of Beer Ghosts: In Search of Lost Hops and the Women who Grew Them (University of Chicago Press\, 2026)\, Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and other Forgotten Foods (University of Chicago Press\, 2015) and Structures of Memory: Understanding Urban Change in Berlin and Beyond (Stanford University Press\, 2006).
