4 PM Radio Something: Valerie Richardson

at 4:30 p.m. Winfred Rembert and Vivian Ducat: Winfred is a New Haven artist who is originally from Georgia. As a young boy in the 1940s and 50s, he missed much of his schooling because he had to join his family in the cotton fields to help earn a meagre living. He became active in the civil rights movement in the early 1960s and narrowly avoided being lynched. Ending up in prison, he learned to tool leather and after moving to Connecticut used this craft to begin making beautifully designed narrative paintings that tell the story of his youth. His life story and the story of his growing fame as an artist are told in a new documentary, “All Me,” which was created by Vivian Ducat. It will be shown in New Haven on June 24th at 3 p.m. as part of the Arts and Ideas Festival.

at 6:00 p.m. Emily Bernard talks about her new book “Carl Van Vechten and the Harlem Renaissance: A Portrait in Black and White.” Van Vechten, a white midwesterner, became an arts critic in New York in the early 20th century and developed a passion for the culture and society of the Harlem Renaissance. As a novelist and later a photographer, he developed deep relationships with such notables as Langston Hughes and Ethel Waters and dozens more. His archives are at Yale.

Welcome to this week’s edition of the White Rose Political Calendar. The calendar takes its name from the White Rose, a resistance group in Nazi Germany that worked to educate and organize opposition to the horrifying agenda of the Third Reich. In the spirit of the White Rose, WPKN offers its weekly Political Calendar in order to give voice to the struggles for political, social, economic and environmental justice.

Here are the listings for the week of May 14, 2012.

On Tuesday, May 15 from 5:30- 7:30 p.m., Meet Your Greens! at It’s Only Natural restaurant, 336 Main St., Middletown. Join us for green networking & a presentation by Slow Food Shoreline, a local chapter of the national non-profit organization Slow Food USA. The event is free, but not the drinks. For more info call 860.346.9210.

As a local chapter it invites members and the greater community to taste, celebrate, and champion the foods and food traditions of the Connecticut Shoreline.

In order to carry out the Slow Food mission, SFS offers educational events and activities to promote sustainability and biodiversity.

Slow Food’s mission is to promote Good food that is delicious and created with care from healthy plants and animals; Clean food that is nutritious and grown and harvested in ways which have a positive impact on the planet; and Fair food that is accessible to all, regardless of income.

On Wednesday, May 16 from 6-8 p.m., New Haven Green Drinks meets at Sitar Restaurant, 45 Grove Street, New Haven. Speaking at 7pm will be Marydale DeBor, JD- a Board of Directors member of New England Farmers Union + an independent consultant advising on integrating wholesome, nurturing food service into institutions’ mission-based operations. The event is free, but not the drinks.

Marydale will be talking about the importance of “reforming” institutional- in particular health care- food service systems. The model she created is known as Plow to Plate:  http://www.plowtoplate.org/home.html

Sitar will be having happy hour specials, including wonderful mango lassi (alcoholic or non-alcoholic), Indian wine, a full bar, as well as, some sampling plates of Sitar’s delicious food for New Haven Green Drinks. A special thanks to our host Inderjit + his newly renovated restaurant!

Now Through Nov. 30, from 10:00am – 5:00pm, an exhibit called Big Food: Health, Culture and the Evolution of Eating is at theYale Peabody Museum of Natural History. Food is fundamental to life. Yet, our eating habits have become incredibly complex, involving many aspects of daily life far beyond addressing simple nutritional needs. Our world is characterized by environments that promote increased consumption of unhealthy food and sedentary lifestyles; over-nutrition and obesity now surpass under-nourishment as the world’s leading food and nutrition problem. Through this multi-media exhibit, visitors will explore all aspects of the challenge that faces us in the 21st century. Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Foundation. Free to Yale-affiliated individuals, otherwise admission is charged. The museum is at 170 Whitney Avenue, New Haven.
