The Creation of Me DECEMBER 8, 2018 - MARCH 10, 2019
A three-month art project challenged students from Brooks Academy of Science and Engineering to take on the complicated and nuanced theme of identity. The UTSA Institute of Texan Cultures has collaborated with Brooks to show the results of this project as the next student exhibit, "The Creation of Me." Through interviews with parents, grandparents and other family members, students uncovered stories about their heritage and developed an understanding of their places in society. The exercise instilled a sense of pride in their pasts and their families. They discovered and defined who they are and where they come from. Using the dry point with Plexiglas process, students turned a family photo into a work of art. The institute will select from 46 pieces from student participants in grades 9 to 12.

Viva San Antonio: Celebrating our City DECEMBER 8, 2018 - MARCH 31, 2019
UTSA anthropology students have chosen to research tourism's role in San Antonio as a class project, evaluating its impact on local culture and in the construction of the community's collective memory. The class studies trends and impact of changes through the Alamo's evolving role in the city, Fiesta's emergence as an annual tradition, the construction and expansion of the San Antonio River Walk, HemisFair '68, and the city's projected growth. The students contend that the emergence of tourism industry may have created disparities in authenticity, as well as gender and ethnic representation. Institute of Texan Culture 801 E. Cesar E.

Temple Beth-El Book Club Discussion 10am FREE
Victoria Aarons, Ph.D. will lead a discussion of Phillip Roth's final work Nemesis in the Block Conference Center at Temple Beth-El. This discussion is part of Temple Beth-El's Bendiner Library Bagels and Books Club. In the "stifling heat of equatorial Newark," a terrifying epidemic is raging, threatening the children of the New Jersey city with maiming, paralysis, lifelong disability, and even death. This is the startling theme of Philip Roth’s wrenching new book: a wartime polio epidemic in the summer of 1944 and the effect it has on a closely knit, family-oriented Newark community and its children. Through this story runs the dark questions that haunt all four of Roth’s late short novels, how does the individual withstand the onslaught of circumstance? Victoria Aarons holds the O.R. & Eva Mitchell Endowed Chair in Literature at Trinity University, where she teaches courses on American Jewish and Holocaust literature. Nemesis is available on Amazon.com in digital and paper formats. Temple Beth-El 211 Belknap 210-733-9135
