Lorna Brown joined Wake Up Tri-Counties to talk about the upcoming 35th Anniversary Quilt Show in Bishop Hill this weekend. Quilters and art enthusiasts can now explore the 2025 Bishop Hill Quilt Show at the Bishop Hill Colony School in Bishop Hill. The event celebrates the 35th anniversary of the Bishop Hill Quilt Show, which takes place May 16th through 18th. The main display, featuring a diverse array of quilts, will be at the Colony School. Admission to Colony School is $5, with doors open Friday and Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 3 PM. On Friday, attendees will select the winners from five categories. Each year, the Prairie Queen Quilt Club members select a charity to support by providing homemade quilts and part of the proceeds from the quilt show. This year, the group is supporting GROW Ministries in Cambridge, which provides shelter for women who are homeless or abused. This special exhibit is free to the public, though donations are appreciated, and will remain open throughout the month during regular hours at the Steeple Building Museum, located at 103 North Bishop Hill Street. The quilt show was started 35 years ago by Betty Robertson and Marilyn Nelson, who both owned and operated quilt shops in Bishop Hill in the mid-1980s. The Bishop Art Council helped sponsor the event until 1990, when the Prairie Queen Quilt Club branched out on its own.
The Bishop Hill Quilt Show is set to charm visitors once again from May 17th to 19th at the Colony School. This vibrant affair will showcase hundreds of quilts embracing this year's theme, "Rainbows, Rick Rack, and Roses." Attendees can explore a variety of quilting styles, including antique, miniature, patchwork, and appliqué. Admission is priced at $5.00. The Prairie Queen Quilt Club, with assistance from the Bishop Hill Heritage Association, also presents challenge quilts at the Steeple Building Museum. The Colony School opens its doors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and until 3 p.m. on Sunday. Lorna Brown is one of the organizers of the event and she joined Wake Up Tri-Counties on Tuesday with all the information about the Bishop Hill Quilt Show.

S3 E18: Traveling to Orkney with Lorna Brown “A trip to Orkney gives you the opportunity to look back in time: through both world wars, crofting, Norse and Neolithic eras. Locals say if you scratch the surface of Orkney, it bleeds archaeology. Venturing further back, the rugged landscape affords glimpses into the geological heritage that physically shaped our islands many millennia ago.” Lorna Brown, See Orkney Tours Welcome to Tea Toast & Trivia. Thank you for listening in. Join me as I travel across the ocean to Orkney, where the fresh sea air and rugged landscape captures the spirit of daring souls. I am delighted that I am meeting up once again with my friend, Lorna Brown of See Orkney Tours, who was our family’s intrepid guide through the mists of ancient Orkney. We touched the Standing Stones of Stenness and traced the prehistoric path of the Ring of Brodgar. The last time we met up with Lorna was on the white sandy beach that leads up to Skara Brae, a 5000-year-old Neolithic village. Skara Brae is the best-preserved Neolithic village in northern Europe, which offers a unique window into the lives of the farmers who lived there between 3,100 and 2,450 BC. In March 2021, I travelled virtually with Lorna back to the 19th and 20th century to see how farming continues to be a vital part of Orkney’s history and present-day activities. It was a sunny, winter day when we met up, perfect for our adventure. So, come back with us, fill up a thermos with hot tea and bundle up with a warm coat and walking shoes. Thank you for joining Lorna and me on Tea Toast & Trivia. A special thank you to you, Lorna for sharing the stories of Orkney and for promising to come back. Until then, dear listeners, you can meet up with her at See Orkney Tours. As the world continues to experience travel restrictions, it is good to know that we can still travel the world virtually, from our dining room tables. Until next time we meet, keep safe and be well.

Rendering Unconscious welcomes Professor Clint Burnham to the podcast! Clint Burnham is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada, where he also teaches theory and popular culture. https://sfu.academia.edu/ClintBurnham He is one of the facilitators of the Lacan Salon. https://www.lacansalon.com Follow Lacan Salon on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lacansalon/ His books include The Jamesonian Unconscious: The Aesthetics of Marxist Theory (1995), The Only Poetry that Matters: Reading the Kootenay School of Writing (2011), and the collections Digital Natives (2011, co-ed. with Lorna Brown) and From Text to Txting: New Media in the Classroom (2012, co-ed. with Paul Budra). His most recent book Does the Internet have an Unconscious? (2018) is both an introduction to the work of Slavoj Žižek and an investigation into how his work can be used to think about the digital present. Clint Burnham uniquely combines the German idealism, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and Marxist materialism found in Žižek's thought to understand how the Internet, social and new media, and digital cultural forms work in our lives and how their failure to work structures our pathologies and fantasies. He suggests that our failure to properly understand the digital is due to our lack of recognition of its political, aesthetic, and psycho-sexual elements. Mixing autobiographical passages with critical analysis, Burnham situates a Žižekian theory of digital culture in the lived human body. https://www.bloomsbury.com/author/clint-burnham/ Rendering Unconscious Podcast is hosted by Dr. Vanessa Sinclair, who interviews psychoanalysts, psychologists, scholars, creative arts therapists, writers, poets, philosophers, artists & other intellectuals about their process, world events, the current state of mental health care, politics, culture, the arts & more. http://www.renderingunconscious.org/about/ You can support Rendering Unconscious Podcast at our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl Vanessa Sinclair, Psy.D. is a psychoanalyst based Stockholm, who sees clients internationally, specializing in offering quality psychoanalytic treatment remotely and online.

Genevieve Robertson speaks to curator Lorna Brown about her works in the exhibition Spill including "Still Running Water" (2017), a video installation that follows the damned Columbia River from source to mouth. Robertson's practice is based on her long-term engagement of being on the shorelines of the West Kootenays, the Salish Sea and the Fraser and Columbia rivers, and the complexities of land and water in a time of large-scale industrial exploitation and climate precarity.
The artist Susan Schuppli speaks with curator Lorna Brown about her work "Nature Represents Itself" (2018) in the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery's Exhibition Spill.

In Momus: The Podcast's 7th episode, we have brought together a group of artists, curators, and scholars to update the conversation around Artist-Run Culture in Canada. It's a well-known history, one approaching legend, in this country: the emergence of artist-run centers seeking to address a lack of options for artist representation while forming a network across a vast geography; and then their professionalization, one approaching an institutionalization that mirrors the very thing they were made to contravene. Now, in a moment of large shifts across the arts sector, with a recent change to our country's funding models, and a refocusing of our social values on historically underrepresented groups, our relationship to a Canadian cultural legacy is up for renewal. Momus: The Podcast is Co-Produced and Co-Hosted by Sky Goodden and Lauren Wetmore. We would like to thank all our contributors to this episode: Caitlin Jones, Peter Morin, Peggy Gale, Sylvie Gilbert and Francois Dion; with thanks to Lorna Brown for her text. Momus: The Podcast is edited by Jacob Irish, features original music by Kyle McCrea, and assistant production from Mitra Shreeram. Season 1 of Momus: The Podcast is brought to you with the help of the Canada Council for the Arts “New Chapter” grant.”

Producer Mark Ryan talks with Lorna Brown: an author-writer from North Andover who has written several books and short stories. Her current book is entitled “Debris” and is available on Amazon under her pen name L.M. Brown. She also has a Facebook Page under L.M. Brown .
“Not waiting ’til tomorrow to do what you want to do — not being so afraid that you forget to live while you’re alive — that’s super important.” Lorna Brown left her London life behind and travelled the world documenting graffiti-covered buildings in words and watercolours for her forthcoming book, Painted Cities. In this interview she describes tracking down giant murals in Cairo and figuring out what was essential for creative fulfilment while skateboarding in Palestine. Her advice to other writers and artists: be aware that you can’t fake authenticity, and remember that none of us lives forever.
