This week on Artworks,
Yaël Ksanders visits a small town in southern Indiana where the fall festival is more than persimmon pudding and apple butter, it’s a time when the locals renew their commitment to preserving the heritage of their town.
Also on the program, modern video technology meets musical and dramatic conventions of both today and yesterday. This upcoming performance investigates the many facets of the female experience.
And we’ll explore more horizons of music and technology with the ukulele-wielding tUnE-yArDs.
