We’re happy to announce that the 5th Annual NICE Event on October 5 (6-8pm) will be at Hamilton County Artists’ Association‘s Birdie Gallery, located at 195 South 5th Street in Noblesville. The Birdie Gallery is at the corner of 5th and Cherry Streets, and there’s some street parking and a public parking lot next to Riverside Cemetery.
Join us for a fun-filled evening of folklore and fairy themed presentations of original creations inspired by our 2019 NICE project’s selected stories and passages! Doors open at 6pm; light refreshments served.
Each year, we encourage discussion of classic literature through a modern lens, and this year we looked at these four folklore stories and fairy tales:
- The Story of Hunahpú and Xbalanqué (in Popul Vuh, trans. Ximénez, c. 1700)
- The Little Mermaid (Hans Christian Anderson, 1836)
- The Ballad of Tam Lin (nd)
- Hansel and Gretel (The Brothers Grimm, 1812)
The workshops focused discussion on the original themes, which are usually somewhat darker than what we find in translations/retellings and films in popular culture over time.
Our presenters have created original artwork, poetry, prose, and music inspired by this year’s NICE project, and some presenters participated in our workshops earlier this year.
