September 3, 2025: Book arts of the body

We’re learning more about the arts and culture of a diaspora at Springfield Museums for instance, where this Friday sees the third Latino Arts Festival. Featuring an exhibit on loan from the Museo de Ponce that itself delves into the sense of place and surrealism in Latin America, music, dance and more and we’ll chat with Museum director of Education Larissa Murray about the occasionWe’ll also find ourselves on a hilltop sequestered in a corner of Amherst College’s Campus. Book and Plow Farm was founded in the 2010s as an effort of the Student body and has provided those students with connection to the land ever since, and we’ll speak with assistant manager Kaylee Brow about the farm’s history and current direction at an institution with no direct coursework in her field. And Word Nerd Emily Brewster senior editor at Merriam-Webster is kicking Grey’s Anatomy to the curb and giving us better, less utilized words to describe the parts of our bodies and they’re all safe we promise!
