35th Annual Westheimer Peace Symposium

Mon. and Tues., Sept. 29 and 30.... Wilmington College Peace Resource Center 50th Anniversary Event - The 35th annual Westheimer Peace Symposium under the theme, “Practicing Art, Practicing Abolition.” Focusing on nuclear abolition and the arts, this will be a two-day, hands-on, experiential symposium facilitated by artists to create awareness about the need to eliminate nuclear weapons as a means to achieving local, national and global justice and peace. The symposium will culminate with “Borrowed Landscape” on Sept. 30, at 7 p.m., at the Murphy Theatre in downtown Wilmington. Performed by actors and musicians from Cincinnati's concertnova collective, “Borrowed Landscape" is a radio play that “beautifully tells stories” about string instruments like a Hiroshima piano, a double bass from Poland and a surviving Stradivarius violin in Budapest.
