Harold Washington Library Center hosts a Women’s History Month art exhibit from March 1 to April 11; look for it on the 8th floor north wall upright and flat cases.
Witness the intricate beauty of the linoleum block prints of Inara Cedrins, in which natural forms intertwine with fragments of poetry. Cedrins is an international artist, author and translator who has mastered such diverse studies as Chinese ink painting in Beijing and thangka painting in Nepal, and taught creative writing in Latvia.
In celebration of Women's History Month, the artist will read her own poems and translations from her newly published Baltic Anthology of Contemporary Poetry, Three Books for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, at 6 p.m. March 6 at Harold Washington Library Center. Available on Amazon, A Baltic Anthology was published by the University of New Orleans Press, with her linoleum block prints as cover illustrations.
