Active Minds: Somalia
2017-09-14 18:45 - 19:45 | Sam Gary Library, 2961 Roslyn St, Denver, CO, 80238, United States
Somalia’s history is a story of Colonialism yielding to authoritarianism dissolving into anarchy. Chaos has reigned since the early 1990’s with rampant wars between rival clans, with no functional government in charge. Severe famine prompted the United Nations and the U.S. to intervene in the 1990’s with decidedly mixed results. Lately, the Islamist extremist group Shabab has added another challenge to the mix. Join Active Minds as we examine Somalia’s troubled path and where it may be leading.

Baker Home Tour
2017-09-16 11:00 - 16:00 | CO
Inaugurated in 2013, the Baker Home Tour was established and supported by the Baker Historic Neighborhood Association (BHNA) to celebrate its history, invite others to experience Baker’s charm, and to support the local community. A portion of the proceeds is donated to DCIS at Fairmont (Elementary School).

About the Baker Historic District
Queen Anne architecture predominates the type of homes in the Baker Historic District. However, ours is an eclectic community and included among our homes are churches, schools, Denver Square, Dutch Colonial Revivals, Classical Revivals, Italianate, and a few new-fangled Craftsman Bungalows. Our homes bear unique ornamentation and front stoops for visiting with each other. Some of our more well known edifices are the landmark Mayan Theater, the magnificent gothic Fairmont (Elementary) School, the statuesque soaring ramparts of the First Avenue Presbyterian Church, the stone St. Peter & St. Mary Episcopalian Church topped with a Celtic-esque High Cross, the former First Free Methodist Church (1910) and the Venetian-inspired former Byers School (1902) (the latter two buildings having recently been converted into residences).
The Baker Historic District offers a vibrant spectrum of urban life. The eastern border, South Broadway, hosts a wide array of Denver’s exquisite restaurants and eclectic libation stops. Sample treats at a local bakery, enjoy hearty comfort bistro fare, or experience high dining at any of the neighborhood’s several eateries. Baker also features funky, one-of-a-kind shops, including a local ice creamery with an ever-changing assortment of flavors, coffee shops serving their own roasts, yoga and Pilates studios, tattoo artisans, the Mayan Theatre, and much more. Immediately to the neighborhood’s western border is the trendy Santa Fe Arts District, where one can visit farmers’ markets, restaurants, and galleries. Lastly, not-to-be-missed recreational paths (Cherry Creek and South Platte River trails) are available for outdoor enthusiasts to relish fun-in-the-sun activities.

film/Still: Contemporary Color
2017-09-20 19:00 - 21:00 | CO
Join The Still Museum for their second season of film/Still with Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, now at its newest location in Sloan’s Lake.

At every screening, you’ll enjoy beers on tap; a full selection of wines and handcrafted cocktails; and a comprehensive menu with service right to your seat.

Contemporary Color (Bill Ross, 2016, 97 minutes)
In summer 2015, legendary musician David Byrne staged an event at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, to celebrate the creativity of color guard: synchronized dance routines involving flags, rifles, and sabers, colloquially known as “the sport of the arts.” Byrne recruited performers Lucius; Nico Muhly and Ira Glass; Nelly Furtado; St. Vincent; Devonté Hynes; How To Dress Well; Zola Jesus; Money Mark + Ad-Rock; and tUnEyArDs to join him in creating original compositions to accompany ten color guard teams’ performances. The result is Contemporary Color, a bold and irrepressible snapshot of a one-of-a-kind live experience. “Color guards are…in my way of looking at them, a sophisticated folk art form that flies under the official cultural radar,” says Byrne, according to Slate.
