Museum of Boulder Listen Backs

Museum of Boulder 2205 Broadway, Boulder CO

The “Listen Backs” series invites public engagement with the oral histories of Colorado’s Black community. Attendees will dive deep and engage in thought-provoking dialogue around the Black experience in this predominantly White state. A community-based project called Proclaiming Colorado’s Black History will be more than two and a half years underway at the time Listen Backs begin and its namesake exhibit will be open for its two-year run. As part of this initiative, the predominantly Black team has been recording and digitizing over 25 original oral histories of Black Coloradoans conducted by the NAACP Boulder County’s Historian, Minister Glenda Strong Robinson. The Creative Director of Programs at the Museum of Boulder, Nyasha James-Davis, would like to bring these oral histories to life for the public with live events in which an audience listens to an oral history and then engages in a facilitated dialogue with prominent Black Coloradoans after its completion.

How can we learn from the history of energy development and commit to community oriented energy development?

Harlequin’s Gardens Class: Pollinators & the Plants They Love with Andrea Montoya

Harlequin's Gardens 4795 N. 26th St, Boulder, CO, United States

Colorado is home to at least 1000 Native Bees, scores of beetles, butterflies, dragon flies and more. But their numbers are declining, in large part because they have little or no access to the plants they love and need to survive. Learn what those plants are with insight into how and when to plant them so that the pollinating insects of Colorado have a chance to once again thrive. We will cover specific pollinating insects and flowering plants for both.
