HANCOCK -- Keweenaw Now presents a new slide show, "Women and Water Rights II: Rivers of Regeneration," a group exhibition, now at the Finlandia University Gallery, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center, Hancock. We offer some photos as samples of the art and some of the artists who were present at the opening reception on Oct. 27, 2011.
Here is a video clip of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) musical ensemble from Minneapolis. The group invited members of the audience to participate with "maracas" made of recycled plastic water bottles.
