After a 20-year war, the United States left Afghanistan. Political turmoil and civil unrest followed, leaving Americans wondering: what did we lose, what did we gain, and what was the cost? In a new, updated edition of Doug Stanton’s bestselling book Horse Soldiers, published for the 20th anniversary of 9/11, he talks with the three panelists NWS is bringing to the City Opera House stage: Jack Segal, retired US diplomat; Rahela Sidiqi, founder of an NGO for Afghan women’s rights; Shannon Spann DeBruyn, former intelligence officer; and Edris Fana, a local NMC graduate from Afghanistan who fled the Taliban as a child in 1994. Together, they will attempt to answer those pivotal questions, shining a light on history, global and local, as it unfolds before us. Join the conversation early from 5:30-6:15 EST for a “then to now” prelude lecture from Jack Segal, who made 40 visits to Afghanistan between 2002 and 2010 during his time with NATO. The panel discussion begins at 6:30 p.m. EST.

The October 1 Coffee @ Ten talk in Traverse City is with Patrick Earl Hammie, featured artists of Foreword: A Solo Exhibition by Patrick Earl Hammie. Patrick Earl Hammie is an American visual artist who examines personal and shared black diasporic experiences and offers stories that expand how we express notions of gender and race today. Through portraits and allegories, Hammie explores the complexities of identity, emotion, and family by layering existing histories with new narratives, navigating the tensions between feeling and knowledge, power and violence, vulnerability and tenderness. He works primarily with themes related to cultural identity, social justice, storytelling, and the body in visual culture.
