Photographer Jila Nikpay will have her unique portrait exhibit “Faces of New America” at the Chanhassen Library for two months, February and March. She will speak about her work at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 26. Her traveling exhibit and talk are supported by Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Jila Nikpay says, “Through-out history, one function of portraiture bas been to affi rm or immortalize the authority and social status of its subjects. The portrait, representing the human face, can also mirror how we relate to others through our ‘cultural ideals.’ From this perspective, portraiture could be regarded as a complex site for exploring the relationship between identity and power. Possessing the freedom to cre-ate one’s identity is one of the fundamental characteristics of the American dream. Most of these youth could not exercise this right in their countries of origin because of the weight of tradition. Paradoxically, the same constraints are evident in their schools, due to peer pres-sure. To ‘fi t in’ and be accepted is one of the most important concerns for adolescents.

“This ‘battle for survival’ of the young immigrant manifests itself in these portraits in un-expected ways, expressing the youth’s imagination and desire to create their own world. It is this imaginative space that fas-cinates me and was the impetus in making visible their hidden self, creating a meta-story of

migration, global citizenship, and inter-connectedness.

“Every one of my subjects was presented with the question: Imagine your portrait is seen by a large number of people; how do you wish to present your identity? Weeks later, after they had been given time to consider these questions, they were pho-tographed. Their response to my simple question was revealed in their portrait, through their gaze, expression, and choice of clothes, expressing the desire to be accepted in their own terms. Visit www.jilanikpay.com to learn about my fi lms and pho-tography.”

Theship Rosales will have several of his unique sculptures on display at the Chanhassen Library through the month of February, as well. He is working with many types of materials, including metal, stone, glass and wood.

Golden Age of Radio - On Friday, Feb. 4, the Waconia branch of the Carver County Library will host a free perfor-mance of “The Golden Age of Radio” by vocalist Prudence Johnson and pianist Dan Ch-ouinard. The performance will begin at 7 p.m. at Waconia High School, 1400 Community Drive, Waconia. Johnson and Choui-nard are frequent guests on Na-tional Public Radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion.”

I interviewed Prudence John-son the singer for the event.

Q: Why do you love the mu-sic of this era?

A: The art of songwriting has changed a great deal since the 1930s and 40s. It has become much more about self-expres-sion, and things like rhyme and melody don’t matter as much as they did then. The good songs of the era were simple but well-crafted, catchy and sing-able, but so interesting in their structure that jazz musicians ever since have found unending possibili-

ties in expanding and improvis-ing on them. There were, and will always be, plenty of broken-hearted love songs, but in these two decades of very tough times, the Great Depression and World War II, most of the music is very uplifting, encouraging people to keep their chins up and appreci-ate the little pleasures. “Look for the Silver Lining,” “The Best Things in Life are Free,” “Pick Yourself Up”....they don’t write ‘em like that anymore.

Q: Why did you choose the songs you are using for this show?

A: The songs in The Golden Age of Radio were chosen for several different reasons. We started with the ones we know and like the best (which was a very long list) and narrowed it down to the ones which were best for the sing-along parts of the show, and the ones that best help advance our story, which is the story of the radio, it’s meteoric rise from a novelty to a household necessity, the role it played helping the country cope in these trying times, and some of the people who rose to stardom on the airwaves.

ReviewMinnesota Author Richard

Thompson will be speaking at the Chanhassen Library at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12. We have a book club in a bag kit for “Frag Box.” His newest book is called “Big Wheat” and should be out soon. Next week I will have a fascinat-ing interview with him.

“Frag Box,” by Richard A. Thompson.

Thompson (Fiddle Game, 2008) has penned a second book again featuring St. Paul Bail Bondsman Herman Jackson. Jackson gets involved in solv-ing the murder of one of his customers, a homeless Vietnam vet named Charlie Victor. It turns out Charlie named Her-man as his sole heir, leaving him his “frag box,” a pot of money. There are many com-plications- it seems there is a mobster interested in buying out Herman’s business; and there are several Secret Service agents after Charlie, who think his frag box money was to pay for an assassination. This book was a fi nalist in the 2010 Minne-sota Book Awards, and you can see why- it is a taut, engaging and moving book. The library also owns a book club in a bag for this title. Thompson lives in St. Paul.

The Chanhassen Library is located at 7711 Kerber Blvd. in Chanhassen. For more informa-tion, call (952) 227-1500 or go online at www.carverlib.org.
