ARTS & CULTURE

There’s an exhibit of new photographs of the city of Holyoke – taken through the lens of a 100-year-old camera. “Pictorially Speaking’ is now on display at the Wistariahurst Museum.

World-famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma has just wrapped up a week-long residency in western Massachusetts — called We The People — to explore America’s past, present, and future. As is his style, he brought together different musical genres and historical conversations in a setting not normally focused on current affairs: the classical music venue of Tanglewood.

We hear live music with Kimaya Diggs, check out the programming at Adams Theater, and find out about the vital grief support Rick's Place is providing in the 413.

Even professors of classic literature enjoy a night out at the movies, and when it comes to the retelling of one of the most famous Greek poems, no matter their opinion of Christopher Nolan's latest film, they agree — the conversation about ancient texts has never been hotter.

We visit artist Muriel 'Monik' Johnson's new exhibit at A.P.E. Gallery, we check out the Miles for Music fundraiser that supports the local music scene, and McGovern with Rep. Jim McGovern.

We take a visit to Just Roots farm in Greenfield, speak with High Five Books owner Lexi Wright, and explore pluralization with interim Word Nerd Peter Sokolowski.

We take a trip to Tanglewood to check out the festivities of Tanglewood on Parade.

We speak to author Jeff Chang about his biography of Bruce Lee, "Water, Mirror, Echo," and chat with Mr. Universe on federal funding to science.

Flyers advertising services, concerts and lost pets have long been part of urban culture. That's despite ordinances banning them. In Northampton, Massachusetts, a tension has been brewing in the last few months around its no-posting ordinance established in the 1970s. There's a movement to change it.

We have Live Music Friday with Gina Coleman who also talks about the brand-new Williamstown Blues and Roots Festival, learn about the Midwifery Exchange in Ghana fundraiser, and visit State Street Fruit Store for a Wine Thunderdome.
