The new Prized Writing collection is published, annual Thiebaud lecture is Thursday night, Shinkoskey concert and Human Rights Film Festival also on tap the same day. And theres still lots more to do. Unfortunately, today is the last day (for now) to see the Wayne Thiebaud exhibition at the Crocker Art Museum, which must close due to changes in Sacramento's status due to COVID restrictions. We hope the Crocker and all area museums can open again soon.</em></p> November 10, 2020 - 3:34pm Karen Michele Nikos /arts/weekender-prized-writing-film-series-thiebaud-lecture-and-more Human Rights Film Festival, Nobuntu, The Devil Makes Three, Ensemble Dal Niente, Igor Levit, Akram Khan Company - November 1-7 2018 /capital-culture-list/human-rights-film-festival-nobuntu-devil-makes-three-ensemble-dal-niente-igor <div class="align- url-embed"> <div class="responsive-embed"></div> </div> <p>Subscribe to the Capital Culture List on <strong><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/capital-culture-list/id1392895312?mt=2">iTunes</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/capital-culture-list?refid=stpr">Stitcher</a></strong>, <strong><a href="https://www.blubrry.com/capitalculturelist/">blubrry</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ixobl3w6ntgwjmpxzapmjgob4o4">Google Play Music</a></strong>.</p> October 28, 2018 - 6:19pm Soterios J Johnson /capital-culture-list/human-rights-film-festival-nobuntu-devil-makes-three-ensemble-dal-niente-igor 細細篇撞 Launches Digital Tool in Lebanon to Help Refugees Reclaim Right to Education /news/uc-davis-launches-digital-tool-lebanon-help-syrian-refugees-reclaim-right-education <section class="wysiwyg-feature-block "> <h3 class="wysiwyg-feature-block__title">World Refugee Day June 20 Facebook Live, 9 a.m. PDT&nbsp;</h3> <div class="wysiwyg-feature-block__body"> <p>To mark World Refugee Day, join Keith David Watenpaugh as he discusses Article 26 Backpack&nbsp;in a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IIEglobal/videos/10156376534733428/">Facebook Live event</a> from Beirut at 9 a.m. PDT on Wednesday, June 20.
