Join us at the World, along with over 150 theaters across the country, for a screening of 1984. On Tuesday, April 4th at 7pm.
This date was chosen because it’s the day George Orwell’s protagonist Winston Smith begins rebelling against his oppressive government by keeping a forbidden diary. Participants in this event strongly believe in supporting the NEA and the NEH and see any attempt to scuttle these programs as an attack on free speech and creative expression through entertainment. This event provides a chance for communities around the country to show their unity and have their voices heard.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with a panel of professionals from our community about the importance of the National Endowment for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities in our community:
Lorna Bracewell – Assistant Professor of Political Science at UNK, Former performing artist and CEO of Braced Well Music.
Judi Sickler – Executive Director of the Kearney Area Community Foundation. KACF manages more than $16.5 million in assets and oversees 200+ funds.
