Turtle Wisdom: Personal, Political, Playful

Artist Talk by Betty LaDuke

Wednesday, February 19, 5:30 p.m., West Wing Reading Room, Barber Library, COCC Bend Campus
For more than 60 years, LaDuke has traveled the globe as an artist and activist. In 2021, she began an artistic journey with her Turtle Wisdom pieces. Turtles became her symbolic storytellers, offering observations on current events. Each colorful, wood Turtle tells a story and has been created to invite conversation rather than provide answers.
LaDuke’s Turtle Wisdom exhibit will be on display at COCC’s Barber Library Rotunda from January 6 to March 25.
Barber Library is hosting an artist reception at 4:30 p.m. the same day in the Rotunda.
ASL interpretation will be provided.
FREE and OPEN to the public. Please register here to reserve a seat.

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025 – “Movie Night: Dirt Pride, The Approach and the Women Behind the Lens!” – Grab the popcorn friends – we are settling in for a cozy double-feature evening of the films “Dirt Pride” and “The Approach”. We’ll be celebrating the “transformative power of building queer community outside” and watching “the athleticism of BIPOC, women, and adaptive skiers & snowboarders on steep heli and backcountry lines in the wilds of Alaska.” We’ll have some film-makers and athletes present for a post-film panel Q&A. It should be the perfect closing evening to our speaker series, with inspiration for spring skiing/boarding and the upcoming biking season!
