Dr. James Inabinet continues on a decades-long journey to understand and articulate what it means to be human. His upcoming discussion at 100 Men Hall delves into his quest.
What: “Becoming Fully Human”
Where: Tin Shed porch, 100 Men Hall, 303 Union Street, Bay Saint Louis, MS When: Friday, April 23, 7–8:30 pm Open to the Public Free, but more event info here.
In April, 2021, Dr. Inabinet left his wilderness classroom to engage in a month-long residency at the Tin Shed to study three diverse organizations – 100 Men Hall, St. Rose de Lima Catholic Church, and Christ Episcopal Church, and their locations on the Gulf Coast – each place the product of varying amounts of development. His research was made possible by a grant from the Mississippi Humanities Council, through support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The purpose of Dr. Inabinet’s study is to observe past and current activities, especially as it pertains to the ecological relationship between humans and place. Rachel Dangermond, Director of the 100 Men Hall, will interview Dr. Inabinet about his research. Afterward, he will do an exercise to help ground the audience in understanding how to move into an intimate relationship with their own place and how to feel its feelings as they do their own. In addition, Dr. Inabinet has created paintings and poetry to further describe the process of his research. This will be on display during the discussion. He has crafted 58 coup sticks to be given to the first audience members to arrive. Dr. Inabinet is a regular contributor to the Shoofly Magazine, writing his popular “Nature Notes” columns.
