SUMMARY:Sac's Queer Secrets: The LGBTQ+ History Hiding in Plain Sight
DESCRIPTION:What if some of Sacramento’s most consequential history is the history we’ve barely been taught? \nBehind familiar storefronts\, ordinary buildings\, and neighborhood landmarks lies a history of defiance\, political struggle\, and extraordinary community building. Sacramento wasn’t simply a backdrop to the LGBTQ+ rights movement. Its people helped shape it. Often while confronting laws\, institutions\, and social attitudes determined to keep them invisible. \nJoin scientist\, photographer\, and LGBTQ+ history advocate Mitchell “Mitch” McCartney\, creator of the Stop Whispering\, Start Shouting series\, for a revealing exploration of Sacramento’s queer past. Going beyond the individual stories he has shared publicly\, Mitch will trace the larger historical forces\, unexpected connections\, and pivotal moments that shaped LGBTQ+ life in Sacramento and influenced movements beyond our city. \nFrom Indigenous histories of gender and sexual diversity and the social world of Gold Rush-era Sacramento to the emergence of organized LGBTQ+ resistance in the late 1960s\, we’ll explore how people challenged discrimination\, claimed public space\, and created communities when acceptance was far from guaranteed. \nYou’ll Learn\nHow Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ communities and identities evolved across generations\, including histories often absent from traditional accounts of the city.\nHow local activists\, organizations\, and publications contributed to broader struggles for LGBTQ+ rights.\nHow gathering spaces\, neighborhood institutions\, and Lavender Heights became part of the city’s social and political history.\nHow discrimination\, the AIDS crisis\, and decades of organizing shaped Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ community and its enduring legacy.\nHistory doesn’t disappear simply because we stop talking about it. Come discover the Sacramento that was here all along. \nMitchell Mark McCartney is a Sacramento-based scientist\, photographer\, storyteller\, and LGBTQ+ history advocate. He serves as Director of Research for the Bioinstrumentation and BioMEMS Lab at UC Davis\, where he develops portable chemical sensors for human\, animal\, agricultural\, and environmental health monitoring. \nBeyond his scientific work\, Mitch created Stop Whispering\, Start Shouting\, a social media series uncovering Sacramento’s LGBTQ+ history and honoring the activists who shaped it. He is also a passionate advocate for preserving and recognizing the historic significance of Sacramento’s Lavender Heights neighborhood.

SUMMARY:Common Knowledge Lectures: How to Pull Off an Art Heist
DESCRIPTION:Stealing a priceless masterpiece is difficult\, but how do you sell something the entire world is looking for? Who decides what stolen art is worth? And what if some of history’s greatest art thieves weren’t criminals at all\, but the very museums entrusted with protecting our cultural treasures? \nFrom the still-unsolved Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum robbery to the infamous thefts of the Mona Lisa and The Scream\, art history is filled with audacious schemes\, astonishing disappearances\, and mysteries that refuse to be solved. But behind these headline-grabbing heists lies a much more fascinating story about money\, power\, ownership\, and the strange economics of priceless art. \nJoin performer\, writer\, and former museum guide Kylie Holloway as she explores how to pull off an art heist\, at least in theory! What motivates someone to steal a masterpiece? What separates a brilliant plan from a spectacular failure? And how do thieves profit from artwork that’s too famous to sell? \nThen we’ll turn the spotlight on the museums themselves. From the Getty to the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, we’ll examine the complicated histories of how great collections were assembled\, the controversies surrounding stolen cultural treasures\, and an uncomfortable question: When does collecting become stealing? \nCome for the daring robberies\, missing masterpieces\, and criminal intrigue. Leave questioning something much bigger: Who gets to decide what art is worth\, who owns it\, and who the real thieves are?
