Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos - Presented by the Feminist Research Institute

The Feminist Research Institute invites you to a performance:

"Mabel Dodge Luhan in Taos"

by Dr. Rosemary Keefe,
Univ. Wisconsin, Emerita

Thursday, March 25th
12:30- 2 pm
SUB, Cherry/Silver

Imagine it is 1935. You are celebrating Intimate Memories of Mabel Dodge Luhan (1879-1962), her mystical visions and falling in love with New Mexico and Tony Lujan in Edge of Taos Desert. Mabel raves about movers and shakers in early 20th century political and avant-garde art movements, guests at her New York and Taos salons: Ansel Adams, D. H. Lawrence, Willa Cather, Mary Austin, Georgia O'Keeffe. Ask "Mabel" questions about her life and passions.

"My life broke in two when I came to New Mexico. I entered into a new world more strange and terrible and sweet than any I had ever imagined."
-Mabel Dodge Luhan
