The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute provides adults social, educational, travel, and focuses on lifelong learning.
Shakespeare wrote “King Lear” during an epidemic that closed theaters and kept people in their homes. Samuel Pepys recorded life in 17th-century London during a deadly outbreak of bubonic plague. Titian and Edvard Munch are among the painters who created enduring art during the widespread pestilence. Does quarantine inspire? Does social isolation spark creativity? Bill Fitts, author of the Needed Killing cozy mystery series (cozy mysteries), and the Song of Narne fantasy novels, will talk about the creative process in the time of plague.
A Q&A will follow the talk.
Classes are free, but registration is required.
