Meet Interdisciplinary Archivist Jenny Yurshanksy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:00:18 GMT

For interdisciplinary artist Jenny Yurshanksy, home has never really been a place—at least not in the strict geographical sense. She was born during her parents’ immigration, in the middle of a fraught journey between continents, and that foundational statelessness has informed her sense of self and relationship to the world ever since. In her research-infused art practice, she deftly unravels personal, geopolitical, and often botanical histories—finding ready metaphors in nature for the malleable structure of societies and of families, and undeniable power in direct engagement and individual storytelling. Based in true stories and science-minded inquiry, given form through meaningful objects from embroidered textiles to large-scale sculptural installations, oral and photographic archives, books and texts, photographs, and a variety of further materials as best suited to the matters under examination. Her current project, Rinsing the Bones, invites audience participation in creating...

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — The Browns could be missing a top defensive player when they open against one of the NFL’s most potent offenses.Two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Denzel Ward remained in concussion protocol and missed practice Monday, putting his availability for Sunday’s season opener against quarterback Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in question.Ward has been sidelined since suffering a head injury — the fourth reported concussion of his NFL career — in Cleveland’s exhibition game at Kansas City on Aug. 25.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:00:18 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State safety Rakeim Ashford won’t play this weekend against No. 13 Notre Dame after he was taken off the field on a stretcher during the season-opening win at Connecticut, coach Dave Doeren said Monday.Ashford spent Thursday night in the hospital for tests before being released on Friday and returning to Raleigh. Doeren said Ashford will play again, but the timetable is uncertain.“He’s probably going to need at least a week probably to shake that one off,” Doeren said. “I would equate that to a whiplash-type thing, so he’s pretty sore. We’ve just got to get the soreness out and get him back to who he was. He’ll play again and all that, we just don’t know how long it’s going to take.”Ashford was hit late by a UConn player at the end of a kickoff return with 1:54 left in the third quarter. He went down and lay motionless for about 10 minutes as both teams knelt and watched emergency crews work on him. The Hu...
