| Friday 8:30 pm: The Arts and Alternative History (Ends at: 9:25 pm) Jackson Participants:Carolyn Ives Gilman , James Morrow (M), John Ashmead, Martin Berman-Gorvine, Tom Doyle We love imagining the ripple effects of worlds changed by a single shift in culture or missing political figure. The influence of our greatest authors, artists, and composers is no less compelling. Panelists discuss what alternate histories emerge when the arts change course. What other realities are possible when we do not lose certain brilliant artists so young? Can the fickle tastes of one prominent patron change the artistic history of an era? |

Our panelists discuss the value of best friends, loyal quest-mates, and found family in science fiction and fantasy. |
