SUMMARY:Faces of Civil War Nurses: An Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Military Images magazine and the National Museum of Civil War Medicine\, The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall is proud to welcome a new temporary exhibit\, “Faces of Civil War Nurses\,” featuring portraits and personal stories of women who served as nurses during the Civil War. The exhibit first debuted in 2025 at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum in Washington\, DC. \n\n\n\nIt is estimated that over 20\,000 women served as volunteer nurses during the war\, enduring long hours and multiple tours of duty across both front-line battlefields and at numerous hospitals and communities across the country. Forbidden from serving in “indelicate” medical settings at the outset of the Civil War\, women quickly broke down social conventions in caring for the sick and wounded\, risking both disease and the brutal realities of war. These women provided invaluable aid\, from changing bandages and cooking food to comforting the dying\, and innumerable other tasks. \n\n\n\n“During the Civil War\, thousands of courageous women stepped beyond traditional roles to serve as nurses\, caring for the wounded and sick in the chaos of war’s brutal realities. In this exhibit\, you’ll stand face to face with life-sized portraits of 20 of these intrepid pioneers who shaped the future of nursing and redefined the role of women in American society\,” said Military Images Editor and Publisher Ron Coddington. “This is a rare glimpse into their resilience\, sacrifice\, and humanity.” \n\n\n\nThe exhibit will be on display in the Lincoln Gallery at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall through May 9. The building is open Mondays from 12 p.m. – 7 p.m.; Tuesdays – Thursdays from 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; and Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. \n\n\n\nFor questions\, please contact Espy Post Curator Jon-Erik Gilot at gilotj@carnegiecarnegie.org.

SUMMARY:Mai Khôi & the Dissidents Album Release Concert "Five Years in Exile"
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS\n\n\n\n\nPlease note: This concert has moved to the Studio Performance Space. General seating; Existing ticket holders retain reserved seats. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nACFL&MH is pleased to welcome Mai Khôi & the Dissidents for their Carnegie Carnegie debut as part of our new Backbeat Series\, celebrating the release of their new album “Five Years in Exile.” The album follows Khôi through her first five years in the United States\, where she fled to in 2019 to avoid political persecution in Vietnam. Unlike her previous album “Dissent\,” recorded in secret in Vietnam and dedicated exclusively to protest music\, “Five Years in Exile” is more personal and introspective. Protest music sits alongside songs that deal with love\, nostalgia\, loneliness\, and grief. The songs\, co-written with keyboardist Mark Micchelli\, deftly weave through genres as diverse as jazz\, experimental music\, math rock\, art song\, and even a bit of the pop and dance music Khôi used to sing in Vietnam.Following the concert\, guests are invited to a reception with the artists featuring an opportunity to purchase the album\, meet Mai Khôi & the Dissidents\, and enjoy complimentary refreshments.Want a preview before the concert?Listen to Mai Khôi\, her collaborator Mark Micchelli\, and Carnegie Carnegie Music Hall Director Heidi Matthews on WQED’s Voice of the Arts podcast\, and read the WESA feature ahead of Friday’s show. \n\n\n\nListen: WQED Voice of the ArtsRead: WESA — “Pittsburgh-based Vietnamese dissident singer releases new album” \n\n\n\nAbout Mai KhôiMai Khôi is an award-winning singer\, composer\, and activist. She rose to stardom in 2010 after winning the Vietnam Television Song and Album of the Year awards as one of the first female songwriters in Vietnam. As a pop star\, Khôi released seven albums in genres of Vietnamese pop and dance\, and made regular nationally televised performances. Several years later she became increasingly uncomfortable having to submit her work to government censors and\, thinking she could reform the system from within\, nominated herself to run in the National Assembly elections on a pro-democracy platform.  \n\n\n\nSince 2019\, Mai Khôi has lived in exile in the USA. In 2019\, she was a resident artist at SHIM:NYC\, and in 2020\, she was awarded an Artist Protection Fund Fellowship in cooperation with the University of Pittsburgh\, City of Asylum\, and the International Free Expression Project. Mai Khôi was an Exiled Writer and Artist in Residence at City of Asylum in Pittsburgh from 2020-2023; she has continued to reside in Pittsburgh after the conclusion of this residency.  \n\n\n\nIn recognition of her work at the intersection of art and activism\, Khôi has been awarded the 2018 Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent and the 2022 Four Freedoms Award for Freedom of Speech. \n\n\n\nRead more about Mai Khôi on her website at mai-khoi.comThis event is recommended for ages 13 & over.TICKETS: Please note: This concert has moved to the Studio Performance Space.
