Nykoli Koslow is the twelfth Pfister Artist-in-Residence. They are a Milwaukee based artist working in the realm of painting and drawing, Nykoli fuses figuration with abstraction to explore notions of gender, sexuality, and agency. Part autobiographical and part research-based; the 2013 Milwaukee-Peck School of the Arts graduate’s current series turns the visceral feelings of gender dysphoria into a queer cosmology. Their work pulls from ancient history, mythology, religion, mysticism and a kind of theoretical physics infused with sci-fi.
Saturday, Jan. 10
Birding with Poet Chuck Stebelton @ Lynden Sculpture Garden, 8:30 a.m.
Join poet and birder Chuck Stebelton the second Sunday of each month for a small-group, socially distanced bird-walk on the grounds. Watch for seasonal migrants and resident bird species and seek out the best bird habitats to identify as many species as you can. Please dress for the weather and plan to walk in varied terrain. Bring your binoculars if you have them; no previous birding experience required.

9to5: The Story of a Movement Screening and Panel Discussion livestream, 5:30 p.m.
Before the hit song or film, 9to5 was an inspiring demand for equality that encapsulated the spirit of both the women’s and labor movements of the 1970s. The true story of a movement that started with 9to5, a group of Boston secretaries in the early ‘70s whose goals were simple—better pay, more advancement opportunities and an end to sexual harassment—but their unconventional approach attracted the press and shamed their bosses into change. Hosted by Milwaukee PBS and John Michael Kohler Arts Center.
