Des Moines Art Center

The Des Moines Art Center invites you to join us for a free artist lecture with Valentin Noujaïm – “What Caïn saw, and other variations on the desire to destroy.” This lecture is presented alongside the Art Center’s exhibition, “Valentin Noujaïm: La Défense,” on view in the Pamela Bass-Bookey and Harry Bookey Gallery September 10 – December 6, 2026.
Noujaïm is a French-Lebanese artist and filmmaker based between Paris, France and Athens, Greece. His work explores how individuals and territories navigate forms of collapse, treating contemporary architecture as spaces charged with narratives, tensions, and latent imaginaries. Through film and video, he examines how power, memory, and collective imaginaries are inscribed in built environments and what survives when they unravel. Moving between documentary and fiction, he weaves together personal histories, political landscapes, and the silent weight of spaces to construct layered works.

Rollins Mansion

The Harvest Table is an invitation to gather—to share a meal, meet someone new, and celebrate the season with good food and even better company.
Hosted on the terrace at Rollins Mansion, this intimate evening features a thoughtfully crafted five-course plated dinner by Chef Jacob, highlighting locally sourced ingredients from Iowa farmers and producers. Every course reflects the flavors of the season while honoring the people who grow them.
More than a dinner, The Harvest Table is a community experience. A place where conversations linger, strangers become friends, and the simple act of sharing a meal reminds us how meaningful it is to gather together.Purchase tickets/ additional information here: <a href="https://www.rollinsmansion.com/event/the-harvest-table/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The Harvest Table | Rollins Mansion</a>
