Localist Shortcode
This shortcode ties into events.wfu.edu our localist events website and displays events based on the attributes on the shortcode. Many of our websites use this plugin to display events related to the content of that website. We also offer our University Events block for a more integrated look and feel.
UPDATE: Looks like the natural display for each of these seems off in our new theme. We should check to make sure all the css is being loaded for these and that there isn’t any non-secure styles/scripts. Also images are broken in the API shortcode so we probably need to ensure we are using https for these.
Shortcode: Localist Widget
The Localist widget shortcode ties into the basic widget building functionality localist provides. It comes wrapped with html and has very little ability to change the html structure.
- num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_widget num=10 days=30 ]
Shortcode Output
Shortcode: Localist API
The Localist API shortcode has more parameters and can return a more custom set of events returned in json format allowing the html display of the events to be controlled on our end.
- pp or num (number of events)
- days
Shortcode
[ wfu_localist_api pp=10 days=30 ] or [ wfu_localist_api num=10 days=30 ]

Founder and Artistic Director Alexander Lloyd Blake (Wake Forest ’10) created Tonality to connect people through song, using choral music to stimulate community conversations about important issues in the contemporary world. On this Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday, the 2024 GRAMMY-winning vocal ensemble will present their “America Will Be” program, a renewed vision for an inclusive America.
Join us to learn the basics of AI and generative AI, and how it may be used here at Wake Forest and beyond. In this workshop, we will explore how generative AI works, its potential applications, what to know before using it, and then we’ll explore a few tools. We hope you'll join us!
Ornate tools of war and visually striking regalia are some of the objects on display that demonstrate how masculinity is emphasized in traditional African politics. The exhibit also features many objects linked to the history of colonization, when European powers displaced the traditional systems of governance, and their own ideas about masculinity were incorporated. The objects’ backstories chart the rise and fall of status symbols that are still relevant today as cultural heritage.
Drums from Africa are so iconic that they are often used to represent musical traditions from across the continent. However, Africa is home to many fascinating instruments beyond drums. This exhibit presents a range of percussion and non-percussion instruments that showcase the diversity of African music. The exhibit highlights how the objects have been played, collected, and studied. Videos of musical performances are also featured.
Colors have many symbolic meanings in East Asian fashion. This exhibit features clothing from China and Japan organized by the five basic colors of black, red, green-blue, white, and yellow. These colors are traditionally associated with the elements of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, respectively. Originating in the mythical past, color symbolism was popularized throughout East Asia with the spread of religious and philosophical ideas. Just as the elements were thought to combine into more complex materials, colors could be combined into complex poetic expressions. Visitors can explore these connections between color, nature, and fashion in this student-curated exhibit.
