Harvard Art Museums: Stories series, begins 10/13/10, with Xanthe Gresham

Join us on Wednesday, October 13th, for the first day of programming
in the STORIES: THE EPIC TRADITION series, which returns to the Arthur
M. Sackler Museum this fall after the successful events with Jay
O'Callahan, Surabhi Shah, and Linda Fang in March. In this incarnation
of the Stories series, outstanding storytellers—exponents of the
spoken word, song, and narrative dance—will present epics related to
works of art on view in the Sackler Museum galleries. Each day of
programming will have two sessions. The after-school sessions,
designed for families (ages 6 and up), will feature shorter stories
and a chance to see related works of art in the galleries. The evening
sessions, intended for student and adult audiences, will begin with a
brief talk about related objects in the collection by a museum curator
or educator.

All sessions are free, open to the public, and take place at the
Harvard Art Museums/Arthur M. Sackler Museum, lecture hall, 485
Broadway, Cambridge, MA.

Wednesday, October 13, 2010, 3:00pm and 6:00pm

Xanthe Gresham

Gresham performs her own version of Firdawsi's Shahnama, the most
important work of epic poetry in the Persian language. She presents
the heroic Rustam and his valiant steed, Rakhsh, in stories that offer
new insights into the stunning paintings based on the Shahnama that
are currently on view on the second floor of the Sackler Museum.

Gresham has worked extensively for the British Museum, has performed
in festivals, schools, and libraries throughout Europe, and is a
lecturer in storytelling and drama at the University of East London.

Odds Bodkin

Homer's Odyssey is filled with memorable adventures in which the wily
Odysseus outwits an assortment of monsters and sorceresses on his
journey home from Troy. Bodkin's guitar creates the scenic and
emotional backdrop, while his voice brings to life such formidable
characters as the cyclops Polyphemus.

Bodkin has taught storytelling and imagination at Antioch University
New England and performs his music-filled stories at schools,
universities, museums, and theaters across America.

characters that serve as exemplars of ethical living to this day.

Shah performs her repertoire of stories from the Jain and Hindu
traditions in museums and at community events throughout the United
States. Belsare dances and choreographs in the classical Indian

Commodore Abraham Whipple: Privateer, Patriot, Pioneer

Abraham Whipple (1733-1819) commanded insurgents who destroyed the HMS Gaspee in Narragansett Bay and helped direct the successful invasion of the Bahamas. This little-known, yet intrepid and frequently successful Continental Navy officer contributed significantly to the War for Independence. An esteemed officer of the fleet, he spent his last years in frontier Ohio where he was respected and appealed to younger generations as a 'representative of the Revolution'. Dr. Sheldon Cohen's biography of Whipple presents a look inside the life of a Continental officer. He illustrates at a personal level the complexities of naval warfare, including Whipple's reliance on personal finances and family connections to outfit his ships and pay his crew. Cohen also reveals the commander's treatment as a British prisoner of war, and his eventual migration west, shedding light on experiences shared by many Revolutionary War veterans.

Sheldon S. Cohen, professor emeritus of history at Loyola University Chicago, is author of numerous books, including Yankee Sailors in British Gaols and British Supporters of the American Revolution.

Museum engagement




CFP: Museum Engagement and Applied Anthropology

Posted by: "connollyroboird" rcnnolly@memphis.edu   connollyroboird

Tue Sep 14, 2010 3:22 pm (PDT)



Call for Papers: Society for Applied Anthropology Annual Meeting
Seattle, Washington (March 30 - April 2, 2011)

Session Title: Museum Engagement and Applied Anthropology

Session Organizer: Robert P. Connolly (University of Memphis)

The session is conceptually framed around The Participatory Museum by Nina Simon and the contribution that applied anthropologists bring to the discussion. Simon (2010:ii-iii) defines a participatory institution as:
a place where visitors can create, share, and connect with each other around content. Create means that visitors contribute their own ideas, objects, and creative expression to the institution and to each other. Share means that people discuss, take home, remix, and redistribute both what they see and what they make during their visit. Connect means that visitors socialize with other people—staff and visitors—who share their particular interests. Around content means that visitors' conversations and creations focus on the evidence, objects, and ideas most important to the institution in question.
The session aims to discuss the building of sustained and engaged relationships in museums along with the methodological and theoretic contributions of applied anthropology to the process.

Relevant questions session papers may address include:
• As cultural institutions how do museums demonstrate their value and relevance in the 21st Century?
• Can museums serve as "third places" for social engagement?
• What is the relevancy of shifting population demographics and inclusivity to community engagement through museums?
• How do theoretic orientations, such as the constructivist approach and free-choice learning, inform on the Participatory Museum?
• How does the Participatory Museum influence the authority of voice in both content and function of cultural institutions?
• What can applied anthropologists add to the discussion of Participatory Museums?
• How can museums function as dynamic venues for sustained and engaged relationships with a diversity of communities?

Although papers are not required to remain within the parameters of Simon's discourse, for reference, her book is available at:

http://www.participatorymuseum.org/

If you are interested in participating, please send a formal 100 word abstract of your proposed contribution to Robert Connolly at rcnnolly@memphis.edu by October 1, or before.

and preservation of photographic materials. Participants will acquire
hands-on identification skills and learn practical photograph
preservation techniques. Using handheld 60x microscopes and a large
set of photographic and photomechanical samples, they will learn how a
variety of processes were created, why they look the way they do, and
how they deteriorate. Knowledge about photographic processes is
essential to their preservation and leads to a greater appreciation of
the aesthetics and history of photographic prints.

Preservation topics include enclosures, handling guidelines,
environmental monitoring, the effects of temperature and relative
humidity on collections, and the importance of cold storage for
certain photographic materials.

Processes examined in detail include but are not limited to the
following: daguerreotype, albumen, collodion and gelatin printing-out
processes (POP), matte collodion, gelatin silver, photogravure, offset
litho, letterpress halftone, collotype, chromogenic color, inkjet, and
dye sublimation. Group ID sessions, using a digital microscope and
screen projection, will allow participants to practice their
identification skills in a guided setting.

The registration fee for this 4-day workshop is $595 and includes a
handheld microscope, and a workshop notebook with lecture handouts,
Quick ID Sheets for each process, and a selection of readings on
photograph preservation. The Basic Photographic Sample Set, consisting
of 18 identified photographic and photomechanical processes, is
available with registration for $75.
