SUMMARY:Digging in Circles: Miami’s Prehistoric Legacy
DESCRIPTION:Get free tickets\nJoin us for the Archaeological Institute of America’s Spring Lecture\, featuring Robert Carr\, Director of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy. \nIn 1998\, archaeologists uncovered a circle of postholes cut basins into the limestone bedrock at Brickell Point\, an archeological site in Miami\, Florida. Within the floor of the feature were a shark skeleton\, a bottlenosed dolphin cranium\, and a sea turtle shell—all aligned in an east-west axis. Artifacts included numerous non-local materials such as basaltic celts from the Appalachian Mountains and copper from the Midwest. Since that discovery\, twelve other circles have been discovered. \nRadiocarbon dates of AD 200–700 indicate a major town associated with the Tequesta\, an indigenous tribe that established a complex society centuries before the creation of the City of Miami. The site is also the southernmost prehistoric trade center in the United States. \nLearn more about Robert Carr and his work on his website. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program. \nTicket sales end on Thursday\, April 23\, at 7:00 pm. Ticket includes museum admission. \nFor information about this talk\, contact Chiyo Ueyama at cueyama@mag.rochester.edu.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Empress: Picturesque Servitude in the Court of Queen Victoria
DESCRIPTION:Get free tickets\nAt her home on the Isle of Wight\, Queen Victoria (1819–1901) fashioned a miniaturized and domesticated India over which she reigned as Empress. She commissioned a Durbar Room—an elaborate banquet hall—with a corridor filled with nearly one hundred paintings of Indian heads\, and further outfitted her home with at least twelve turbaned men who breathed life into her most outrageous imperial fantasies. While it was the invisibility of servants that was praised in Victorian society\, the Queen wanted her Indians to be as visible and legible as possible. \nJoin Dr. Siddhartha V. Shah\, John Wieland 1958 Director\, Mead Art Museum\, Amherst College\, as he examines the picturesque servitude performed by the Queen’s foreign attendants through a study of her photo albums housed in the Royal Collection. These images expose a centuries-old convention of using imported laborers to fulfill contrasting social and chromatic effects—Indians as decorative props\, arranged in a symbolic power play of light and dark\, domination and subordination. \nAbout the Speaker\nSiddhartha V. Shah joined Amherst College in 2022 as the John Wieland 1958 Director of the Mead Art Museum\, which delivers a dynamic global exhibition program that addresses some of today’s most urgent topics. Under his leadership\, the Mead was awarded accreditation through the American Alliance of Museums and became the first certified sensory-inclusive art museum in the region. \nBefore joining Amherst College\, Shah was Curator of South Asian Art as well as Director of Education and Civic Engagement at the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem\, Massachusetts\, where he installed the museum’s renowned South Asian Art Galleries and curated several important exhibitions\, developed programs to support the social and emotional wellbeing of the museum’s audiences\, championed increased accessibility for visitors with invisible disabilities\, and launched a bilingual initiative to attend to the needs of Spanish-speaking visitors and English language learners. Prior to his work in art museums\, Shah had a sixteen-year career as an art consultant in a commercial gallery system\, gallery director\, and independent specialist in contemporary Hindu and Buddhist art of the Kathmandu Valley. \nHis academic and curatorial projects have been featured in publications ranging from The Times of India and India Today\, to The Wall Street Journal\, The New Yorker\, and Psychology Today. Learn more about Dr. Shah in his Amherst College faculty biography. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program. \nAdvance registration is required for this free event. This is a free-seating program—we encourage you to arrive by 15 minutes prior to the start of the event. Unclaimed seats may be released to walk-in guests. Online ticket sales end on Saturday\, March 14\, at 2:00 pm. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Chiyo Ueyama at cueyama@mag.rochester.edu. \nThis program is part of the annual lecture series\, Bridging Continents: Exploring South Asian Art\, sponsored by the Dogra Art Foundation. \n

SUMMARY:Personal Color Harmony and Frontiers of Impressionism
DESCRIPTION:Get Tickets\nAll color fits into unique color harmony tones. Impressionist painters became hyper focused on the changing colors in nature and finding different harmonies in each season. The seasonal color theory used in Personal Color Analysis evolved from the color theories of the Impressionist movement. \nKerry Jones\, an international industry leader and innovator in personal color analysis based in Rochester\, NY\, utilizes the color science of the Impressionist painters and other artists in determining the most flattering colors for her clients to wear. Over the last two decades Kerry has consulted thousands of clients who are now radiating in their colors all over the globe. She also has created unique personal color analysis products to help people look and feel their best\, simply and naturally. \nDuring this lecture\, Kerry will share the color theories that she uses\, developed by artists\, and will show the link between personal color and the colors in nature and art\, using examples from our Frontiers of Impressionism exhibition. You may never see the colors in people\, the seasons\, or a work of art the same after understanding the connections. Kerry will also do a demonstration on how personal color analysis works with volunteers from the audience. \n\nTo submit a request for ASL interpretation\, please email access@mag.rochester.edu at least two weeks before the program. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact MAG Engagement Manager Jessica Gasbarre at jgasbarre@mag.rochester.edu. Ticket sales end on Thursday\, November 6\, at 6:30 pm. Ticket includes museum admission.
