SUMMARY:Opening Lecture: Artist Helen Glazer
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Diffley Board Room in Bellarmine Hall at 5 p.m. on Thursday\, February 1 to hear artist Helen Glazer introduce her exhibition Walking in Antarctica! Her talk is presented as part of the Edwin L. Wiesel Jr. Lectureships in Art History\, funded by the Robert Lehman Foundation. \nIn 2015\, artist Helen Glazer traveled to Antarctica as a grantee of the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program\, in order to photograph ice and geological formations for eventual production as photographic prints and sculpture. She worked out of remote Antarctic scientific field camps and had access to protected areas that can only be entered with government permits or in the company of a skilled mountaineer. \nInspired and informed by her experiences\, Walking in Antarctica is an immersive\, interdisciplinary exhibition bringing together photography\, sculpture\, and audio narrative to take the viewer on a journey through an extraordinary environment of remote places that the tourist ships do not reach and few people get to witness in person. The exhibition is organized as a series of “walks” through remarkable Antarctic landscapes: over frozen lakes\, around towering glaciers and baroque sea ice formations\, into a magnificent frozen ice cave\, across fields of surreal-looking boulders\, and through a lively colony of nesting Adélie penguins. Visitors to the exhibition who have smartphones will be able to access an audio tour narrated by Glazer\, drawn from a blog in which she recorded her experiences. \nThrough her artwork\, Glazer strives to convey the wonder and complexity of the natural world to others\, in order to motivate a desire to protect and preserve wild places. Her study of earth science over the past several years heightened her awareness of multiple factors shaping the land over time. In recognizing that complex patterns in nature express the particular physical forces at work\, she became more attuned to the interplay between geology\, climate\, life forms\, and human activity in a given location. \nThis project is organized by Mid-America Arts Alliance and is an adaptation of the artist’s solo exhibition of the same title held at the Rosenberg Gallery at Goucher College (Baltimore\, MD) that was funded in part by grants from the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance and the Puffin Foundation. Creation of this work was made possible in part by a Rubys Artist Project Grant\, a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance conceived and initiated with funding from the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation\, and by a Puffin Foundation Artist Grant. \nFaculty Liaison: Brian Walker\, PhD\, Professor of Biology \nTo learn more about the exhibition\, visit our website here. \nImage: Helen Glazer\, Fractal Arch\, Erebus Ice Tongue Cave\, Antarctica\, 2015\, archival pigment print. © Helen Glazer

SUMMARY:Exhibition Tour: “In Real Times: Arthur Szyk-Artist and Soldier for Human Rights”
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries for a special tour of the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Soldier for Human Rights with Michelle DiMarzo\, PhD\, Curator of Education! \nPlease note: This event is in-person only and space is limited.  \nPlease register via https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tour-in-real-times-arthur-szyk-artist-and-soldier-for-human-rights-tickets-631689729987 \n  \nThis event is in conjunction with the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Soldier for Human Rights\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from September 29-December 16\, 2023.  \nDon’t miss Szyk: The Interactive Experience in the Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts. \nAbout the exhibition: \nThis special exhibition\, organized around the theme of human rights features more than 50 works by acclaimed Polish Jewish miniaturist and political cartoonist Arthur Szyk (1899-1951)\, including political cartoons\, and images that honor the power and importance of democratic ideals. A witness to the rise of totalitarianism in Europe\, Szyk emigrated from London to America at the beginning of World War II. He lived and worked in Connecticut\, and passed away in New Canaan in 1951. His powerful political cartoons animated the covers of magazines such as Time and Collier’s\, raising awareness of the plight of European Jews and helping sway public opinion toward support for American participation in the Second World War. As a self-described “soldier in art\,” Szyk’s work was acclaimed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt as a potent weapon “against Hitlerism.” He advocated for religious tolerance\, racial equality\, and human dignity. Active in the years leading up to World War II and during the Holocaust\, Szyk became one of America’s most celebrated political artists for his powerful artistic and social contributions against Nazism and fascism. As our communities continue to confront issues of structural racism and social upheaval — including the sharp rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence across the United States— this exhibition provides a platform for conversations on the urgent topics of human rights and social justice. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/szyk/ \n  \nImage: Arthur Szyk\, Thomas Jefferson’s Oath\, watercolor\, gouache\, ink\, and colored pencil on board\, 1951\, Taube Family Arthur Szyk Collection\, The Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life\, University of California\, Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Virtual Lecture: “Southbury: The German-American Bund Dream for Connecticut”
DESCRIPTION:Join us virtually for a special lecture by author Arnie Bernstein! \nArnie Bernstein will discuss his book Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund\, which chronicles the history of the pro-Nazi movement\, German–American Bund\, and its leader Fritz Kuhn during the 1930s. Bernstein has been featured on various international media outlets and nationally on MSNBC\, C-SPAN Book TV\, PBS\, and the National Geographic Channel. \nPlease note: This event is virtual only and will be live streamed via thequicklive.com \n  \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Department of History at Fairfield University\, and is in conjunction with the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Soldier for Human Rights\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from September 29-December 16\, 2023.  \nDon’t miss Szyk: The Interactive Experience in the Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts. \n  \nAbout the exhibition: \nThis special exhibition\, organized around the theme of human rights features more than 50 works by acclaimed Polish Jewish miniaturist and political cartoonist Arthur Szyk (1899-1951)\, including political cartoons\, and images that honor the power and importance of democratic ideals. A witness to the rise of totalitarianism in Europe\, Szyk emigrated from London to America at the beginning of World War II. He lived and worked in Connecticut\, and passed away in New Canaan in 1951. His powerful political cartoons animated the covers of magazines such as Time and Collier’s\, raising awareness of the plight of European Jews and helping sway public opinion toward support for American participation in the Second World War. As a self-described “soldier in art\,” Szyk’s work was acclaimed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt as a potent weapon “against Hitlerism.” He advocated for religious tolerance\, racial equality\, and human dignity. Active in the years leading up to World War II and during the Holocaust\, Szyk became one of America’s most celebrated political artists for his powerful artistic and social contributions against Nazism and fascism. As our communities continue to confront issues of structural racism and social upheaval — including the sharp rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence across the United States— this exhibition provides a platform for conversations on the urgent topics of human rights and social justice. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/szyk/

SUMMARY:Arthur Szyk Symposium: “Arthur Szyk – Art – Propaganda – Memory” (Morning Session)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Szyk Symposium\, Arthur Szyk –  Art – Propaganda – Memory\, celebrating the legacy of Arthur Szyk! \nJoin leading scholars and curators from across the country to hear their perspectives on Szyk’s impact on art\, politics\, and culture.  \nWe invite you to join the conversation via the following options: \n\nIn-person in the Barone Campus Center’s Dogwood Room (registration required-limited seating!)\nStreaming via thequicklive.com\n\nPlease register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/symposium-arthur-szyk-art-propaganda-memory-morning-session-tickets-623035444787  \n  \nThis symposium is presented in conjunction with the exhibition In Real Times. Arthur Szyk: Artist and Soldier for Human Rights\, on view in the Bellarmine Hall Galleries from September 29-December 16\, 2023.  \nDon’t miss Szyk: The Interactive Experience in the Walsh Gallery in the Quick Center for the Arts. \n  \nAbout the exhibition: \nThis special exhibition\, organized around the theme of human rights features more than 50 works by acclaimed Polish Jewish miniaturist and political cartoonist Arthur Szyk (1894-1951)\, including political cartoons\, and images that honor the power and importance of democratic ideals. A witness to the rise of totalitarianism in Europe\, Szyk emigrated from London to America at the beginning of World War II. He lived and worked in Connecticut\, and passed away in New Canaan in 1951. His powerful political cartoons animated the covers of magazines such as Time and Collier’s\, raising awareness of the plight of European Jews and helping sway public opinion toward support for American participation in the Second World War. As a self-described “soldier in art\,” Szyk’s work was acclaimed by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt as a potent weapon “against Hitlerism.” He advocated for religious tolerance\, racial equality\, and human dignity. Active in the years leading up to World War II and during the Holocaust\, Szyk became one of America’s most celebrated political artists for his powerful artistic and social contributions against Nazism and fascism. As our communities continue to confront issues of structural racism and social upheaval — including the sharp rise in antisemitic rhetoric and violence across the United States— this exhibition provides a platform for conversations on the urgent topics of human rights and social justice. \nhttps://www.fairfield.edu/museum/szyk/ \n  \nImage: Arthur Szyk\, detail of “And the name of the man was Elimelech\, and the name of his wife Naomi\, and the name of his two sons Mahlon & Chilion” Ruth.
