SUMMARY:Visual AIDS Day With(out) Art 2022: Being & Belonging
DESCRIPTION:The Harvard Art Museums are proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2022 by presenting Being & Belonging\, a program of seven short videos highlighting undertold stories of HIV and AIDS from the perspective of artists living with HIV across the world. \nThe program features newly commissioned work by Camila Arce (Argentina)\, Davina “Dee” Conner and Karin Hayes (U.S.)\, Jaewon Kim (South Korea)\, Clifford Prince King (U.S.)\, Santiago Lemus and Camilo Acosta Huntertexas (Colombia)\, Mikiki (Canada)\, and Jhoel Zempoalteca and La Jerry (México). \nFrom navigating sex and intimacy to confronting stigma and isolation\, Being & Belonging centers the emotional realities of living with HIV today.

SUMMARY:Screens for Teens: Portraits from a Fire
DESCRIPTION:This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection\, including both short and feature-length films\, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics\, emotions\, and nuances\, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. \nAbout today’s film:\nPortraits from a Fire\, 2021 (Photon Films; English and Chilcotin with English subtitles; 92 min.) \nThis award-winning\, beautifully layered Indigenous film follows Tyler\, a lonely teenager who spends his days filmmaking\, vlogging his Indigenous Tsilhqotʼin community\, and hanging out with his grandparents. His father is physically present but remains emotionally absent from Tyler’s life for reasons Tyler cannot understand; that is\, until he meets Aaron—a mysterious\, charismatic\, and influential figure who encourages Tyler to showcase his most personal film about his mother’s disappearance to the community. This leads to a reckoning between past and future\, life and death\, and father and son. \nFree admission. Seating is first come\, first served. \nThe screening will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 1:30pm. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Art Talk Live: Eyeglasses and Other Luxuries in a Late Chosŏn Screen Painting
DESCRIPTION:Join former fellow Yuhua Ding as she explores early 20th-century Korean paintings that include distinctly modern items and how those objects relate to knowledge and self-fashioning. Ch’aekkŏri is a unique Korean genre of still-life painting composed of assemblages of thread-bound books\, antique vessels\, writing implements\, flowers\, fruit\, and other luxury items connoting refinement and auspiciousness. \nThe presence in these paintings of eyeglasses imported from Qing dynasty China suggests an important shift in collecting tastes toward the new and unconventional. It also signals a new mode of self-expression among Korean scholars of the late Chosŏn dynasty\, as Korea was taking its first steps into the modern world. \nLed by:\nYuhua Ding\, Kemper Assistant Curator of Collections and Academic Affairs at the Davis Museum\, Wellesley College; former Gregory and Maria Henderson Curatorial Fellow in East Asian Art\, Harvard Art Museums \nThis talk is part of the series Fresh Perspectives\, an initiative that centers the role of the museumgoer. Like talks in the ReFrame series\, these programs highlight diverse voices and broad interpretations of difficult histories and untold narratives. This approach encourages visitors to consider alternative ways of understanding an object\, culture\, or theme. \nThis talk will take place online via Zoom. The event is free and open to all\, but registration is required. To register\, please complete this online form. \nPlease read these instructions on how to join a meeting on Zoom. For general questions about Art Talks\, email am_register@harvard.edu. \nArt Talks Live are presented via Zoom and offer an up-close look at works from our collections with our team of curators\, conservators\, fellows\, and graduate students. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Screens for Teens: Ice Breakers and Olga
DESCRIPTION:This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection\, including both short and feature-length films\, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics\, emotions\, and nuances\, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. \nAbout today’s films: \nIce Breakers\, 2019 (National Film Board of Canada; English; 15 min.) \nJosh Crooks is a promising teen hockey star in a sport where Black players like him are chronically underrepresented. He learns that his unshakable passion is tied to a rich and remarkable heritage when he discovers the buried history of a pioneering Black hockey league in Atlantic Canada. \nOlga\, 2021 (Kino Lorber; French\, Ukrainian\, and Russian with English subtitles; 85 min.) \nIn Elie Grappe’s award-winning drama\, a talented young gymnast from Kiev\, played by real-life former Ukrainian national team member Anastasiia Budiashkina\, moves to Switzerland to pursue her Olympic dreams. The film follows 15-year-old Olga as she tries to make friends on her new team and adjust to life in her new home. As she relentlessly trains in preparation for the European Championships\, her friends and family back in the Ukraine are taking to the streets in what would become known as the Maidan Revolution. Olga is left a powerless\, distant bystander as her mother\, an investigative journalist\, faces danger and violence in her work challenging the brutal Yanukovich regime. While the historic events depicted in the film are intricately linked with the subsequent Russian invasion\, providing rich insight into the current situation in the Ukraine\, Grappe’s camera never strays from the point of view of a remarkable young woman struggling to find her way in the world. (Kino Lorber) \nFree admission. Seating is first come\, first served. \nThe screening will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 1:30pm. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop: Modeling Material Culture in Paper
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is inspired by the exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment\, which explores how the graphic arts inspired\, shaped\, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the so-called age of reason. It invites visitors to embrace the Enlightenment’s same spirit of inquiry—to investigate\, to persuade\, and to imagine. The exhibition is on view at the Harvard Art Museums through January 15\, 2023. \nWe will first gather in the galleries with Elizabeth Rudy\, the Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, and visiting artist Angela Lorenz. Rudy will explain the main themes of the exhibition and focus on a few works that present mysteries that remain unsolved. Lorenz will show examples of her “McSpheres” (Material Culture Spheres). These spheres serve as a low-tech\, open model for the 3-D visualization of objects. She developed them as tools to explore\, categorize\, and describe any object in the world—and to create connections with other objects. Participants will have an opportunity to closely examine and discuss the selected works together in the galleries. We will then proceed to the Materials Lab to fashion our own McSpheres. A conversation about the participants’ creations and the works in the exhibition will conclude the workshop. \nLorenz sees the McSphere as “a call and response specific to Dare to Know\, but [also as] a way to access critical thinking that applies to any object\, environment\, cupboard\, refrigerator\, living room or neighborhood. Some people will go micro to the carbon atom and the water cycle\, others macro to settler colonialism and global trade.” The artist’s hope is that the McSphere will serve as a tool for the exploration of objects in other museums\, neighborhoods\, and contexts. \nLed by:\nElizabeth Rudy\, Carl A. Weyerhaeuser Curator of Prints\, Harvard Art Museums\nAngela Lorenz\, Artist \nNo prior experience necessary. Bring your imagination\, curiosity\, and creativity! This workshop will take place in the Materials Lab\, Lower Level. \n$15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited. Registration for this workshop will open on Thursday\, October 27\, 2022 at this link\, and participants will be admitted on a first-come\, first-served basis. To join the waitlist\, please email am_register@harvard.edu. Minimum age of 14. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museum. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.

SUMMARY:Materials Lab Workshop (Off-Site): Making Faces
DESCRIPTION:Note that this workshop takes place at an off-site location\, Active Learning Labs. Location details are below. \nThis workshop accompanies the exhibition Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, which invites viewers to ask more about the complicated histories of these portraits and the people they depict. It also explores what can be learned about the artistic processes and current condition of these works through scientific analysis and technical research conducted by staff in the Harvard Art Museums’ Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies. Funerary Portraits is on view at the Harvard Art Museums through December 30\, 2022. We encourage participants to visit the exhibition at some point before the workshop date. Please be advised that this exhibition contains objects that were removed from ancient Egyptian burials. \nJoin visiting artist Francisco Benitez for a short overview of the long history of encaustic (pigmented wax) painting and demonstration of the technique before making your own copy of a funerary portrait of a woman from the Harvard Art Museums collections. Curator Susanne Ebbinghaus\, one of the Funerary Portraits team members\, will provide background on the portraits from Roman Egypt. Creating our own version of the ancient image is a means to better appreciating the process and the painter’s skill. The workshop also aims to honor and remember the ancient subject of the portrait we will copy\, and to celebrate the relationship between artist and sitter that allowed her essence to be captured so powerfully. \nThis workshop is co-sponsored by the Harvard Art Museums and the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. \nLed by:\nFrancisco Benitez\, Encaustic Artist \nNo prior experience is necessary. $15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited.

SUMMARY:Painting with Beeswax: Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt
DESCRIPTION:Ancient artists from Roman-period Egypt created portraits on wooden panels to be placed on mummified bodies. The main technique used for these portraits was encaustic (wax) painting. These paintings can now be seen in museum collections around the world. In this presentation and conversation\, contemporary encaustic artist Francisco Benitez and conservator of paintings Kate Smith will employ their expertise to bring new understanding to these ancient objects and allow us to appreciate the skills of the painters who made them 2\,000 years ago. \nFrancisco Benitez is a professional artist as well as a student\, and teacher\, of ancient painting techniques. In workshops\, he shares his research on using ancient\, and modern\, tools to paint with beeswax and to experiment with the Greek four-color palette. Kate Smith—with curatorial and analytical science colleagues—has spent nearly a decade studying the materials and techniques used in the production of the ancient Egyptian funerary portraits in the Harvard Art Museums collections. \nThis lecture is organized in conjunction with Funerary Portraits from Roman Egypt: Facing Forward\, on view through December 30\, 2022. Please be advised that this exhibition contains objects that were removed from ancient Egyptian burials. \nSpeakers:\nFrancisco Benitez\, Encaustic Artist\nKate Smith\, Conservator of Paintings and Head of Paintings Lab\, Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies \nFollowing the lecture\, guests are invited to visit the exhibition on Level 3. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning on Monday\, October 24\, after 10am. \nThe lecture will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 5:30pm. \nLimited complimentary parking is available in the Broadway Garage\, 7 Felton Street\, Cambridge. \nPlease review our general visitor policies\, including details on COVID-related precautions. \nSupport for the Funerary Portraits exhibition is provided by the Kelekian Fund\, the Christopher and Jean Angell Charitable Fund\, and the Kornfeld Foundation (through Christopher Angell).

SUMMARY:Screens for Teens: Train to Busan
DESCRIPTION:This series of contemporary and classic films is specially curated for teenagers in and around Cambridge. The selection\, including both short and feature-length films\, is meant to provide teens with an opportunity to watch work focused explicitly on their experiences. Covering a range of topics\, emotions\, and nuances\, these free films—depending on length and scope—will be followed by conversation with faculty from the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. \nAbout today’s film:\nTrain to Busan\, 2016 (Well Go USA; Korean with English subtitles; 118 min.) \nWhen a mysterious virus breaks out across South Korea\, the infected transform into the murderous undead in this wildly successful 2016 thriller Train to Busan\, an official New York Times Critic’s Pick that Slant Magazine credits with scare tactics “among the most distinctive the zombie canon has ever seen.” As terrified travelers fight for their lives on a bullet train from hell\, the result is a gory high-speed collision between the rich and the poor\, the living and the undead\, and the best and worst of human nature. When some among them prove willing to sell their soul for a shot at survival\, trust may prove to be a luxury even the richest passengers cannot afford. \nPlease note that the film is not rated\, and features violence and horror. \nFree admission\, but seating is limited and reservations are required. Reservations may be arranged by clicking on the event on this form beginning on Thursday\, October 20\, after 10am. \nThe screening will take place in Menschel Hall\, Lower Level. Doors will open at 1:30pm. \nPlease see the museum visit page to learn about our general policies for visiting the museums. \nThe Harvard Art Museums are committed to accessibility for all visitors.
