November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the rich cultures, histories, and contributions of Native American peoples. We invite you to view a digital gallery of works aimed to elevate the voices and perspectives of Indigenous peoples in the United States, or watch a virtual tour with former Ho Family Student Guide Jacqueline Zoeller, examining the tensions between object and subject in Native American portraiture. Calling all families! Please join us for Family Day, an afternoon of family-friendly activities open to all ages. Explore the museums with scavenger hunts; use your eyes, mind, and imagination to engage deeply with works on view; and play with light, shadow, and color in our Materials Lab makerspace, inspired by László Moholy-Nagy’s Light Prop for an Electric Stage. We hope to see you there! __________________________________________________ From our friends... On November 18, join the Center for Jewish Studies, Mahindra Humanities Center, and HAA for a symposium exploring Jewish identity in the medieval and early modern world. |
