Please join us for an opening reception and curator’s talk of Empire and Resistance: Transisthmian Views of Central America.
Empire and Resistance demonstrates the long, contentious history that links the United States and the seven countries of Central America: Belize, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Panamá. The exhibition focuses on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but the objects on display date from the sixteenth to twenty-first centuries, reflecting the shifting contours over time of empire and resistance to empire.
This lecture is adapted from Professor Holsinger’s new book, On Parchment: Animals, Archives, and the Making of Culture from Herodotus to the Digital Age, just published by Yale University Press. The lecture will explore the biomolecular study of parchment objects, theological understandings of the medium in several faith traditions, and the role of parchment in modern and contemporary art.
