SUMMARY:Terribly Close: Polish Vernacular Artists Face the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Erica Lehrer\, Concordia University \nCan inanimate objects store and communicate traumatic memory that cannot be directly expressed? This talk examines ‘folk art’ made by non-professional Polish artists – many of them village laborers – documenting the German Nazi occupation of Poland and the Holocaust. Made largely in the 1960s and 70s\, these objects are uncanny: at times deeply moving\, at others grotesque\, they can also be disturbing for the ways they impose Catholic idioms on Jewish suffering\, or upend accepted roles of victim\, perpetrator\, and bystander. \nDr. Lehrer introduces forgotten works by some of Poland’s best known “folk” artists from the postwar socialist People’s Republic of Poland\, recently re-discovered in Polish and German ethnographic museums and private collections. Never before treated as a genre\, these objects are complex artworks born of various impulses: their creators were artists\, but also collectors\, ethnographers\, curators\, and ideologues. The oldest example is a painting from ca. 1948 by Sławomir Kosiniak from Zalipie\, a village famous for its decorative floral motifs. Recently discovered in the archives of the Kraków Ethnographic Museum\, it presents the round-up of local Jews. The most recent work is Jedwabne by Jan Kowalczyk\, commissioned by a German collector in 2017. These “awkward objects\,” which fall outside the accepted visual language of Holocaust representation\, provoke profound reactions in viewers\, and raise complex questions about the relationship between art and traumatic memory. \nDr. Erica Lehrer is a Professor of History and Sociology-Anthropology at Concordia University (Montreal)\, sociocultural anthropologist and curator. She also founded and directs Concordia’s Curating and Public Scholarship Lab. Dr. Lehrer is the author of Jewish Poland Revisited: Heritage Tourism in Unquiet Places (2013) and co-editor of three books\, including Curatorial Dreams: Critics Imagine Exhibitions (2016). Her curatorial work includes a number of international exhibition projects\, most recently Terribly Close: Polish Vernacular Artists Face the Holocaust at Kraków Ethnographic Museum in 2018-19. \nThis lecture is presented in partnership with the Frankel Center of Judaic Studies\, CREES (Center for Russian\, East European\, and Eurasian Studies)\, CCPS (Copernicus Center for Polish Studies)\, and WCEE (Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia). \nPresented online via Zoom; registration required. \nClick here for event flyer \n \nSlawomir Kosiniak\, Untitled\, ca. 1948\, Ethnographic Museum in Krakow\, photo by Wojciech Wilczyk

SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Partnerships and Community Collaborations in Museum Practice - Two Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Museums at Noon conversation! \nTitle:  Interdisciplinary Partnerships and Community Collaborations in Museum Practice – Two Perspectives \nDate:  Friday\, March 26 \nTime:  12:00 pm \nLocation:  Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 910 0130 8478 / Passcode: 617448) (direct link) \nPresenters: \n\nChristina DiFabio (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology)\nShannon Ness (PhD candidate\, Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art & Archaeology)\n\n  \nInterdisciplinary College and Professional Learning at the Art Institute of Chicago (Christina DiFabio)   \nThis presentation will discuss how a major art museum in the U.S. engages college and professional groups within various disciplines. During the winter of 2019\, I worked in the Adult Learning Division in the Department of Learning and Public Engagement at the Art Institute of Chicago. In my practicum\, I saw how the division initiates and maintains partnerships with art students at the School of the Art Institute and medical students at University of Illinois Chicago and Rush University. I will discuss how the division approaches art education with these different audiences as well as my own research which proposed how to broaden the medical school partnership to other professions\, such as social work. My work was an initial step in a larger project that is being undertaken by the division to create a wellness program for interdisciplinary students and professionals. \n  \nCommunity Participation and Consultation: Developing a Heritage Center at El Kurru\, Sudan (Shannon Ness) \nThe modern village of El Kurru is one locale within the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site of “Gebel Barkal and the Sites of the Napatan Region” and gives its name to the ancient royal cemetery located there. Although the well-preserved and painted burial chambers attract domestic and international tourists\, there is no site presentation — a detriment to both visitors and residents. As part of a new site management plan\, El Kurru will soon be home to the El Kurru Community Heritage Center\, which strives to be a resource for both visitors and residents alike. The International Kurru Archaeological Project (IKAP) in partnership with Sudanese archaeologists and local stakeholders are preparing programming and the exhibitions on the site’s archaeology and the local culture of El Kurru. \nThis talk will discuss the development of an educational outreach program and the curation of the local heritage exhibit\, which will feature photographs\, objects\, and stories sourced from the local community. While there is general interest in what the Center could be and IKAP has been successful in encouraging participation in the development process\, the talk will also address some of the challenges in moving beyond mere participation and consultation in the effort to foster true collaboration between various stakeholders. \nDiFabio and Ness_BrownBag
