SATURDAY TALKS
Richard Kooyman will give a slide talk on "Concepts of Beauty-Ancient and Modern" (30minutes) research created during his Italian residencies that thread together contiguous concepts of beauty that radiate from ancient times into contemporary pulses that affect his work.
 
Melanie Parke will give a talk entitled "Sapphic Diaspora" (20 mintues) the title of her series of gouache paintings that evolved during her time as a Visiting Artist at the American Academy in Rome. The Sapphic Diaspora is a feminist inquiry that seeks to juxtapose imagery of ancient women, and most often the lack of them, with a climate and cultural consciousness in feminism in which exile, dispersal, and uncertainty of belonging continues to weigh down on the female body.
