SUMMARY:Envisioning the Empress: Images of Japanese Imperial Women
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 28\n1:00–3:00 p.m. PT\nSpeaker: Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\nVirtual Event \n  \nJoin the Asian Arts Council on an exploration of the public images of Japanese empresses during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based on research completed for her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952\, Alison Miller\, PhD\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\, will introduce and analyze the public images of the modern Japanese empresses\, discussing how visual culture elevated the women as celebrity role models. As imperial images were a completely new invention in the second half of the 19th century\, this talk will discuss the varied influences on the woodblock prints\, lithographs\, and photographs of the empresses\, and how they worked to establish the women as individuals\, but also timeless in the public eye. \nSpeaker Bio: Alison J. Miller\, Associate Professor of Art History and Director of Asian Studies at the University of the South (Sewanee)\, is a specialist in modern and contemporary Japanese art history\, focusing on two-dimensional media\, gender\, and the imperial family. She has published in the Journal of Japanese Studies\, TransAsia Photography Review\, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures and the Americas (ADVA)\, and various public humanities projects and museum catalogues. She is co-editor and contributing author for The Visual Culture of Meiji Japan: Negotiating the Transition to Modernity (Routledge\, 2021) and Transposed Memory: Visual Sites of National Recollection in 20th and 21st Century East Asia (Brill\, 2024). Her book\, Envisioning the Empress: The Lives and Images of Japanese Imperial Women\, 1868-1952 (Routledge\, 2025) analyzes the social impact of the images of the modern Japanese empresses. Miller received her PhD from the University of Kansas and has taught at Bowdoin College and the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work has been funded by a Fulbright Fellowship\, Foreign Language Area Studies Fellowship\, Robert and Lisa Sainsbury Fellowship\, Appalachian College Association Faculty Fellowship\, and Mellon Postdoctoral Fellowship\, among others. \n  \nPlease note\, this session will be conducted virtually via Zoom. \nSave your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link via confirmation email with instructions once you secure your place.\n \nSave my spot!\n  \nSponsored by the Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Utagawa Kunitoshi\, Illustration of the imperial carriage\, (Gohōren no zu) (detail)\, 1889.

The astounding quality of the additions to the collection are testament not only to the Museum’s directorial and curatorial vision\, but also to the many generous individuals who have gifted art to share with this city and its diverse communities. It is a collection created by and for the people of San Diego and is shared internationally through publications\, loans to other museums\, and with touring exhibitions worldwide.

In celebration of this gift and the Museum’s centennial\, this exhibition shares approximately fifty works from the permanent collection.

SUMMARY:Gallery Collective Film Night: John Huston’s Moulin Rouge (1952)
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 25\n7:00 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m.)\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nGallery Collective members and above are invited to a special screening of the 1952 classic film Moulin Rouge\, in celebration of SDMA’s featured exhibition\, Cafés and Cabarets: The Spectacular Art of Toulouse-Lautrec. This classic film depicts the life and times of the artist and his turbulent experience in the Paris art world. \nDoors open at 6:30 p.m. in the MOPA@SDMA Atrium for movie snacks and a photo booth\, then join us in the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater for the film starting at 7:00 p.m. \nGallery Collective level members and above may reserve two complimentary tickets using the link below. Space is limited.  \nGet Tickets \nNot a Gallery Collective member? Join or upgrade today by calling 619.696.1941 to secure your seats for this event. \n  \n\n  \nAbout the Exhibition \nKnown for his beguiling portraits of Paris nightlife and the unvarnished local characters of Montmartre\, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec was born into an aristocratic family in the South of France in 1864. Growing up as a child with a disability that caused his legs to stop developing\, Toulouse-Lautrec turned to drawing rather than the sports his family pursued. His short but celebrated career immortalized the cabaret culture of Belle Époque Paris and revolutionized the art of the poster. Working in the popular and modern art form of the color lithograph\, Toulouse-Lautrec reached unprecedented audiences with spellbinding visuals and eye-catching colors. Inspired and encouraged by Impressionists such as Edgar Degas and his close friend Vincent van Gogh\, and taking influence from the flattened color patterns of Japanese graphic arts\, Toulouse-Lautrec left an unforgettable image of the spectacle\, people\, and performers of turn-of-the-century Paris. Cafés and Cabarets: The Spectacular Art of Toulouse-Lautrec is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to see original works from this celebrated artist. \n

Conceived as part of the Museum’s Centennial\, Local Visions grew out of an open call that invited local artists to reimagine the Museum’s landmark exterior through their own contemporary perspectives. The response to the call was remarkable\, with an inspiring range of proposals that demonstrated the depth of talent in our community. From these submissions\, a selection of works was chosen to reflect both the diversity of artistic approaches and the shared sense of connection to this historic building. \nTogether\, these works illuminate how a single façade can serve as both subject and symbol; honored\, transformed\, and reinterpreted in ways that bridge community and architecture\, past and present\, tradition and innovation. \nMany thanks to the artists whose work appears in the exhibition. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Wagner Humphreys\, Timeless (detail)\, 2025.
