SUMMARY:Art of Reading Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 10\, 2024\n10:15 a.m.–noon PT\nMuseum Boardroom \n  \nBe part of the Art of Reading Book Club\, where art\, literature\, and art history converge. On August 10 we will discuss The Other Side: A Story of Women in Art and the Spirit World by Jennifer Higgie. The Other Side delves into the lives and work of extraordinary women artists from various eras\, including Hildegard of Bingen\, a twelfth-century mystic\, composer\, and artist; Georgiana Houghton\, a nineteenth-century English spiritualist; Hilma af Klint\, an early twentieth-century Swedish artist; Agnes Pelton\, the “Desert Transcendentalist”; Emma Kunz\, a Swiss healer who used geometric drawings in her treatments; and Ithell Colquhoun\, a British surrealist and occultist with a collection recently acquired by Tate gallery. Despite their unique styles\, these women shared a common goal: to communicate with and learn from other dimensions. \nJoin us for a lively discussion on the book\, alternative ways of understanding the world\, and the impact of spiritualism on feminism and contemporary art. The Other Side is a powerful blend of memoir\, biography\, and art history that offers a radical reappraisal of these marginalized artists. Don’t miss out on this enriching conversation! \nCoffee and light snacks will be served. \nPlease save your spot by Wednesday\, August 7\, by clicking on this link. All participants are required to check in at the Museum rotunda admissions desk then meet at the Museum boardroom. \n  \nSave My Spot \nFree for members | $20 for nonmembers

SUMMARY:Crossing the Line and Closing the Circle: The Legacy of Independence on Modern Indian Art
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 17\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeaker: Siddhartha V. Shah\, John Wieland 1958 Director\, Mead Art Museum at Amherst College\nVirtual Event \n  \nThe partition of British India in August 1947 divided the subcontinent into the nations of India and Pakistan and incited the largest mass migration in human history. Independence from colonial rule was thus cause for both celebration and despair—a paradox that artists of the period represented in varied and arresting ways. Post-independence art reveals a unique confluence of mixed emotions and histories\, where ancient tales and modern abstraction convey both sorrow and hope\, separation and unity. This presentation examines the dreams and visions of artists working after 1947 through works of art that convey tremendous cultural pride as well as visions of a hopeful though undetermined future. \nSpeaker Bio: Siddhartha V. Shah is the John Wieland 1958 Director of the Mead Art Museum at Amherst College. He was previously the Director of Education and Civic Engagement and Curator of South Asian Art at the Peabody Essex Museum\, which is located in in Salem\, Massachusetts and home to one of the leading collections of modern Indian art outside the subcontinent. Dr. Shah earned his BA in art history from Johns Hopkins University\, an MA in Hindu philosophy and Jungian psychoanalysis from the California Institute of Integral Studies\, and a PhD in art history from Columbia University. His academic and curatorial projects have been featured in publications ranging from The Times of India and India Today\, to The New Yorker\, The Wall Street Journal\, and Psychology Today. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place.\n \nSave my spot! \n  \nSponsored by the South Asian Arts Council. \n  \nFeatured at top right: Siddhartha V.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Slow Looking
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 22nd \n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \n  \nJoin us for a mindful looking experience.  Pablo Picasso once said\, “It’s not what you look at that matters\, it’s what you see.” \nSlow looking/ mindful looking at art offers numerous benefits\, including increased appreciation\, deeper understanding\, and enhanced emotional connection. This differs from a typical tour as we do not offer much information on the art or the artist. The focus is on breath work and encouraging an internal dialogue with yourself about details\, colors\, and textures that might otherwise go unnoticed. You may also discover new symbols\, themes\, or emotions\, unlocking a richer comprehension. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link. All participants will be sent the Zoom link and instructions via email once you secure your place. Space is limited. \nReserve my spot! \n\nHosted by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council. \nFeatured: Jacobus Vrel \, interior with seated woman ca 1660. 1950.17

SUMMARY:Identity Through the Lens: Cara Romero's Indigenous Narratives
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, October 11\n10:00 a.m.\nSpeakers: Cara Romero\, Artist\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nStep into the visual realm of acclaimed contemporary fine art photographer Cara Romero as she explores the intricate tapestry of identity and heritage. Her groundbreaking work offers unique perspectives shaped by her experiences as a citizen of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe and her upbringing between the stark contrasts of the Mojave Desert reservation and Houston’s urban landscape. As a modern storyteller\, Romero uses contemporary photographic techniques to capture the vibrancy and modernity of Indigenous culture. Her theatrical compositions and dramatic use of color illuminate Native worldviews. She seamlessly blends fine art and editorial photography to depict cultural memory\, collective history\, and lived experiences from a female perspective. Explore the ways her work challenges stereotypes and represents the supernatural elements present in everyday Indigenous life. \nDon’t miss this talk that offers a rare opportunity to understand how Romero’s art serves as a powerful medium for preserving and evolving Indigenous narratives in the contemporary world. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council.
