SUMMARY:The Art of Cosmopolitanism in Premodern Kerala
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 8\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeaker: Arathi Menon\, Art History Assistant Professor\, Hamilton College\nVirtual Event \n  \nSince antiquity\, Kerala on the Malabar Coast of southwestern India has served as a beacon for merchant ships. A confluence of factors\, including Kerala’s fortuitous position in the Indian Ocean mercantile network\, abundant export of spices\, and partnerships rooted in diplomacy and trade\, engendered a regional milieu of multicultural cosmopolitanism and a shared artistic vocabulary across religions. This talk examines architectural and sculptural similitude in Kerala’s premodern churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, and temples\, the agency of local artisans\, and the roles played by rulers\, merchants\, and religious leaders to present a history of art and cosmopolitanism on the Malabar Coast. \nSpeaker Bio: Arathi Menon is assistant professor of art history at Hamilton College. She earned her doctorate in art history and archaeology from Columbia University and specializes in the histories of art in South Asia\, with a focus on the material culture of the premodern Indian Ocean world. Menon’s current book project examines the medieval art and architecture of churches\, mosques\, synagogues\, and temples on the Malabar coast of southwestern India. Her career has blended academic and museum appointments\, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and the New Children’s Museum in San Diego. She has taught at Columbia University and Scripps College of the Claremont Colleges and was previously the Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Fellow at Smarthistory—The Center for Public Art History. \n  \nPlease reserve your spot by clicking on this link.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tour: Wonders of Creation\, a last look
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 26th \n1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. PT \n  \nIn this tour we take a last look at The San Diego Museum of Art’s special exhibition Wonders of Creation: Art\, Science\, and Innovation in the Islamic World\, which closed in January and has now traveled to the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College. Wonders of Creation explores intersections of art and science in Islamic intellectual and visual culture from the 8th century to the present\, using the lens of “wonder” as defined by an influential 13th-century Islamic cosmography describing the universe. Written in Arabic and Persian by Zakariyya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini and entitled The Wonders of Creation and the Rarities of Existence\, this text catalogues the marvels of the universe in a single\, richly illustrated book. We willl explore a few of the exhibition’s 200 works through the framework of Qazwini’s text. Following the book’s narrative through the celestial and terrestrial realms\, we will have an opportunity to view art that connects with topics such as astronomy\, astrology\, natural history\, medicine\, and geometry. Join us as we travel the world visually journeying to Spain\, North Africa\, the Middle East\, Asia and the modern diaspora. \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: Star map depicting the Northern & Southern celestial hemispheres (with constellations inscribed in Devanagari).
