Family Day: Fourth Grade Project World Cultures

This summer the Russell Library is proudly hosting the traveling exhibition The Fourth Grade Project featuring 72 photographs by Judy Gelles. Over the past decade, Judy Gelles (1944 – 2020) interviewed and photographed more than 300 fourth-grade students from a range of economic and cultural backgrounds in China, Dubai, England, India, Israel, Italy, Nicaragua, St. Lucia, South Africa, South Korea, and multiple areas of the United States. This art project connects children locally and globally, building bridges and tearing down walls.

Family Day: Object Lessons with GMOA

“Object Lessons in American Art: Selections from the Princeton University Art Museum” pairs works together in fresh ways that start new conversations about American history and culture. Explore the exhibition, play Art Cart games in the galleries and create a work of art to take home in the Michael and Mary Erlanger Studio Classroom. Staff from UGA’s Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library will also share objects from their collection that tell stories about Athens.

Film Screening, The Living Record of Our Memory

Why preserve film in a world where audiovisual materials seem so readily available online? That is the key question posed in Film, the Living Record of Our Memory, which features interviews with film archivists, curators, technicians, and filmmakers including Costa-Gavras, Jonas Mekas, Patricio Guzmán, Ken Loach, Bill Morrison, Fernando Trueba, Wim Wenders, and appearances by Martin Scorsese, Barbara Rubin, Idrissa Ouédraogo, Ridley Scott, and Ousmane Sembene.
