“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.
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.
Inspired by the exhibition entitled Unequal by Design: Housing in Georgia and America on display in the R. Harold Harrison Gallery, the Russell Library will host an event focusing on the future of housing in Athens. This event is free and open to the public. Free parking for off-campus visitors is available at the Hull Street Deck.
