Getting lost in Rome is a quintessential first encounter with the city, but how do we find our way back to the ancient modes of navigation, to a world without GPS, and even largely without maps or street signs?
Please join the Society of Fellows for a reception to welcome back the 2024 Rome Prize Fellows and Residents from our area.
Caroline Cheung (2017 Fellow) will discuss the importance of the largest type of pottery in the ancient world, dolia, for the Roman wine trade in her new book.
Hérica Valladares and Jennifer Coates will use Coates’s recent paintings as a jumping-off point to discuss the relevance of classical mythology to the contemporary depiction of landscapes.
Please join us for a free performance of the opera The Ritual of Breath Is the Rite to Resist at Damrosch Park in Lincoln Center, New York City.
Samuel Gruber (1987 Fellow) will describe how an entirely new field of study and preservation work has developed since he began his work thirty-five years ago.
Composers Kurt Rohde and Christopher Stark will discuss their experience creating recent works that were performed at two EPA Superfund sites in Brooklyn, as well as how nature and ecology influence their work more generally.
Edward Hirsch (2018 Resident) presents The Heart of American Poetry.
Rebecca Ammerman (1991 Fellow) will discuss her work with the North Urban Paestum Project, which seeks to expand our understanding of a sanctuary that boasts the innovate archaic Temple of Athena as its centerpiece.
