ICMA members are invited to a three-part study event for the exhibitions Africa & Byzantium, Medieval Money, Merchants, and Morality, and Ethiopia at the Crossroads with exhibition curators at each museum. Attendees are responsible for booking their own travel and accommodations.
Friday 23 February, 1pm-5:30pm
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
Africa & Byzantium
Africa and Byzantium: Past, Present, and Future
Bonnie J. Sacerdote Lecture Hall, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education
What is African art? What is Byzantine art? The exhibition Africa & Byzantium presents the opportunity to examine these key questions. Join scholars as they share their perspectives on how definitions of African and Byzantine art overlap and diverge, how terms and perceptions have shifted over the past generation, and how we might develop frameworks that embrace complexity rather than assume a binary moving forward. For full schedule, more information, and to register, click HERE. All attendees must register via The Met’s website.
From 10:30am-12:15pm before the program, explore Egypt’s Red Monastery using a mixed reality experience developed by Interactive Commons at Case Western Reserve University. Register HERE
The Metropolitan Museum of Art is open until 9pm to view the exhibition.
