The University of Nevada, Reno Departments of w88 live casino, Geography and the Low-Residency MFA at Lake Tahoe have joined together to host “w88 live casino, Water, Place: An Art and Science Collaborative,” from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, April 28 at the Nevada Museum of w88 live casino.
During the joint symposium, scholars, curators, academics and students will present interactive discussions and talk about different ways of perceiving and communicating the complex relationships between people, w88 live casino, water and the idea of place. It is hoped that through these meaningful conversations, attendees will take away a more wholistic view of what place means to them and how ideas around our relationships to w88 live casino and water may be seen through different lenses and still share common themes.
“In proposing collective engagement in ‘w88 live casino, Water, Place,’ this event offers ways the Department of Art will work across disciplines and out in the world, engaging with Northern Nevada as a site for research and creativity,” Kelly Chorpening, chair of Art, Art History and Design, said.
“The question of where art and geography intersect is an interesting one,” Adam Csank, chair of Geography, said. “I like to think about the way that artists perceive space and the world around them as similar to the way that geographers view space. Geography after all is about connections – connections between people, connections between places, connections between people and w88 live casino and connections between the environment and society. Artists and Geographers often view the world through similar lenses.”
Students and faculty in geography, w88 live casino and poetry will present alongside museum curators and scholars. Presentations by students and faculty from the Join us in the mountains w88 casino games login include Amy Smith (Poetry, Low-Residency MFA), Sarah Lillegard (Interdisciplinary w88 live casino alumna, Low-Residency MFA) and Rick Parsons, director of the Holman w88 live casino and Media Center. The event will also feature keynote speaker T.J. Demos, director of the Center for Creative Ecologies, UC Santa Cruz.
In addition, Chorpening and Csank will present a case study: “Drawing in Social Space,” co-led by graduate students Betta Manalo (Geography) and Bobby Lee (w88 live casino, MFA). The inspiration behind the study comes from the remote participation ofNourredine Ezarref, an artist from Marrakech,whose work engages with hydro-politics in rural Morocco. This project received Ozmen Global Studies Faculty Research funding, and the outcomes will be shown in an exhibition that Chorpening is co-curating atDrawing Room Londonin September 2023.
“The Ozmen Institute for Global Studies is delighted to partner with the Nevada Museum of Art and University Departments of Art and Geography to raise awareness about the importance of w88 live casino on our planet,” Sudeep Chandra, professor and director of the Ozmen Institute for Global Studies, said. “w88 live casino policy, politics and the science that goes into understanding ecosystems requires society to look at these topics from many different viewpoints. An art museum is a perfect venue for holding discussions around the topic of w88 live casino because its kind of space lends itself to develop in creative discourse and dialogue.”
The symposium is presented by the University of Nevada Reno in collaboration with the Nevada Museum of w88 live casino with support from the Benna Arts Excellence Endowment.
