Craftivism: Merging Science, Art and Policy for Global Change, Olin 101
(Academic)
|
Description: |
Dr. Katharine Owens will give an interactive talk about how change-makers can merge science, art, and policy to effect change on environmental issues of global importance. Dr. Owens has carried out numerous projects to collect and communicate data related to environmental issues to shape public policy. Her talk at Wofford is informed by her experiences in collaborative and participatory environmental advocacy with students and communities in the US and in India.
Dr. Owens is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics, Economics, and International Studies and Director of the University Interdisciplinary Studies program at the University of Hartford. She has undergraduate
degrees in biology, anthropology, and studio art and a masters degree in
environmental studies from the College of Charleston and a PhD in
governance and sustainability from the University of Twente, the Netherlands. In 2015, working under a grant from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration, she created a open source college course on marine
debris called Shore to Statehouse. In this experiential course,
students used scientific methods to collect and catalog debris from
Connecticut’s shoreline, and then shared the results with state-level policy
makers. In 2019, Owens spent six months in Thiruvananthapuram, India, with the Fulbright Nehru program. In her time there, she collaborate with students and faculty at the University of Kerala to gather and communicate local data about
the global issue of marine debris with politicians and policy makers. Under the
auspices of a National Geographic Explorer grant, she also brought one hundred
teachers from across India to Kerala for a training workshop in these
experiential teaching and policy-advocacy methods.

Art Exhibit: From Botticelli to Tintoretto, Richardson Family Art Museum
(Arts and Cultural (On Campus))
|
Description: |
From Botticelli to Tintoretto: Italian Renaissance Art from the Tobey and Bob Jones Collection. (Gallery talk by Dr. Nelda Damiano, Georgia Museum of art on March 25 at 7 p.m.)
This exhibition charts the dizzying speed with which Italian
Renaissance art developed between the late 15th and late 16th
century. Mixtures of Christian subjects and humanist imagery drawn from
antiquity are what one would expect from Renaissance art during this era.
However, the style shifts rapidly, and artistic daring encouraged by artists,
their patrons, and audiences manifest spatial and figural complexities
well-represented in these works, as well as varieties in their format and
media. Thanks to generous loans from David and Julie Tobey in New
York and the Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery in Greenville, Art History
students in Karen Goodchild’s Renaissance Art class will undertake research on
actual Renaissance works, and their semester-long projects will be presented in
late April and early May.

Artist’s statement: I remember writing the same sentence
hundreds of times over and over on paper. Ironically, I don’t remember what the
sentence said. It was probably three lines long, about something I did or said
that I shouldn’t have said or done. I was implanted on a park bench, facing
away from where the others dug holes to China and chased one another up the
slide. Luckily, by now I had learned how to escape into my own space. I
daydreamed about playing games and my stuffed animal penguins that waited for
me at home. I became an artist early, creating spaces that served as
distractions. My installation is an ode to this temporary refuge. My paintings
and sculptures exemplify the struggle of reentering the “real world.”

Artist’s statement: I remember writing the same sentence
hundreds of times over and over on paper. Ironically, I don’t remember what the
sentence said. It was probably three lines long, about something I did or said
that I shouldn’t have said or done. I was implanted on a park bench, facing
away from where the others dug holes to China and chased one another up the
slide. Luckily, by now I had learned how to escape into my own space. I
daydreamed about playing games and my stuffed animal penguins that waited for
me at home. I became an artist early, creating spaces that served as
distractions. My installation is an ode to this temporary refuge. My paintings
and sculptures exemplify the struggle of reentering the “real world.”
