Spurlock Museum Guild Lecture and Performance Series: Maya Images: 1978 to 1986
Sunday, November 16, 2014 - 2:00pm to Monday, November 17, 2014 - 1:45pm
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., Urbana, IL
{ visual arts, history & heritage }

In celebration of the exhibit Artists of the Loom: Maya Weavers of Guatemala, guest curator Margot Blum Schevill and ethnographic photographer Jeffrey Jay Foxx will present a program of reflection upon images, memories, and knowledge gained in more than three decades of work among the Maya. As Jeffery states: "My mission has been to document the Maya and their way of life, not to turn them into my art form. That said, I tend to show the moments of beautiful light and gesture."

This event is sponsored by the Spurlock Museum Guild Performance and Lecture Series in honor of the World Heritage Museum Guild.

Fans and Dance: Cultural Traditions around the World
Saturday, December 6, 2014 - 2:00pm to Sunday, December 7, 2014 - 1:45pm
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., Urbana, IL
{ visual arts, dance, film & video, history & heritage, music }

Hand-held fans are a very important accompaniment to many dances, and they often tell stories, celebrate traditions, express religious beliefs, and pass on histories. During this presentation by "fan fancier" Robin Goettel, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the geography and cultural use of fans, as we explore ethnic dances incorporating fans in their tradition. Beautiful dance videos will be shown, including Flamenco, Balinese, Korean, Eskimo, and many others. After the presentation, the audience can view fans from Ms. Goettel's collection.
