Join us online for a conversation between ceramic artist Magdalene Odundo DBE and organising Curator, Helen Ritchie, who will discuss Magdalene Odundo in Cambridge.
As we take in the splendour and beauty of the gold artefacts from the Great Steppe, we can’t help but wonder about their prehistoric makers and users: Where did they obtain the precious metal? What tools and techniques did they employ to turn it into the elaborate artefacts we admire today? How did they learn their skills? Were these objects used in life, or made for the dead? Scientific analyses provide some answers but also raise new questions.
Speaker biography:
Join Rebecca Roberts, Curator of Gold of the Great Steppe, for an online talk introducing the exhibition, its themes and highlight objects.
Soon after the Greek Revolution, the Acropolis was cleared of its Medieval buildings. Byzantine icons too were shunned, even in University Museum collections. This lecture touches on icons in the Fitzwilliam but focuses on the fate of one icon in the Yale University Art Museum, acquired in 1871, but hidden in its storeroom until now.
Three artists using clay, Jayne Ivimey, Elspeth Owen and Mella Shaw, talk about their upcoming group exhibition Breaking Point: fragility in clay and nature which is on show at the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge
