I don\u2019t know where paradise is. An artist talk with Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will begin with Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay\u2019s performance lecture The Five Ages<\/em>, a floral archaeology that explores the symbolic relationships between human history and plant life, specifically within the context of a queer aesthetics. Nemerofsky selects five flowers to symbolize distinct moments in the history of El Dorado, referencing both its incarnation as interwar Berlin nightclub and early 80s art exhibition, as well as its general application as a legendary, faraway site of utopian longing. The flowers stand in a ceramic vase designed by the artist to provide each flower with its own distinct opening. The artist arranges the flowers to interact contrapuntally, creating a bouquet of colliding and overlapping temporalities. The performance will be followed by a conversation between the artist and History\u2019s Jennifer Evans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shannon Lecture Series for 2017<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History Department\u2019s Shannon Lecture Series for 2017, will commence on September 22, 2017. This year\u2019s lecture series looks at Expo 67 as the highlight of Canada\u2019s centennial. A world\u2019s fair held in Montreal, it dazzled the world with its daring architecture, innovative exhibits, and high-minded theme, \u201cMan and His World.\u201d Many Canadians regarded it as Canada\u2019s coming-out party, a moment when the young nation burst into the international limelight and strutted its stuff to universal acclaim. Substitute \u201cQuebec\u201d or \u201cIndigenous Peoples\u201d for \u201cCanada\u201d in the previous sentence and it would be equally true \u2013 Expo 67 was a rich, multivalent spectacle that generated diverse messages. In Canada\u2019s 150th<\/sup> anniversary year, the 杏吧原创 Department of History is revisiting Expo 67 to reflect upon the meaning of it all. A select group of lecturers will address key topics such as Expo\u2019s intellectual origins, how it became a proud emblem of modernization for both Canadian and Quebec nationalists, its impact on Indigenous rights and culture, and its iconic stature in the histories of architecture and cinema. X out the dates in your calendar to experience exposition by Expo experts that will expand your mind exponentially.
