Advisory — Speak with art historian Dr. Anne Dymond in advance of her PUBlic Professor Series talk
The mobilization of Canada’s art and museums for political purposes has long been a tool utilized by the governments that fund them.
On Thursday, Sept. 25, 7 to 9 p.m. at the Galt Museum & Archives, Dr. Anne Dymond will examine how governments have used art as a means of diplomacy, acting as a bridge that connects nations across challenging divides. Her PUBlic Professor Series talk is entitled, From a Communist Doctor to Madonna’s Cone Bra: Museums and Cultural Diplomacy in Troubled Times.
WHAT: Media availability for Dr. Anne Dymond
WHEN: Thursday, Sept. 18, 11 a.m.
WHERE: University Theatre Lobby, University Centre for the Arts
As many media members are unable to attend the evening PUBlic Professor Series talks, this is an opportunity to speak to Dr. Dymond about her work.
Dymond will give a second presentation of her talk on Thursday, Oct. 2, at the Esker Foundation in Calgary.
