SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: Color Triumphant in Silent Film
DESCRIPTION:Contrary to popular myth\, color didn’t arrive to the movies when Dorothy landed in Oz.  While Hollywood studios embraced black and white cinematography in the sound era\, reserving the use of the complex\, and expensive\, Technicolor for only its biggest productions\, filmmakers in the silent era embraced the use of color. Films were tinted using a range of colors\, with reds\, yellows\, blues\, greens\, and pinks used to signal the time of day\, the mood of the scene\, or highlight a special effect\, like a fierce fire. In some cases\, film makers hand-colored individual frames\, a labor-intensive process that could create a sense of natural color or underscore the unreality of early film. This program highlights color films made in the silent era (approx. 1895-1930). \nThe film will be introduced by Martin Johnson\, associate professor of English and Comparative Literature and associate director of Film Studies. \n  \nThis film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at the Chelsea Theater (1129 Weaver Dairy Rd Suite AB\, Chapel Hill\, NC). \nVisit the Chelsea Theater’s website linked above for pricing information; tickets are free for UNC-Chapel Hill students. UNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. Please note that this screening will be held at the Chelsea Theater\, which is not the usual film forum venue. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum on selected Tuesdays evenings this fall for Color Triumphant in Film\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Color Triumphant: Modern Art from Collection of Julian and Josie Robertson. While the natural world is full of color\, for filmmakers color is a choice. Recreating color in the cinema required expensive technologies\, careful attention to costumes and set design\, and an openness to experimentation. In this series\, we highlight how filmmakers have used color from the beginnings of the movies to tell stories. \nThe Ackland Film Forum is co-organized by the Ackland Art Museum and UNC Film Studies\, housed in the UNC-Chapel Hill Department of English and Comparative Literature.

SUMMARY:Ackland Film Forum: "Le Bonheur" (Agnès Varda\, 1965)
DESCRIPTION:One of the leading directors of the French New Wave\, Agnès Varda made her reputation with Cléo From 5 to 7 (1962)\, which tells the story of a singer who is waiting to receive test results that may indicate that she has cancer. But it’s Varda’s follow-up film\, Le Bonheur\, that actually creates a sense of foreboding\, as we watch a happily married young couple come unraveled through a series of events that are highly predictable until they aren’t. The bright\, overly saturated color in this film\, inspired by French impressionism\, accentuates the film’s eerie sensibility. \nThe film will be introduced by Martin Johnson\, associate professor of English and Comparative Literature and associate director of Film Studies. \n  \nThis film will be screened at 7:30 p.m. at the Chelsea Theater (1129 Weaver Dairy Rd Suite AB\, Chapel Hill\, NC). \nClick here for more information on theater pricing; tickets are free for UNC-Chapel Hill students. UNC-Chapel Hill students can receive CLE credit for attending by scanning the QR code at the event. \n  \nAbout the Series: \nJoin the Ackland Film Forum on selected Tuesday evenings this fall for Color Triumphant in Film\, a series that accompanies the Ackland exhibition Color Triumphant: Modern Art from Collection of Julian and Josie Robertson.

SUMMARY:Artist Conversation: Radical Ceramicists in North Carolina
DESCRIPTION:This program is now FULL. To be added to our WAITLIST\, please email acklandRSVP@unc.edu. \n  \n  \nJoin us for a lively artist conversation exploring themes of experimentation\, materiality\, and process in the work of North Carolina-based ceramic artists Jessica Dupuis (UNC-Pembroke; MFA ’10)\, Hitomi Shibata (Studio Touya\, Seagrove\, NC)\, and Isys Hennigar (BFA ’17) in the context of the innovative works by contemporary Japanese women artists on view in Radical Clay. The conversation will be moderated by the Ackland’s Head of Interpretive Resources Lillian Rodriguez\, part of the Museum’s Education and Interpretation Team. \n  \nSpace is limited; please register for a free ticket below! \n  \n— \n  \nAbout Radical Clay: Contemporary Women Artists from Japan \n  \nRadical Clay celebrates thirty-six contemporary ceramic artists — all women — represented by works selected from the private collection of Carol and Jeffrey Horvitz. All have explored the technical and conceptual possibilities of clay. The works in this exhibition are inventive and expressive\, at times mysterious or even shocking. The artists who created them are among the most technically accomplished contemporary ceramists. Some began their careers several decades ago while others started more recently — and over the past fifty years they have\, each in her distinctive way\, produced sculpture that pushes the physical limits of the medium. More about Radical Clay: https://ackland.org/exhibition/radical-clay-contemporary-women-artists-from-japan/.  \n  \nAbout the Artists \n  \nJessica Dupuis received her MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her BFA with a concentration in ceramics and print media from Alfred University. Dupuis exhibits her work regionally and nationally. She has been a resident artist at the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and Women’s Studio Workshop as well as a recipient of the International Sculpture Center’s Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award and an Ella Fountain Pratt Emerging Artists Grant from the Durham Arts Council. She is an Associate Professor of Art – Ceramics & A.D. Gallery Director at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke. More about Dupuis: https://www.jessicadupuis.com/.  \n  \nIsys Hennigar‘s work explores myth and narrative surrounding the body and the natural world. Referencing agricultural practice\, mythology\, and medicine\, the work considers systems of sustenance and healing\, cultural and ecological legacies of land cultivation\, and dualities of the body. In dialogue with clay’s metaphorical relationship to the body\, as well as with histories of metal adornment and objects of protection\, her work invokes real and reimagined ecological encounters that underscore transformation and hybridity as tools of renewal. Hennigar received her BFA from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and her MFA from the University of Georgia. Exhibitions of her work include Signature Contemporary Craft (Atlanta\, GA)\, Sow & Tailor Gallery (Los Angeles\, CA)\, The American Museum of Ceramics (Pomona\, CA)\, and the North Carolina Museum of Art (Raleigh\, NC). She is currently in residence as the 2025 Brightwork Fellow at Anchorlight in Raleigh\, NC. More about Hennigar: https://www.isyshennigar.com/. \n  \nHitomi Shibata creates ceramic works from natural clays\, using wood firing in her process\, giving them a sustainable energy and life. Shibata started learning ceramic art in Okayama\, Japan as a college student\, and after graduation moved to Shigaraki which is one of the oldest Japanese pottery towns. She lived and established her skill and knowledge as a professional potter in Shigaraki. Shibata received a scholarship by Rotary International to come to the USA to learn American ceramics in 2001. Now living in Seagrove\, North Carolina\, which is the most active pottery communities in USA\, she enjoys making pots in her studio. Shibata does wood firings with her husband\, Takuro Shibata by their Anagama plus chamber kiln that they built in 2009. More about Shibata: https://www.studiotouya.com/hitomi-shibata.

SUMMARY:2nd Friday ArtWalk: Opening Reception for “Jen Clay: Soft Night\, Watching”
DESCRIPTION:Join the Ackland in celebrating the newest installation in our ART& space\, Jen Clay: Soft Night\, Watching\, on view from August 8\, 2025\, through July 12\, 2026. \nSoft Night\, Watching\, is an interactive quilted installation that invites viewers to experience an evening forest scene filled with uncanny forms and figures. Artist Jen Clay (American\, born 1985) utilizes the tactile properties of her hand-dyed cotton\, satin\, velvet\, and polyester minky fabric to create art that welcomes physical handling. Into these textiles\, she constructs flaps that hide ambiguous phrases like “You’ll always be mine\,” and “It will never be like this again” – statements that can seem optimistic or menacing. Clay combines the soft textures\, the text\, and the not-quite-familiar forms to inspire both comfort and unease. \nClay uses the strangeness of an archetypal forest as a metaphor for the sense of unfamiliarity and disorientation that can accompany mental health experiences such as hallucinations. She writes\, “I aim to confront and understand fear and anxiety\, both for myself and others. My work allows individuals to touch\, hear\, and immerse themselves in a safe space to experience uncertainty.” \nDuring the 2nd Friday ArtWalk\, we will be celebrating with drinks and snacks. Clay will be onsite to talk with attendees\, as well as make some informal remarks and answer the crowd’s questions about her artwork around 7PM. \nJoin us for an evening honoring Jen Clay and welcoming the installation to our community. \nRSVP is required. Each person RSVPing may claim a drink ticket (non-alcoholic or alcoholic); ID will be checked at the bar. \n
