SUMMARY:Can Art Prevent War? A Discussion about the Power of Cultural Diplomacy
DESCRIPTION:With Barbara Stephenson (Vice Chancellor for Global Affairs and Chief Global Officer\, UNC-Chapel Hill) and Katie Ziglar (Director\, Ackland Art Museum) \nAt this free virtual panel\, Ackland director Katie Ziglar speaks with Vice Provost for Global Affairs and former diplomat Barbara Stephenson about the power of cultural diplomacy\, meditating on the provocative question\, “Can Art Prevent War?” Questions about the power of art in global affairs come implicit with the display of nearly seventy objects on view in the Museum’s current exhibition Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Masterworks from the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller 3rd Collection at Asia Society. The Rockefellers believed their collection of Asian Art — a portion of which can be seen at the Ackland this fall — would help facilitate cross-cultural dialogue and bolster diplomatic goals of the United States. On December 1\, join Ziglar and Stephenson for a lively conversation in which they share their perspectives — from the museum world and the world of U.S. diplomatic affairs — to explore the use of art in building cross-cultural connections and to comment on the Rockefellers’ goal of cultural diplomacy between the United States and Asia\, especially how it might work in today’s world. \nRegister below for this free Zoom webinar. Participants will be sent a link via email. \n— \nABOUT THE PANELISTS: \nBarbara J. Stephenson\, Vice Provost for Global Affairs and Chief Global Officer\, joined the University in 2019.

SUMMARY:Away for the Day: Mucha at NCMA
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a docent led tour of “Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau Visionary” at the North Carolina Musuem of Art. \nCzech-born Alphonse Mucha (1860–1939) was one of the most celebrated artists in Paris at the turn of the 20th century. As an influential force behind the art nouveau movement\, he created sumptuous posters and advertising—promoting such everyday products as cigarette papers and tea biscuits—that transformed the streets of Paris into open-air art exhibitions. Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau Visionary celebrates the Mucha Trust Collection’s first major U.S. tour in 20 years\, featuring a vast array of posters\, illustrations\, ornamental objects\, and rarely seen sculpture\, photographs\, and self-portraits. Additional works from the NCMA’s collection highlight the American interpretation of the European aesthetics that influenced Mucha as well as his close friendship with French sculptor Auguste Rodin. \nLearn more about NCMA here.
