SUMMARY:Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red (Online Exhibit Spotlight) / Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo (Exposición en Línea)
DESCRIPTION:Cochineal\, a tiny insect found on certain species of Oaxacan cacti\, was harvested for millennia by Indigenous peoples to dye fabrics a vibrant red color. But following the European invasion of the Americas in the sixteenth century\, it became a widely coveted\, globally traded commodity that transformed textiles and art\, and made Mexico a center for technological innovation. Cochineal: How Mexico Made the World See Red explores how this Indigenous technology changed the world\, becoming an international symbol of power\, while simultaneously disenfranchising its discoverers. \nLa cochinilla\, un diminuto insecto que se encuentra en ciertas especies de cactus oaxaqueños\, fue cosechada durante milenios por los pueblos indígenas para teñir las telas de un vibrante color rojo. Pero tras la invasión europea de las Américas en el siglo XVI\, se convirtió en un producto ampliamente codiciado y comercializado a nivel mundial que transformó los tejidos y el arte\, y convirtió a México en un centro de innovación tecnológica. Cochinilla: Cómo México Hizo que el Mundo Viera el Rojo explora cómo esta tecnología indígena cambió el mundo\, convirtiéndose en un símbolo internacional de poder\, al tiempo que privaba de derechos a sus descubridores.

SUMMARY:The Odyssey: A Retelling
DESCRIPTION:The Parthenon and Centennial Park Conservancy are proud to present The Odyssey: A Retelling\, by Lisa Bachman Jones in the East Gallery of the Parthenon from June 23 through January 8. \nJones is a Nashville-based artist interested in entropy and interconnectivity. Working across disciplines\, she investigates the everyday through a lens of care. \nIn preparation for A Retelling Jones read Emily Wilson’s 2017 translation of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. The exhibition highlights the hospitality of the overlooked identities that made Odysseus’ long journey home possible. The body of work incorporates a wide range of media and techniques\, which echoes the number of communities\, locations\, actions and objects that paved the way for the classic homecoming. \nReflecting on the exhibit Jones notes the significance of the gallery’s location within the Parthenon\, which prompted the concept for A Retelling. The Parthenon in Athens\, Greece was a place for offering thanks to and soliciting help from Athena. The goddess is a constant in the poem; orchestrating events and guiding encounters. This body of work presents an opportunity to reflect upon those who we receive support from and those to whom we extend our support. \nThank you to the Sandra Schatten Foundation\, Tennessee Arts Commission\, National Endowment for the Humanities\, Memorial Foundation\, Jackson\, Humanities Tennessee\, Metro Parks\, and Centennial Park Conservancy for underwriting the Parthenon’s exhibition and educational programming. The content of Parthenon exhibitions do not necessarily represent the views of our partners and underwriters.

SUMMARY:The late Roman estate of Philippianus: recent excavations at Gerace near Enna (Sicily)
DESCRIPTION:Gerace is a Roman estate centre in the heart of Sicily which the speaker has been excavating since 2013. A substantial estate granary\, built c. 300 CE but violently destroyed\, probably by earthquake\, was succeeded by a compact Roman villa in the late fourth century\, which had been equipped with some mosaic pavements but appears unfinished. Ubiquitous tile-stamps recording the name of Philippianus indicate the identity of the estate owner at that time. Further up the hill a substantial freestanding bath-house\, built perhaps c. 380 CE\, was decorated with polychrome marble on the walls and geometric mosaics on the floors; but this structure was systematically stripped of its building materials (and the floors smashed) when the baths were decommissioned in the fifth century – an interesting example of Roman recycling. The one room with an intact floor was the cold room\, which had a unique mosaic design\, and an inscription around all four sides\, uniquely so in the Roman Empire. Among other things it gives us the property’s name – the praedia Philippianorum\, ‘the estate of the Philippiani’. The bath-house was badly damaged in a further earthquake in the second half of the fifth century\, and after a brief attempt to repair it the building was abandoned and filled in; the backfill contained many interesting finds\, including a series of chamber pots. The number of horse bones found at the site is greater than at any Roman site in the Mediterranean: so could there have been a stud farm at Gerace\, raising ponies for the circuses of the Roman world?
