2023-09-27 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | KY
Join the AIA for a fascinating evening as Elise A. Friedland (George Washington University) presents Classical Washington: Greece & Rome in the Art & Architecture of D.C.
This presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific.
Washington, D.C., is a city like no other in the United States. A Greek Doric temple (the Lincoln Memorial) sits at one end of the city’s central forum (The Mall), housing a colossal cult statue (Abraham Lincoln). A Roman triumphal arch monumentalizes the front of the main train depot (Union Station). Roman equestrian statues stand amidst circular plazas, celebrating victorious American generals (Andrew Jackson in Lafayette Plaza). This talk explores the role of Greek and Roman art and architecture in the planning, building and decorating of America’s capital city.

Dr. Nick Winters presents the AIA Chicago Society Annual Webster Lecture
Mechanically simple and mathematically sophisticated, the sundial was a triumph of ancient astronomy and technology. In this lecture and workshop, we will explore the diverse forms and functions of ancient sundials, as well as their social uses and political meanings. From rudimentary wall-dials to complex and highly precise instruments, and from the portable devices of soldiers to the great monuments of emperors, these artefacts illuminate much more than ancient methods of reckoning time: they are works of art, signs of power, and a record of one of humanity’s earliest searches for order in the universe. Each attendee will receive their own simple sundial making kit.
Admission is free of charge and open to all.

AIA Archaeology Hour with Anne Austin
2023-10-18 20:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | KY
Join the AIA for a fascinating evening as Anne Austin (University of Missouri, St. Louis) presents Ancient Ink: Discovering the Tattooed Women of Ancient Egypt.
This presentation will be given at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central/6pm Mountain/5pm Pacific.
Until recently, the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt was rarely attested with only scant evidence from a handful of mummified individuals spanning Pharaonic Egypt’s more than 3,000-year history. However, recent discoveries—including those from Deir el-Medina— have rewritten what was once thought about the practice. This talk coalesces physical and art historical evidence to offer some of the most comprehensive interpretations to date on the practice of tattooing in ancient Egypt.
CONTENT WARNING: This talk will include images of human remains.
