SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Saving the Archaeology and Monuments of Lower Nubia
DESCRIPTION:Beginning in 1902\, the archaeological sites and monuments of Lower Nubia were increasingly threatened by the construction of the series of dams on the Nile River at Aswan. By the early 1960s\, the ancient land of Lower Nubia had vanished forever beneath the waters of Lake Nasser. Through international efforts\, some of the cultural heritage of Lower Nubia was saved (including monuments like the temples of Abu Simbel and Philae); most other sites\, such as the fortress of Buhen\, a focus of work for the Penn Museum\, were destroyed. This talk will examine these sites\, the program of rescue archaeology\, and the role of the Penn Museum in rescuing the archaeological heritage of Lower Nubia. \nSpeaker: Josef Wegner\, Associate Professor of Egyptian Archaeology\, Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Curator\, Egyptian Section\, Penn Museum

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: Marshland of Cities: Lagash and its Neighbors ca. 2500 BCE
DESCRIPTION:The earliest cities in the world arose in a dynamic wetland environment at the intersection of the Tigris-Euphrates delta and the shore of the Persian Gulf during the 4th- and 3rd-millennia BCE. Recent work at the site of Lagash\, led by the Penn Museum\, in collaboration with the University of Pisa and Cambridge University\, focuses on reconstructing the ancient environment of southern Iraq through remote sensing\, geological coring\, and excavation. This illustrated lecture will bring this formative chapter of human history to life through an overview of this work to date\, including geological\, ethnographic\, and archaeological evidence. \nSpeakers: Holly Pittman\, Bok Family Professor in the Humanities; Professor\, History of Art; Director\, Lagash Archaeological Project and Curator\, Near East Section\, Penn Museum and Reed C Goodman\, Ph.D. Candidate in the Art and Archaeology of the Mediterranean World.

SUMMARY:Great Lecture: North American Mounds as World Heritage
DESCRIPTION:A millennium ago\, Native people constructed over 120 earthen mounds at the site of Cahokia\, a World Heritage site in Illinois. Built entirely by hand\, the largest of these constructions towered 100 feet over a city that was more densely populated than the contemporary medieval city of London. Over two thousand years before Cahokia’s construction\, Native people in Louisiana built Poverty Point\, another World Heritage site\, and one of the only earthwork complexes that rivals Cahokia’s size and complexity–and they did so without agriculture or permanent settlements. These sites highlight the incredible engineering ability of ancient Americans\, and remind us that we don’t need a passport to visit sites of outstanding universal value. \nSpeaker: Megan C. Kassabaum\, Associate Professor\, Department of Anthropology\, UPenn

SUMMARY:Great Lectures: Teotihuacan: Rome of the Ancient Americas
DESCRIPTION:Around 100 CE\, a huge metropolis began to emerge in the Basin of Mexico\, one the Aztecs would later call Teotihuacan\, or “Birthplace of the Gods.” It quickly came to dominate the region\, and\, with its completely new urban grid-plan\, contained as many as 150\,000 people. Its two gigantic buildings\, the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon\, were surrounded by smaller temples\, plazas\, and a thousand or more apartment compounds. They were all once richly painted in dazzling colors and complex designs depicting twisting feathered serpents\, prowling jaguars\, storm gods and water goddesses\, priests\, warriors\, and lords. But its history has long been a mystery\, and we are only now beginning to understand its importance and impact on ancient Mesoamerica. \nSpeaker: Simon Martin\, Associate Curator and Keeper in the American Section\, Penn Museum and Adjunct Associate Professor Anthropology\, UPenn

SUMMARY:Stolen Legacy: A Conversation with the Artist and Curator
DESCRIPTION:Adult Events \nIn partnership with internationally-renowned artist\, composer\, and educator Hannibal Lokumbe\, the Penn Museum presents Stolen Legacy\, a libretto and musical commentary on the removal of art from the African continent. This provocative piece responds to how\, in Lokumbe’s own words\, “the exchange of money for art created expressly for the spiritual maintenance of a tribe and/or nation can create a lasting physiological wound to the culture from which it was removed.” He adds that “nowhere is this more evident than in the case of African art.” This program is part of the Museum’s own reflective process about our institutional history\, which is tied to colonialist and racist narratives\, and our work to reconcile our past with restorative practices. \nBe a part of this ongoing conversation about the history of museums and about ethical stewardship of the legacy of the past. \nAs part of a multi-tiered experience that includes classroom visits and a free public performance\, join Hannibal Lokumbe\, composer/author of Stolen Legacy\, for a conversation about the the intersections of art\, the cultural legacy of colonialism\, and monetary exchange\, open to both University of Pennsylvania students and the general public at the Penn Museum on January 13 at 3 pm. Dr. Tukufu Zuberi\, Curator of our Africa Galleries and Lasry Family Professor of Race Relations in Penn’s Sociology Department\, will facilitate the discussion between the artist and the audience. \nAbout Hannibal Lokumbe \nClassic composer and jazz trumpeter Hannibal Lokumbe (né Marvin Peterson) has been celebrating and commemorating the African-American experience through music and words for over four decades. Lokumbe’s work has been commissioned and performed by symphonies and orchestras across the country\, including the Philadelphia Chamber Orchestra\, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra\, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra \, and the Philadelphia Orchestra. His oratorio “African Portraits” has been performed over two hundred times by orchestras across America since its Carnegie Hall debut in 1990\, and was recorded with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Daniel Barenboim. He has received numerous fellowships and awards\, including from the NEA\, and is a Lifetime Inductee to the Harlem Jazz Hall of Fame.
