(both in-person & Zoom, 6 sessions)
Instructor: Kathleen Silverman, MacEwan University
Light Breakfast included
When you think of Canadian visual artists, who comes to mind? You are not alone if you thought of Tom Thompson and the Group of Seven. This cohort of painters came together to develop distinctly Canadian art to express the nation and its people. But while their pristine, untamed, empty wilderness works were exhibited and marketed to embody a Canadian identity, who and what was missing? In this lecture series, we will briefly examine the art of the Group of Seven, followed by a more in-depth exploration of the art of some of the group’s unheralded contemporaries, including women artists, Indigenous artists, and those from other regions of the country.

Entangled Relationships: Family and Individual in Chinese Literature and Film
2023-10-18 13:00 - 15:00 | The Centre, 10052-117 St. NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 1X2, Canada
(in-person only, 6 sessions)
Instructor: Chris Lupke, Professor, Faculty of Arts – East Asian Studies Dept, University of Alberta
Light Breakfast included
Families: we all have them. Some are great. Some are not. Family relationships seem like they would be part of a universal theme in literature and cinema. But in this seminar, as we will see, in Chinese culture the family takes on a preeminent role that makes all notions of individual identity subservient to it. Family, kinship, and intergenerational relations in Chinese society have been crucial topics for over three centuries. The modern era in China has seen a complete breakdown and reconstruction of what a family is. In less than 150 years, we have seen Chinese families change from complex, intertwined, webs of humans to nuclear structures separate from each other. Literature and film are wonderful examples of how this massive social phenomenon has unfolded in modern times.
