Fabulous talk today by @catalinaospinaj on mopa mopa production in colonial Andean culture, especially her notes on cultures of orality and 18th cent. trade routes between South India, Manila, and New Spain. Can't wait for the book!

Just had such a good time chairing (with the wonderful Keren Hammerschlag) the @HBA_CAA panel at the @caavisual conference. Thanks to @JM_MStapleton, Ariel Kline, and Marsha McCoy for fab papers on "Britain in (and out of) Europe: Unity, Separation and the Arts of Leave-Taking"🇪🇺

It's been a privilege to be a panelist for "Victorian Otherwise" at #VictorianRadicals22 today. You may have missed superstars Morna O'Neill, Jongwoo Kim, Natalie Prizel, and Jason Rosenfeld, but there's still time for Anna Arabindan-Kesson's "Black Bodies, White Gold" at 3pm!

It's been an amazing day so far at #VictorianRadicals22 @TheFrickPgh with talks by Sutapa Biswas and emerging scholars. Stop by this afternoon if you want to tune in to hear about #WilliamOrpen and convex mirror citations! thefrickpittsburgh.org/Exhibition-Vic…

@amyplusthree Congratulations, what an achievement!

I have submitted my thesis! Celebrated with a weekend in Florence, visiting places and artworks I have studied and written about, but never before seen in person. Bellissimo!

These amazing images made an appearance. Issued by Japan’s Central Sanitary Bureau in the wake of the Influenza of 1918. Really could be reprinted today.

Taught Art/Pandemic to immunology students today and couldn't be happier. We had such fun talking about medical illustrations, from the CDC's "beauty shot" of COVID-19 (by Dan Higgins and Alissa Eckert) to W. Thornton Shiells's illustrations of the symptoms of the Spanish Flu.

So good to hear Edmund de Waal and Tim Barringer in conversation on Ruskin @WattsGallery. Even better, Edmund de Waal just said my essay on Ruskin and iron was great. Can I just give up the PhD and retire on that laurel now? "Unto This Last" closes at the Watts Nov 1!

Hugely excited to hear from Tim Barringer and Edmund de Waal talk about #JohnRuskin at tonight’s @WattsGallery talk!

Our exhibition, Unto This Last: Two Hundred Years of John Ruskin, concludes with an important work by New York-based contemporary artist Jorge Otero-Pailos, as part of his 'Ethics of Dust' series. Closing 1 November | Pre-book your timed admission: bit.ly/Unto-This-Last

Thrilled to be hosting Edmund de Waal & Professor Tim Barringer in conversation tomorrow evening at 6pm for @WattsGallery. Long time friends & collaborators, they will be talking about what John Ruskin means to them. Not to be missed! Last tickets here: wattsgallery.org.uk/whats-on/livin…

So thrilled about the return of Ruskin @WattsGallery on Monday! Look at all these amazing objects just waiting to be seen again...

What if every institution worked such calculations? How much, purely on the basis of historical financial gifts, would universities, museums, and cultural centers owe in reparation today? /3

The report shows this was an imperfect science: one limited to direct, monetary gifts and not encompassing those dividends reaped in the wake of abolition. But the end result was staggering: such financial gifts would total in today's money between £16.7m and £199m. /2

In 2018, Glasgow University published a study investigating the financial benefit they historically gained from slavery. They went through 2,700 endowments and donations to find which were given by those whose wealth came from slave labour and trade. /1 gla.ac.uk/media/Media_60…

...know that this silent position is not a neutral position. In this case, silence supports a status quo of historic and contemporary white supremacy—this moment, as brutal as it is, represents another chapter in the history of this nation rather than a new development." /2

"A first instinct that you might have now is to say nothing to the public or your workforce about the racism of this moment. Research finds that you might be wary of saying the wrong thing or of offending your colleagues. Before you decide to take the route of silence... /1
