BETWEEN EAST AND WEST:
EXPLORING THE RIABOV COLLECTION OF RUSSIAN ART
|
|
Thursday, December 9 / 11 am to 12 noon
|
|
|
Zimmerli
members are invited to join Julia Tulovsky, PhD, Curator of Russian
and Soviet Nonconformist Art, as she discusses the museum’s George
Riabov Collection of Russian Art, showcasing Russia’s diverse
artistic heritage.
The Riabov Collection is the only public
collection in the United States that presents an overview of Russian
art from the 14th through 20th centuries. Works in all media capture
the styles and subjects that exemplify Russia’s rich history and
cultural development.
The Collection was generously gifted by
Rutgers alum George Riabov (1925–2013), in honor of his parents Basil
and Amelia Riabov. Over the years, it has grown through contributions
from many donors, including Ralph and Barbara Voorhees, Norton and
Nancy Dodge, Allan and Marion Maitlin, Schering Plough, the Class of
1954, and the Class of 1958.

VIRTUAL FILM SCREENING OF MOUNTAINS
THAT TAKE WING

Mountains
That Take Wing: Angela Y. Davis and Yuri Kochiyama, A Conversation on
Life, Struggles & Liberation offers
the gift of these two remarkable women’s lives, sharing the pair’s
recorded exchanges in 1996 and 2008. The film’s unique format honors
the scope and depth of their knowledge on topics ranging from Jim
Crow laws and Japanese American internment camps to Civil Rights,
anti-war, women’s and gay liberation movements to today’s campaigns
for political prisoners and prison reform. Intercut with compelling
period footage, Davis's and Kochiyama’s cogent observations, keen
analyses, and steadfast resolve to create a more equitable, humane
world offer inspiring lessons in empowerment and community building
for current and future generations.
The screening is followed by a conversation
between feminist and activist Jillian Montilla, who works with Pour
Nous, and Kelly Outing, community manager at =SPACE.
Free and open to the public. Please contact education@zimmerli.rutgers.edu for
Zoom registration information.
This program is organized in collaboration
with Paul Robeson Galleries Express Newark,
