Discussion

Change the Subject
The documentary Change the Subject explores the ways that politics can enter a library catalog, and shows what libraries can do about it.

[Note that this event has shifted to an earlier time.] From the film’s producers:

Special Collections After Hours: Dissecting the Human Body in the Renaissance

Copper-plate engraving of a "muscle man" from Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564). De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (Basel: Johannes Oporinus, 1543).

The visual representation of human anatomy in the Renaissance was the fruit of an extraordinary partnership between physicians and artists. You are all invited to explore a great variety of early printed books containing illustrations of the human body that reflect the science of dissection as well as the latest artistic theories. The display will include richly illustrated treatises by well-known authors such as Leonardo da Vinci and Andreas Vesalius.

A member of the Oneida Nation, her work blurs ethnography and poetry and tackles issues of identity, representation, and belonging.
