Art History
“We constantly urge the nation-state to honor grievance claims. However, if we imagine our relatives not as subjects of the state but as the protagonists of a star story, or of a modern-day migration from the country to the city, to the in-between places, it changes the energy of the experiences that fill the spaces of our lives. They fill with love, energy, power, and self-determination. That is este-cate sovereignty, and it is a form of sovereignty that those who labor for freedom can embrace.” - Laura Harjo
All communities are teeming with energy, spirit, and knowledge. In Spiral to the Stars, geographer Laura Harjo activates this dynamism to discuss Indigenous community planning from a Mvskoke (Muscogee) perspective. Harjo weaves Mvskoke narratives throughout the text, vividly demonstrating that theories come from lived and felt experiences, and that Mvskoke communities have what they need to dream, imagine, speculate, and activate the wishes of ancestors, contemporary kin, and future relatives.…

Theater Emory: Peerless
Theater Emory
Theater Emory 2025-2026 Season
$20 | Emory Students Free
In this darkly funny satire, twin Asian American sisters, brilliant, ambitious, and inseparable, have dedicated their lives to gaining admission to “The College.” However, when the coveted early decision spot is awarded to someone else, the competition turns deadly. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Peerless offers a razor-sharp exploration of academic pressure, identity, and the lengths we’ll go for success. Wickedly clever and bitingly relevant, this play delves into the heart of ambition with humor, horror, and a candid examination of what it takes to win.
Content Notice: This production contains incidents of racism, ableism, death, simulated physical violence, sexualized content, fire, and body shaming. Recommended parking for Schwartz Center events is the Fishburne Parking Deck (free for events after 6 p.m. and on weekends).

In this darkly funny satire, twin Asian American sisters, brilliant, ambitious, and inseparable, have dedicated their lives to gaining admission to “The College.” However, when the coveted early decision spot is awarded to someone else, the competition turns deadly. Inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth, Peerless offers a razor-sharp exploration of academic pressure, identity, and the lengths we’ll go for success. Wickedly clever and bitingly relevant, this play delves into the heart of ambition with humor, horror, and a candid examination of what it takes to win.
Content Notice: This production contains incidents of racism, ableism, death, simulated physical violence, sexualized content, fire, and body shaming. Recommended parking for Schwartz Center events is the Fishburne Parking Deck (free for events after 6 p.m. and on weekends).

Art History
Photography has since its inception been defined in relation to other media. In 1834, five years before the public announcement of the invention of the daguerreotype, Henry Fox Talbot was experimenting with what he called "photogenic drawings," literally sketches produced by light. From the 19th century onward, photography was regularly compared to painting. In 1981, Peter Galassi famously sought to settle the debate with his MoMA exhibition arguing that photography was "the legitimate child of the Western pictorial tradition." Scholars have discussed photography's affinity to sculpture in their shared desire to visualize three-dimensionality, and enable reproducibility. What if photography’s history was entangled with that of textile? Which artists, techniques, and aesthetics would become visible?
Expanding from previous research on portraiture and photography in Senegal, Giulia Paoletti, associate professor in the Department of Art at the University of Virginia and visiting associate professor in the Depar…

Laszlo-Excalibur Lecture: A Conversation with Emily Hauser, author of Penelope's Bones
Art History
Achilles. Agamemnon. Odysseus. Hector. The lives of these and many other men in the greatest epics of ancient Greece have been pored over endlessly in the past three millennia. But these are not just tales about heroic men. There are scores of women as well—complex, fascinating women whose stories have gone unexplored for far too long.
Join the Carlos for a conversation between award-winning classicist and historian Emily Hauser and Curator of Greek and Roman Art Ruth Allen, as they discuss Hauser’s most recent publication Penelope’s Bones: A New History of Homer’s World through the Women Written Out of It, in which Hauser weaves together literary and archaeological evidence, illuminating the rich, intriguing lives of the real women behind Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey.
Unearthing the richly textured lives of women in Bronze Age Greece—the era of Homer’s heroes, we come to understand the everyday lives and experiences of the real women who stand behind the legends of Helen, Briseis, Cassandra, Aphrodite, Circe,…

Striking Characters: Typewriters, Literary Worlds, and the Art of Tim Youd (daily exhibition)
Libraries
“Striking Characters: Typewriters, Literary Worlds, and the Art of Tim Youd” explores how the typewriter reshaped storytelling, literature, and art over two centuries. The exhibition brings together diverse works – from a draft of “The Wiz” and a first edition of “Dracula” to protest flyers and Tim Youd’s retyped diptychs – showing the typewriter as a force for creativity, cultural change, and political resistance. Drawing on Rose Library archives and Youd’s art, it traces the typewriter’s impact on the 20th century and beyond. Multiple typewriters from different decades will be on display as well. Youd will give live performances at the typewriter from 1–5 p.m. every Sunday-Friday, Sept. 19 – Oct. 17. The exhibition and the performances are free and open to the public. Live musical performances will be added one day a week in the near future as Youd types; calendar entries will be updated when that happens. Exhibitions dates: Daily Aug. 27 – Dec. 20, 2025.

Emory Jazz Combos and Big Band features Emory University Jazz students under the direction of Gary Motley, Randy Hunter, Chris Riggenbach, and Penelope Williams.
The Emory Jazz Combos give students an opportunity to explore many facets of improvisation in a small group setting. Usually consisting of five to eight members, the primary focus of these groups is on gaining experience in improvising and soloing for each participant. Our groups promote individual expression as well as group interaction and cohesiveness. These ensembles regularly perform for many events both on and off campus.
The Emory Big Band gives students an opportunity to develop their performance skills in a large ensemble setting. Performance literature ranges from traditional big band music to works by many of today's composers and arrangers. In addition to annual performances, the big band is regularly showcased during the Emory Jazz Fest.
