Curatorial Talk: Insistent Presence
Art History
Celebrate the opening of special exhibition Insistent Presence: Contemporary African Art from the Chazen Collection with a lecture from curator Margaret Nagawa.
Drawn from the collections of the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Insistent Presence features works of sculpture, painting, ceramics, and printmaking by 24 artists who have lived and work on the African continent and in the diaspora. The exhibition examines how artists have reimagined the human figure to pose questions about social and political histories, contested identities, and a possible future for how we relate to one another. The artists in the exhibition think about twenty-first-century ways of being in the world and invite us to reflect on ourselves, our relationships, and the worlds we inhabit.
This event is free and open to the public, and registration is required. Insistent Presence: Contemporary African Art from the Chazen Collection was organized by the Chazen Museum of Art at the University of…

"Fragments And" Art Exhibition: An Exhibition Of Work By Lynne Huffer
"Fragments And" An Exhibition Of Work By Lynne Huffer
Free event, open to public, register here: https://www.thebakeryatlanta.com/exhibitions
Lynne Huffer’s gallery installation of fragments on zigzagging lines is conceived as a living collage, inviting viewers into an experimental, collaborative, immersive practice. Created as an installation for survival, Fragments And accompanies Huffer’s hybrid-style collage book, These Survivals: Autobiography of an Extinction, available for purchase at the exhibit. Fragments And displays Huffer’s experiments in analog collage around the theme of extinction and the clash of intimate time with geological time. When thinking of extinction, we fall into a sense of planetary time; the feeling that all is both individual and collective, inviting solitary practices amidst communal life. In that spirit, the exhibit invites its viewers to contribute to the installation by making their own fragments to add to the lines. The goal of this parallel play is to harness the childlike…

Beloved British actor Paterson Joseph brings his debut novel to life! The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho, named one of NPR's Books We Love, is a lush and immersive tale of adventure, artistry, romance, and freedom set in eighteenth-century England and based on a true story. How does a man born on a slave ship go on to meet the king, write highly acclaimed music, become the first Black person to vote in Britain, and lead the fight to end slavery?

Carlos Reads: I Am Still With You
Michael C. Carlos Museum
After years of living in New York, author Emmanuel Iduma tells the story of his return to Nigeria. He traveled home with an elusive mission: to learn the fate of his uncle Emmanuel, his namesake, who disappeared in the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s. A conflict that left so many families broken, the war remains at the margins of the history books, almost taboo to discuss. To find answers, Iduma stopped in city after city reconnecting with relatives dear and distant, to probe their memories, prowling university libraries to furtively photocopy illicit books, and visiting half-abandoned monuments along the highway. Perhaps, he realized, if he could understand how his father grieved the loss of a brother in the war, he might learn how to grieve his late father in turn.
Led by TK Smith, curator of the Arts of Africa and the Africa Diaspora, participants will discuss Iduma’s story of family history and legacy, and all the questions the dead leave unanswered. How much of his identity is wrapped up in this…

My Foot My Tutor is a wordless, surreal performance that explores control, routine, and resistance through movement, silence, and sound. This bold theatrical experiment invites you to lean in, observe, and interpret for yourself as two masked men navigate a bizarre domestic world where power is physical, time is warped, and meaning hides in every gesture.

Artist Talk: Gonçalo Mabunda
Art History
Join artist Gonçalo Mabunda (Mozambique) for an artist talk about his work that explores the collective memory of his country and its transition from war to the absence of violence and ultimately to peace. Gonçalo was commissioned to transform weapons of war such as AK47s, rocket launchers, and pistols into objects of beauty which were used in Mozambique’s truth and reconciliation journey. His method of choice was and remains anthropomorphization of weapons to channel the multiplicity of human feelings released by the peace process. Gonçalo’s thrones and sculptures are held in many major museums and institutions across the globe.
This talk is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Peace, Reconciliation and the Potential for Transformation, at aKAZ!ATL opening October 5, 2025, and Insistent Presence: Contemporary African Art from the Chazen Collection at the Carlos Museum, on view September 13 - December 14, 2025.

Patricio Guzmán’s The Battle of Chile documents the period of sociopolitical tumult leading up to the military coup that overthrew the Salvador Allende’s socialist government. Part 1 focuses on widespread discontent surrounding Allende’s 1973 reelection. Through street interviews, factory protests, and union hall meetings, Guzman assembles a panorama of unrest, culminating in a scene of violence not only witnessed but experienced first-hand when ph…

Emory Visual Arts Gallery presents: Lindsay Burke - Quick Split
The Emory Visual Arts Gallery is pleased to present Quick Split, an exhibition of paintings by Brooklyn-based artist Lindsay Burke.
Free exhibit, open to public
Burke’s paintings approach the human body as both image and structure, a ground where personal, cultural, and formal questions converge. Her work moves between the poetic and the schematic, presenting the figure as something at once familiar and estranged.
Referencing art history, industrial design, and architectural drawing, Burke places the body in a constant state of negotiation. Forms slip between abstraction and representation, echoing the ways identity is assembled, performed, and dissolved. Figures often appear on the edge of transformation—mechanical and organic, vulnerable and resilient—framing the body as a site of emotional intensity, political tension, and imaginative possibility.
Surface and structure hold equal weight in her practice. Expansive painterly passages give way to exacting line, underscoring the instability of perception. Fe…

In a dystopian future, America has succumbed to a totalitarian military regime that pacifies the population by sponsoring a deadly transcontinental car race. Racers compete in ridiculously tricked-out buggies and score points by killing pedestrians. In the 20th anniversary race, five racers hit the road, including leather bondage suit-clad, Frankenstein (David Carradine) and tommygun-toting Chicago gangster, Joe Viterbo (Sylvester Stallone).

Carlos Reads: The Gathering of Bastards
Michael C. Carlos Museum
A collection of poems that chronicle the movement of migrants as they navigate borders both internal and external— in this extended edition of his award-winning Nomad, Romeo Oriogun writes verses with vulnerability and sharp intelligence, the poet himself the perpetual migrant on forced journeys that take him across nations in West and North Africa, Europe, and American cities.
Nathan Suhr-Sytsma, associate professor in the Department of English and core faculty member of the Institute for African Studies, will lead a discussion of the award-winning The Gathering of Bastards, exploring the lyrical poetry that navigates borders, the challenges of living through terror and loss, and wrestling with the meaning of home.
Space is limited and registration is required.
Fee: $25 for members, $35 for nonmembers. The cost of the program includes a copy of the book.
“‘I walk alone, trying to find / the whisper of roads, trying to sieve through water / the haunting’ writes Romeo Oriogun in the book that is…

And this is where the trouble begins. The wannabe robbers take the bank employ…

Carlos Reads: Spiral to the Stars
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.…

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.

Entangled Histories: Photography and Textile in Africa
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…

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.

Music
2025–2026 Emory Department of Music, Free Event/No Tickets Required
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.

The Emory Cinematheque: Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Film Screening - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Free event and open to public
For Fall of 2025, The Emory Cinematheque presents 1975: A Year in Cinema, a portrait of a remarkable year in film history. Programmed collaboratively by Emory’s Department of Film and Media, 1975: A Year in Cinema reflects the variety, the complexity, and the contradictions of its transitional moment. Each week’s film will be introduced by the member of the faculty or staff who selected it.
Please join us for a very special series in which every film is a 50th anniversary screening!
Medieval myth and history provide comic fodder for Britain’s favorite surrealist comedy troupe in their rendition of the Grail Quest. In search of the divine chalice, King Arthur (Graham Chapman) assembles a team of knights, Lancelot (John Cleese), Galahad (Michael Palin), Bedivere (Terry Jones), and cowardly Sir Robin (Eric Idle). Together, they embark on a rambling adventure guided by the light of effervescent silliness. As the questers trav…
