Wednesday, March 2, 4:00pm
Wexner Film/Video Theater, 1871 N High St.
*This event is the first installment of a collaboration involving Amy Shuman and other CFS-ers and friends which will lead to a course and a symposium in spring 2017. If you are interested in vernacular religion and the material culture of festivals, you’ll be interested in these painted cardboard stage sets for Holy Week celebrations in Northern Italy. If you’re interested in the cultures of heritage, this is an interesting case study of local people discovering lost artifacts and figuring out how to valorize them and bring attention to them—constructing a narrative of rescue along the way. Also, there will be a reception with lovely food after the event in the Heirloom Cafe!
