      Carol Rifelj Lecture Series - Recycling the Apocalypse: Resurrection, Adaption, and Sacred Fragments on Medieval IcelandRobyn Barrow, History of Art & Architecture 
 Recycling the Apocalypse: Resurrection, Adaption, and Sacred Fragments on Medieval Iceland
 On medieval Iceland, which visitors conceptualized as the very mouth of hell, drastic environmental change and resource scarcity was not a sign of apocalypse, but a daily lived experience. The island is subject to extreme weather and geothermal activity that renders any material production, particularly architecture, deeply unstable.Franklin Environmental Center, The Orchard-Hillcrest 103

        The Magic of Reality: Cameron Visiting Artist Lecture by Bernadette DespujolsRooted in personal memory and political transformation, my work explores identity, motherhood, migration, and the blurred boundaries between the real and the magical. Through intimate portraits and narratives drawn from my Venezuelan upbringing, my work reflects on nostalgia, displacement, and the spiritual traditions that shape Latin American life. I seek to weave together autobiographical and collective histories; where the personal becomes political, and where womanhood, nature, and creation converge in both tenderness and resistant.
