    Before I Die

    Sponsored by:
    Mahaney Arts Center and Elizabeth Hackett Robinson ’84 Innovation Hub

    This interactive public art installation invites members of the Middlebury community to reflect on what matters most. By sharing personal hopes and aspirations on a communal wall, the project fosters connection, introspection, and a celebration of our shared humanity. Inspired by the global Before I Die project, this installation transforms public space into a canvas for gratitude, memory, and possibility.

    Living with Genji: The "World's First Novel" in 21st Century Japan

    The students in JAPN 290 (“Reading the Tale of Genji” in English”) and Prof. Otilia Milutin (Japanese Studies) are cordially inviting you and your students to view their exhibit, “Living with Genji: The World’s First Novel in 21st Century Japan.” The exhibit features a selection of objects, artwork, movies, and manga inspired by the 11th century classic The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.  Our exhibit aims to showcase a few selected items that speak both of the tale’s enduring legacy in traditional Japanese arts, and, equally important, of its contemporary reiterations, be they manga and movies adaptations or commercial, consumer-oriented products such as mascots, stationary, fabrics, and other everyday objects.  Through our exhibit, we hope to demonstrate how a millennium old classic lives and thrives today in contemporary Japan.

    Artist Damian Stamer discusses his series, Angels & Ghosts

    Museum of Art

    Lecture and Lunch with guest artist, Damian Stamer who will discuss his series, Angels & Ghosts. Stamer’s distinctive artistic approach combines traditional oil painting techniques with AI imagery. He begins by inputting semi-autobiographical prompts into DALL·E 2. Without any mention of spectral elements, the AI produces images imbued with ethereal, ghostlike qualities that Stamer translates onto linen through meticulous and bold brushwork.

    Living in a toxic world: Mechanisms of internal salt-sensing in C. elegans

    Animals are exquisitely sensitive to salt concentrations in both their external and internal environments. While we now have a good understanding of how we taste salt, the mechanisms by which internal salt levels are sensed remain poorly described. This talk will describe recent work from the lab on the identification of a new pathway by which a single gut neuron in C. elegans detects ingested salts and protects the animal against high salt stress.
