    Gallery Talk—The Light of the Levant: Early Photography and the Late Ottoman Empire

    “The Light of the Levant: Early Photography and the Late Ottoman Empire” traces nearly a century of photography in the region. Curated by History of Art and Architecture faculty Pieter Broucke and Sarah Rogers, the exhibition includes the work of foreign and local photographers, both professional and amateur, to showcase the various scientific, commercial, ideological, and personal uses of the new medium and highlight a network of circulation in which images transported ideas about cultural otherness, imperial desires, and notions of modernity.

  • Cameron Visiting Architect Lecturer, Thena Tak

    This lecture will focus on architectural representations and their relationship to conceptual frameworks both within the architectural project and beyond to varying ontologies. The talk will consider the way in which architectural representations are not just embodiments of architectural knowledge, but also ways of seeing and being in the world. The deliberate questioning of what to represent and how to represent is a disciplinary responsibility that is companion to the act of world building.
