SUMMARY:Friends of Art History Guest Lecture - Kim Sajet: What is Art History for?
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome the new Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum! \nSince the dawn of civilization\, people have turned to art to make sense of the world around them. From Pliny the Elder’s account of artistic progress to Xie He’s theory of “spirit resonance” and Giorgio Vasari’s biographical narratives of artistic genius\, writers have theorized and systematized how art develops and why it matters. In 1764\, Johann Joachim Winckelmann first coined the term “history of art\,” helping to formalize the discipline and secure its place within the academy. What began as an effort to elevate the study of art eventually became a marker of cultural refinement. \nYet today\, art history — along with many related humanities disciplines — finds itself increasingly marginalized on university campuses and in public life. Programs shrink\, departments merge\, and scholarship is asked to defend its relevance. If art history is fundamentally the study of visual communication\, why has it struggled to communicate its own purpose? What is art history for? \nIn this talk\, Kim Sajet\, the Donna and Donald Baumgartner Director of the Milwaukee Art Museum\, suggests that the answer lies not in defending old hierarchies or rehearsing inherited canons\, but in reimagining the purpose of studying art itself — less as a means of codifying culture or adjudicating status\, and more as a way of creating community and advancing a shared sense of global humanity. \nLecture is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Little Free Library Walking Tour With C21
DESCRIPTION:Join the Center for 21st Century Studies for a walk with the Human Club to explore the Little Free Libraries in our campus community! \nWe will start our journey at the UWM Center for Student Experience and Talent in the Student Union. Then\, we will head north through the campus neighborhoods\, making stops at the Little Free Libraries we find along the way. We will hear from local Little Free Library volunteers about how they set up their libraries and what motivated them to start this project! \nThe Little Free Library motto is\, “Take a Book\, Leave a Book.” In the spirit of this motto\, we ask that you bring a book (or two!) to donate to a library. Your donation will help keep these neighborhood libraries stocked with stories. \nWe invite both pets and children to join us on this adventure. Please be prepared to walk at least a mile as we explore the neighborhood around UWM and share the joy of books! \nMeet outside the SET Offices\, Student Union E153\, 2200 E Kenwood Blvd. \n— \nWhat are Little Free Libraries? \nLittle Free Library is a nonprofit organization based in St. Paul\, Minnesota. Their mission is to be a catalyst for building community\, inspiring readers\, and expanding book access for all through a global network of volunteer-led Little Free Library book-exchange boxes. \nTheir vision is a Little Free Library in every community and a book for every reader. They believe all people are empowered when the opportunity to discover a personally relevant book to read is not limited by time\, space\, or privilege. Through Little Free Library book exchanges\, millions of books are exchanged each year\, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds. \nAbout Human Club \nHuman Club is the Center for 21st Century Studies’ newest initiative\, which features free field trips around Milwaukee and humanities gatherings with your fellow humans. Comes with a membership punch-card!
