UNCG Humanities Network and Consortium

On Friday, April 24, we are relaunching the Roots of Our Time series! Originally developed by Dr. James Anderson in UNCG's History Department, this series brings together two UNCG faculty members from different departments to provide historical context and deeper understanding of contemporary issues.

We are thrilled to kick off the series with an engaging discussion between Dr. Muntazir Ali (LPS) and Dr. David Wight (HIS) on the Israeli-US War with Iran in historical perspective.

Friday, April 24 @ 1pm on Teams

iNgqikithi yokuPhica / Weaving Meanings: Telephone Wire Art from South Africa

"Foregrounding artists’ voices, Weaving Meanings shares histories of the wire medium in South Africa, from the 16th century uses as currency to the dazzling artworks wire weavers create today. [...] Weaving Meanings features historical items alongside contemporary works of art, demonstrating individual and community-based ways of making and knowing. Curated in consultation with Indigenous Knowledge experts in broader Nguni and specific Zulu cultures, this exhibition sheds new light on this artistic medium, highlighting the experiences of the artists themselves through videos featuring interviews and the process of creating wirework." - from the exhibition website

Please join us in sending thoughts of appreciation and congratulations to one of our graduate assistants, Lisa Hines, who is graduating with a MFA in Dance.

Lisa has spearheaded HNAC’s newsletter for the past two years. While we are sad that Lisa’s time with HNAC is ending, we are proud to have worked with her these past four semesters. Lisa, we will miss you dearly and wish you all the best. We know that your next professional steps will be amazing!
