For this edition of the Drama Hive, the focus will be on miniature worlds—participants can create their own miniature environment, evoking their imagination, and translating this into physical, material form.

Drama Hive will be taking place on Jan. 29, at Concordia’s Art Hive (EV 5.777), from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free.

Moving Gender: The case for home museums in Israel and Germany

How do home museums, specifically in Israel and Germany, incorporate gender into their art, and how are they influenced by it? In a presentation by Dr. Vered Vinitzky-Seroussi, this question is considered, based on research in nine home museums in the two countries, over the span of three years. Dr. Vinitzky-Seroussi is a sociologist at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who studies collective memory and commemoration. In this presentation, she considers the nuances of the private and public spheres in connection to home museums, and how gender plays into this relationship.

The presentation will be held on Feb. 1, from 12 p.m. to 1.pm., at LB 671. Admission is free.
