BREAD LOAF LECTURE THURSDAY AT UAS

Story telling in the visual mode will be the theme of this week's Bread Loaf lecture series, Thursday (July 26) at 7 p.m. in the Mourant Building on the UAS campus.

Professor Hertha Sweet Wong of the University of California, Berkeley will present "Picturing Ourselves: Story Quilts, Artists' Books, and Public Art."
She will show slides and talk about several contemporary artists "who are working through personal and historical narratives to find a voice, particularly for African American and Native American stories."

Sweet Wong said, "Each artist has to counter history as they've experienced it. They have to retell history in order to have a place for their own history because their histories have been so under-represented or misrepresented."

The last in this season's Bread Loaf Lecture Series will be presented Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. in Egan Library. Jeffry Nunokawa from Princeton will discuss, "Oscar Wilde and the Fantasy of Disposable Desire."

All of the presentations are free and open to the public.

Bread Loaf is the School of English at Middlebury College in Vermont. UAS is one of four permanent campuses for their summer program.
