SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:FAST Lecture | Royal City and Colony: The Long-Term History of Pella
DESCRIPTION:The Pella Urban Dynamics Project is a multidisciplinary field project being undertaken at the ancient city of Pella\, in northern Greece. A major objective is to understand how diachronic changes in Pella’s status in the regional and trans-regional contexts affected the city and its residents. The project explores the location\, form\, and extent of the settlement before\, during\, and after the creation of the Hellenistic city that benefited from the wealth created during the conquests of the kings of Macedon. At the same time\, it investigates how the lives of some of the population changed\, including during the period of decline in the late 2nd to early 1st century BCE\, when this region was annexed by Rome. This presentation will focus on preliminary results obtained from three years of field survey and excavation that highlight the changing status of the city.\n\nDavid Stone and Lisa Nevett (U-M Department of Classical Studies) are co-directors of the Pella Urban Dynamics Project (https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/pella/). \n\nThis event will take place in Room 125 of the Kelsey Museum’s Newberry Hall. Light refreshments and food will be provided before the lecture\, which will begin at 6 PM.\n\nFAST (Field Archaeology Series on Thursday) lectures are free and open to the public. This event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Penny Stamps Speaker Series - Stacey Kirby
DESCRIPTION:Stacey Kirby is a queer\, white-bodied\, self-appointed civil servant and interdisciplinary artist known for creating participatory installations that explore themes of identity\, community\, and civil rights.

With a history spanning two decades\, including over 200 performances\, involving 300 community performers\, and engaging 10\,000 participants\, Kirby’s work employs humor and satire to foster an on-going dialogue about identity\, community\, and human rights.\nKirby is a recipient of numerous awards\, including the ArtPrize 8 Juried Grand Prize and an NC Arts Council Artist Fellowship for Visual Artists\; has been nominated for the United States Artists Award and the Anonymous Was A Woman Award\; and was a finalist for the 1858 Prize.
