SUMMARY:Mary Ann Peters - Traveler at James Harris Gallery
DESCRIPTION:“I work from the premise that images are never neutral and that they sustain layered meaning from the inception of an idea to the completed piece. Historical narratives\, architecture\, science\, personal heritage\, politics and questions of perception have all played a part in my thinking over the years.  I look for seemingly disparate elements that can coalesce and redefine a topic.  I have traveled extensively\, most frequently in non-Western cultures. Traveling has informed my understanding of the global roots of aesthetics. It consistently defines for me those social practices that provide outlines for cultural inquiry\, including which ethical questions should be considered or supported. In the end I work to the afterimage of the viewer and the potential discourse that might ensue.  The kiss of death for any artist is the work that no one can remember.” \n– Mary Ann Peters \nMary Ann Peters lives and works in Seattle\, WA  She received an MFA from the University of Washington in 1978.

SUMMARY:Lecture: Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: Matthew Ellis \n“Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya” \nPresenter: Matthew Ellis\, Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Chair in International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Sarah Lawrence College. He is a historian specializing in the social\, intellectual\, and cultural history of the modern Middle East and North Africa. \nIn this talk—based on his recent book\, Desert Borderland: The Making of Modern Egypt and Libya (Stanford\, 2018)—Matthew Ellis adopts a different approach to national territoriality\, arguing that Egypt and Libya emerged steadily as modern territorial nation-states in the decades before World War I despite the lack of official maps defining their borders. By reconstructing the multiple layers and meanings of territoriality in this desert borderland\, Ellis suggests that national territoriality was not simply imposed on Egypt’s western—or Ottoman Libya’s eastern—domains by centralizing state power\, but rather emerged only through a complex and multilayered process of negotiation with a range of local actors motivated by their own conceptions of space\, sovereignty\, and political belonging. \nUW – Thompson Hall – Room 317 \nEvent Sponsors:  Middle East Center\, Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. Part of the 2019-20 “Voices in Middle East Studies.” Contact: mecuw@uw.edu
