SUMMARY:Virtual Artist Talks - Documentary Photography
DESCRIPTION:Click here to register for this event. \nLaura Boushnak is a Kuwait-born Palestinian photographer based in Sarajevo\, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Her work mainly focuses on the Arab world\, looking at issues that she finds stem from her own personal experience of gender\, education\, and aftermath of war. \nAfter receiving a degree in Sociology from the Lebanese University in Beirut in 1999\, Boushnak infused her interest in social issues with her passion for the visual arts and began her career as a photographer for the Associated Press in Lebanon. She then went on to work with the Agence France-Presse (AFP) at its Middle East hub in Cyprus and its headquarters in Paris. During this nine-year span\, Boushnak’s experience included covering hard news in conflict zones such as the war in Iraq and the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war.

SUMMARY:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe - ARCE Members Only
DESCRIPTION:The Goddess Isis and the Kingdom of Meroe\n\n\nDr. Solange Ashby\n\n2:00 PM Illinois/12pm PST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDiscussions of the widespread appeal of the cult of Isis in antiquity often omit any mention of the Nubian priests who served the rulers of the Kingdom of Meroe (located south of Egypt in the Sudan) and the royal donations of gold that they delivered to the temple of Isis at Philae\, located at Egypt’s border with Nubia. Those funds were essential to the survival of the temple of Philae\, allowing it to remain in active use for centuries after other temples had been abandoned in Egypt. I will describe the rites performed by the Nubian priests and their participation in a tradition of Nubian pilgrimage to this site that spanned one thousand years. \nAs a Black Egyptologist it is important to me to investigate the southern connections that are evident in the ancient religious practices of Egypt. Much work remains to be done to highlight these connections. \n\nThis online lecture is available exclusively to active ARCE members. To register\, click here.\nRegistration is required and closes 48 hours before the event.\nBiography of Solange Ashby: \nSolange Ashby received her PhD in Egyptology\, with a specialization in ancient Egyptian language and Nubian religion\, from the University of Chicago. She has researched in Egypt at the temple of Philae and participated in an archaeological excavation in El-Kurru\, Sudan (royal Kushite cemetery). Her first book\, Calling Out to Isis: The Enduring Nubian Presence at Philae\, was released in July by Gorgias Press.  Her current research explores the roles of women in traditional Nubian religious practices. Dr. Ashby is working on the first monograph dedicated to the history\, religious symbolism\, and political power of the queens of Kush.
