Natural History: Georgia Review Interdisciplinary Symposium

Continuing its tradition, The Georgia Review will be presenting an interdisciplinary symposium for graduate students from the UGA Creative Writing Program and Lamar Dodd School of Art to showcase their creative work during Spotlight on the Arts. The theme for this year is “Natural History.”  As a term “Natural History” relates to curation, classification, and preservation.  It focuses on the more-than-human world(s) of a particular region and the ways of life these elicit.  In the constellation of “natural” and “history”, one can also hear a question of what would constitute an unnatural history. Taking this phrase as a starting point, Art students Eve Brown, Paul Knopf, Jeanne Marie Martineau, and Larissa Mcpherson along with Creative Writing students Rahad Abir, O-Jeremiah (Oluwatoyosi) Agbaakin, Matthew Moore, and Nik Moore will present their work and how it relates and expands upon this theme.

The event will take place on November 8th at the Athenaeum from 2 to 4:30 pm. Drinks and light refreshments will be provided. This event is free and open to the public.
