Location: Ancient Greek and Roman Galleries
Registration required.

Explore the humanity, desire, vengeance, and grief at the heart of ancient stories. Liz Downing activates the Walters’ collection with performances of contemporary translations of ancient texts such as Alice Oswald’s “Memorial”, Emily Wilson‘s “Odyssey,” Madeleine Miller’s “Circe,” and Old Song’s “Sappho, Anacreon Callimachus”. Join in a discussion with the artist and Lisa Anderson-Zhu, Curator of Ancient Mediterranean Art & Curator of Provenance.

Queering the Collection is a program series that invites artists, scholars, and visitors to participate in conversations that connect queer-identifying perspectives with the Walters collection. Speakers will discuss works of art in the galleries, followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
