-including coconuts, ivory, ostrich eggs, and, in this case, a nautilus shell from the Indian Ocean - into works of art that celebrated both nature and artifice. These types of objects were also popular with collectors during the 19th c, when the mounts on this cup were reworked.
O Dia Internacional para a Eliminação da Discriminação Racial é uma referência ao "Massacre de Sharpeville " (21 de março de 1960), quando 69 pessoas morreram por ataques policiais durante uma manifestação contra a "Lei do Passe" na cidade de Joanesburgo (África do Sul).
Você saberia distinguir entre o que é preconceito racial, discriminação racial e o racismo? Apesar de haver uma grande discussão a respeito desses termos, suas aplicações e diferenças, vamos apresentar algumas definições que podem servir para uma primeira aproximação ao tema. 👇
Preconceito racial: No livro Racismo Estrutural, importante obra sobre o assunto, Silvio Almeida define como: “o juízo baseado em estereótipos acerca de indivíduos que pertençam a um determinado grupo racializado, e que pode ou não resultar em práticas discriminatórias”.
No próximo dia 26 (sexta-feira), às 17h, realizaremos, em uma parceria com o Ministério Público do Trabalho, UNICAMP, Núcleo de Estudos de População e Observatório das Migrações em São Paulo.
Em uma roda de conversa, no canal do YouTube do MI, um grupo de mulheres irá compartilhar experiências e pontos de vista sobre os processos de deslocamento, desafios e projetos migratórios.
A mediação será de Catarina von Zuben, que fará perguntas sobre as vivências das convidadas Maha Mamo, primeira apátrida a receber a nacionalidade brasileira, Alba Gonzales, venezuelana, Prudence Kalambay Libonza, congolesa, Nathanael Pericles, haitiana e Isabel Torres, peruana.

The informal, chatty style of the tales and their lack of morals were considered inappropriate in children's literature.

For the oppressed in South Africa, freedom songs were a weapon in the struggle against colonial conquest and apartheid, and are part of the collective memory of the struggle against apartheid.

Freedom songs tell the story of the people, organizations, events, ideologies, beliefs, hopes, dreams and emotions that were part of the struggle for freedom.
Many singers and bands added their voices to the struggle through their music, and jazz, rock, reggae, hip hop and other musical genres played an important role in the struggle for freedom.

@RoySocChem Astronomers had observed red flame-like prominences around the solar disc during total eclipses, but didn't know whether they came from the Sun, the Moon, or the Earth's atmosphere. De La Rue's precise photography proved that they came from the Sun #CollectionsUnited @RoySocChem
@RoySocChem As an astronomer and chemist, Warren De La Rue was able to carry out pioneering work in astrophotography. He was the first to use the wet collodion process instead of daguerrotypy for capturing celestial objects, and made the the first lunar stereograph images #CollectionsUnited

Is your computer taking too long to process data? Spare a thought for the team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory back in 1965, waiting for their computers to process the first closeup images of Mars taken by Mariner 4. Their solution - colour by numbers! #tbt #AstronoMay (1/9)
On July 15 1965, Mariner 4 obtained the first closeup images of Mars and stored them in its onboard tape recorder. Over the course of three weeks, the data acquired during the flyby was transmitted back to the Earth. #AstronoMay #MuseumFromHome #sciencefromhome (2/9)
At JPL, a "real-time data translator" machine converted the image data into numbers which were printed onto strips of paper. The team knew the computers would take some time to process the images and they were anxious to see them. Then, they had an idea... #AstronoMay (3/9)
On #MemorialDay, we honor the lives of soldiers who have died while serving in the US Armed Forces. Today, we will remember them with a look at Augustus Saint-Gaudens’s “Shaw Memorial” (1900). #MuseumFromHome

The memorial commemorates the valiant efforts of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw and the men of the 54th Massachusetts, the first Civil War regiment of African Americans enlisted in the North.
The version in Boston Common was dedicated as a monument on Decoration Day on May 31, 1897.

The real heroes who deserve to be celebrated are the skilled crafts communities integral to #preservation #conservation of #heritage #sites #monuments and #museums across the world. These are photos from the #NalandaUniversity, a #UNESCO #WorldHeritageSite in #Bihar in 2013
Here, when we had gone on a research trip as the Bihar Museum #design team, we had found #craftsmen making bricks and sculptures to help in the restoration of the 1500 year old site. We thought this was extremely imp as the process was similar
I had suggested that this process be filmed and displayed as part of ‘continuing traditions’ in the new Museum. Thankfully, this was accepted and a film has been made 😊

Thank you the real heroes, we salute you for your skill and hard work, not just today but everyday 🙏🏽

It was amazing earlier today to connect with over 90 colleagues from around the world reflecting on how the role of cultural heritage organisations & esp #universitymuseums is changing post #COVID19. Some key questions in thread below #UNIVERSEUMonline #Human_ties #MuseumFromHome
How can museums and galleries continue to be a safe social space for people to connect? #UNIVERSEUMonline
How can we create meaningful #ObjectBasedLearning and engagement with our collections in wholly digital ways and platforms while physical contact is still unsafe?

For @bbcarts #CultureinQuarantine here's a thread on my collaboration with #ClaireHind #WaysToWanderTheGallery developed out of an @ahrcpress networks project, and was delivered with @Tate in 2017 #MuseumFromHome 1/5
'Ways to Wander the Gallery' built on work gathered together in the 2014 book 'Ways to Wander'; a collection of 54 suggestions, instructions, guidelines & ideas for going on a walk, written by members of the #WalkingArtistsNetwork #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 2/5
#WaysToWanderTheGallery explored the connections between walking, art, experimental writing & composition through a series of workshops @Tate Modern. We wanted to think about the gallery, & the page, as sites for walking & creativity. #CultureinQuarantine #MuseumFromHome 3/5

O que uma garrafa de refrigerante retornável e uma cédula de dinheiro têm em comum? Ambos possuem grande poder de alcance, são projetados para passar entre muitas mãos propagando certos conteúdos e valores.
Cildo Meireles, autor da obra apresentada no #pinadecasa de hoje, identificou esses dois objetos como “circuitos ideológicos”, responsáveis por tornar cotidiano o exercício de poder de algumas poucas pessoas sobre toda a sociedade.
Para comentar esses mecanismos de dominação do imaginário coletivo e demonstrar estratégias simples de subvertê-los, o artista realizou um conjunto de “inserções”. O gesto consistia em acrescentar mensagens poéticas ou de denúncia nesses objetos e devolvê-los à circulação, (...)
O #pinadecasa de hoje é dedicado a “Saque e aproveite a vantagem”, uma obra bastante singular de José Leonilson (1957-1993). O adjetivo “singular” não é mera força de expressão.
Essa pintura sobre jornal é de fato uma das poucas que o artista fez nesse suporte no decorrer de sua trajetória. Leonilson realizou instalações, objetos e conjuntos extensos de trabalhos bidimensionais nos quais desenhava, pintava, escrevia e bordava sobre tela, tecido e papel.
Nesse caso específico, ele escolheu o noticiário impresso do dia como ponto de partida de sua composição em tintas guache e acrílica.
