Lecture by Dr. Kirk Savage

Beyond the Victim Monument
Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 5:30 p.m.
Kirk Savage, professor of art history at the University of Pittsburgh
and author of the new book, Monument Wars: Washington, D.C., the
National Mall, and the Transformation of the Memorial Landscape, will
deliver a free lecture co-sponsored by the Dallas Holocaust Museum, the
Art History Department at Southern Methodist University and The Sixth
Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza.
Dr. Savage will explore the achievements and pitfalls of the "victim
monument," a 20th-century monument type that has come to rival and
perhaps even supplant the hero monuments of old. With special attention
given to the memorial landscape of Washington, D.C., the talk will
examine the origins of the victim monument, its spread and its
implications for the future of memorialization.
The lecture is
free and open to the public, but tickets are required.
For more
information, call 214-768-2698.
For tickets, call 214-768-2787.

| New Exhibition |
|
This exhibition features the work of Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Bob Jackson. The exhibit highlights Jackson's personal perspective of three chaotic days in November of 1963--from President Kennedy's arrival at Love Field to alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald's murder. Using both well-known and rarely seen photographs, artifacts and film footage, the exhibit also tells a larger story of Jackson's decades-spanning career.
Ask us about the Bob Jackson Teacher Workshop packet! Email: education@jfk.org for more details.________________________________________________________ | |
