SUMMARY:Book Talk: Ani Kokobobo\, Ph.D.\, on "Leo Tolstoy: The Power of Dissent"
DESCRIPTION:Explore Leo Tolstoy: The Power of Dissent\, published by Academic Studies Press on May 20\, 2025\, with Dr. Kokobobo\, UL Dean of College of Liberal Arts\, focusing on Tolstoy as a dissenter and the relevance of his voice in today’s world.\n \nAbout the Author:\nDr. Kokobobo is Professor of Modern Languages and Dean of the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. She has published over thirty-five articles and written or edited multiple books. Her public writings have appeared with Time Magazine\, the Chronicle of Higher Education\, and The Washington Post. \nLeo Tolstoy: The Power of Dissent\nThe Tolstoy that emerges from this volume is a thinker who resists easy answers\, explores contradictions\, and seeks deeper reconciliation. This collection presents him as an open-ended conversation partner rather than a moral authority\, grappling urgently with dilemmas of identity\, human relationships\, colonial violence\, and integrity. The Tolstoy I have always sought—and hope is foregrounded here—is one whose meanings remain open\, engaging in dialogue with both our present and an unknown future. From his time\, he speaks to today’s most pressing issues. In an era of polarization and simplistic narratives\, Tolstoy offers a methodology of dissent and independent thought. This is Tolstoy the dissenter\, whose voice is extraordinarily valuable for our time. For more information on Leo Tolstoy: The Power of Dissent\, click here. \n  \nFree for museum members\, UL students\, faculty and staff. General public entry with museum admission.

SUMMARY:2025 Bienvenu Lecture Series: Art\, Nature\, and Identity: The Newcomb Pottery Legacy
DESCRIPTION:The Legacy of the Newcomb Arts Movement: Lecture by Elyse D. Gerstencker\, PhD\, Curator of Decorative Arts at Telfair Museums\n5 p.m. Reception\n5:30 p.m. Lecture \nJoin the Hilliard Art Museum for the 2025 John B. Bienvenu Lecture with Elyse D. Gerstenecker\, PhD\, Curator of Decorative Arts at Telfair Museums. Gerstenecker explores how Louisiana’s celebrated Newcomb Pottery transformed regional flora into internationally recognized art and made vital contributions to the 20th century Arts & Crafts movement.  \nThis presentation coincides with the Hilliard’s exhibition Fragile Matter\, featuring works by Newcomb artist Harriet Joor\, who taught at UL and was among the museum’s first collection contributors. The evening will also debut a presentation of Joor ceramics generously loaned from the Haynie Family Collection.  \n  \n \nLearn more about this innovative program that championed women\, the Arts & Crafts movement\, and produced exceptional pottery works at the turn of the twentieth century in New Orleans. Newcomb Pottery is considered one of the most significant American art potteries of the first half of the twentieth century. \nThe Newcomb Pottery Company (sometimes referred to as Newcomb College Pottery) grew out of the pottery program at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College\, a women’s college founded expressly to instruct young Southern women in liberal arts. A radical idea at the time\, it became a hotbed of innovation and provided unprecedented access to learning\, agency\, and resources for that generation of women. The art school opened in 1886 and began producing pottery on a for-profit basis beginning in 1895\, introducing the work to an expanding art market. This meant the women-designers were paid for creative work and being exhibited on the world stage\, with institutional backing.
