Workshop: The Art of the Print in Social Commentary !The Harlot’s Progress is a series of engravings by British artist William Hogarth that tells the story of Moll Hackabout, a fictional young woman who arrives in London seeking employment, but is lured into a life of dissolution. Through these works, Hogarth uses satire to bring the darker side of the city to light in a humor-ous yet poignant way, and reveals a cast of characters identifiable as well-known eighteenth-century Londoners. By using a sequence of images to tell this story, Hogarth paved the way for future artists and photojournalists who address themes of injustice through their serial graphic work. Participants will view the exhibition and other works on paper from the collection dealing with social justice, develop a series of images addressing issues of social justice important to them, and make an etching from one of the images. Due to the mature themes of these art works, this workshop is for ages 14 and up. $12 for Carlos Museum members; $15 for non-members. Registration is required by contacting Nina West at nwest@emory.edu or 404-727-0519.

!)&OCT$# Mondays, (:&' "#, Board Room Carlos Reads Book Club

A dominant theme in Chinua Achebe’s writing is the problem of power and authority in Africa, nowhere more so than in his 1964 novel Arrow of God. Born in 1930 in southeastern Nigeria among the Igbo, Achebe lived through the most momentous period in modern Nigerian history: the ending of colonialism and independ-ence in 1960, followed by the disastrous 1967 Biafran War.

Igbo history offered Achebe a way of thinking about power in Africa: its making and daily enactments; its legitimacy and social basis; and particularly, its abuse. Arrow of God affords the reader uncommon insight into African history and culture as well as an opportunity to consider anew enduring themes in the human condition. Over two Monday evenings, Dr. Clifton Crais, Professor of History and African Studies at Emory, will lead readers though this powerful book. $25 for Carlos Museum members; $35 for non-members. Fee includes cost of the book. Pre-registration is required by calling 404.727.6118 or emailing ehornor@emory.edu.
