Please join the David Rumsey Map Center and the Stanford ITALIC program for a series of short talks on the work of Beatrice Glow, a New York-based artist who is in residence at the Rumsey Center during the week of May 4-8. Glow’s multidisciplinary practice takes inspiration from archives, maps, and material culture related to legacies of global trade and colonization. She works with culture bearers around the world to craft alternative histories and imagine different futures for places and people.

On Thursday, May 7 from 11:00am-12:30pm, Glow will present in-progress research. She will be joined by Hideo Mabuchi (Applied Physics, Director of the Stanford Arts Institute), Diana Looser (Theater and Performance Studies Department Chair at Stanford), Kalie Granier (interdisciplinary artist based on Santa Cruz, CA), and Kim Beil (ITALIC Associate Director at Stanford).
