Exhibition: “The Last Ten Years: In Focus Highlights From The David C. Driskell Center Collection
Oct. 13, 2017, 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m.
The David C. Driskell Center
While the Driskell Center routinely exhibits a wide variety of themes and content in its shows, it very rarely has an opportunity to show off some of the more unique and interesting items from its collections. The exhibition will also display material from its archival collections as a complement to certain works in this show. “The Last Ten Years” will be an exciting opportunity for UMD and the broader community to sample the breadth and depth of the Driskell Center's art and archival holdings, which have grown by thousands of objects in the last decade.
Free. No tickets required.
Antigone
Octpner 13, 2017, 7:30 p.m.
The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center, Kay Theatre
UMD’s School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance studies presents Antigone, which is a story of a young woman who speaks truth to power firmly convinced that she is right in following her moral imperative. Her King, Creon,is firmly convinced of the opposite – his law should be obeyed. This elemental ancient play about primordial human themes – honor, loyalty, love, betrayal and conviction – resonates as sharply and as damningly today as it did when it was written 2,500 years ago. With the help of a modern Greek chorus, audiences will come to their own conclusions.
Tickets required here.
