Artist Presents Virtual Visit to Kyoto
04/23/2010
Artist Lori Ellis will share the sights and sounds of the enchanting city of Kyoto, as well as her personal impressions of this bustling-yet-polite Japanese metropolis of 1.2 million people, on Thursday, May 6, during a Community Roundtable at SUNY Cortland.
Ellis, an associate professor in the College’s Art and Art History Department, will present “Kyoto: A Semester in Japan” from 8-9 a.m. in the Park Center Hall of Fame Room.
Sponsored by the President’s Office and the College’s Center for Educational Exchange (CEE), the Community Roundtable is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served at 7:45 a.m. A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation.
The public is invited to “travel” with Ellis, who lived and wandered among Kyoto’s gracious residents during her three-month sabbatical in Spring 2009, when she recorded her fascinating and colorful observations. The trip takes place on the daily “Kyoto Blog,” which she created to share stimulating thoughts and vivid photographs of Kyoto’s geishas, cherry blossoms, fashion, art and architecture, cuisine and culture. Ellis will narrate her experiences presented on the blog.
For more information, contact the CEE at (607) 753-4214 or visit www.cortland.edu/cee.
