Janet Macpherson: A Canadian Bestiary invited visitors to step into an immersive environment where the artist conveyed a deeply personal view of Canada. The exhibition consisted of a series of installations through which Macpherson prompted us to reflect on the legacy of our colonial history; migration as an intrinsic part of Canadian identity; our deeply embedded, yet conflicted, connection to nature; and the idea of the “North.” Made of slip-cast porcelain, Macpherson’s hybrid animals were wrapped, bandaged, or masked, revealing an inner vulnerability and quiet resilience.

    nmc.utoronto.ca Spring 2020 NMCNear & Middle Eastern Civilizations NEWS THE HISTORY FUTURE HOME RESEARCH OF MODERN SYRIA FOR NMC SPOTLIGHT NMC's Professor James A. Reilly The university has released NMC students and postdoctoral shares thoughts about writing a plans for a new building to be fellows share what attracted them history book aimed at reaching the future home of NMC to the department, their current an audience beyond academia projects, and their plans for the future Chair’s Message The start of a new year, and decade, presents opportunities to mark new beginnings, declare new resolutions and voice hopes for a new and better future. It also offers an occasion to pause and reflect on the year that has passed. For Near & Middle Eastern Civilizations (NMC), 2019 was an eventful year, and this issue of our newsletter provides a snapshot, highlighting some of the research activities of our faculty and students, and the important societal contributions of our alumni. Professor James Reilly’s new book grapples with the devastating, ongoing civil conflict in Syria, and demonstrates the importance of historical context and perspective in providing critical insight into this otherwise unfathomable conflict. A historic conference on Ibadism celebrating the remarkable pluralism within Islam; the participation of NMC archaeologists in public outreach events, most notably the wildly popular Science Rendezvous, which annually draws thousands of eager, aspiring students; and a student project reconstructing a Bronze Age Syrian tomb: these events accentuate the wide-ranging experientially rich learning opportunities in NMC. Exciting discoveries can also occur in unexpected places, as PhD candidate Tracy Spurrier learned while studying ancient historical texts housed in Robarts Library, and SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow Moujan Matin encountered investigating the early history of craft production technology.

  • Textile Museum of Canada Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art Cloth and Clay: Communicating Culture
    Textile Museum of Canada Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art Cloth and Clay: Communicating Culture Testing of Preliminary Content and Design The on-line exhibition, Cloth and Clay: Communicating Culture, was a collaborative project involving the Textile Museum of Web image courtesy of Textile Museum of Canada & Gardiner Museum of Ceramic Art Canada and Gardiner Museum of (http://www.textilemuseum.ca/cloth_clay/home.html) Ceramic Art. The two museums with very distinct collections jointly developed the content for this Web site. The development team wanted to create opportunities to: re-unite material from common cultural origins; put objects into their context; find common themes; and, discover new relationships between the collections. They also wanted to reconnect indigenous peoples whose cultures and objects are represented with this material by having them act as advisors. This Web site was launched on the Virtual Museum of Canada (September 2002, http://www.virtualmuseum.ca) and the Web site development also provided content and design for a physical exhibition at the Textile Museum of Canada (on display from August 2002 to February 2003). Conducting audience evaluations throughout the Web development process was a very important aspect of this project (see also, Shaughnessy, Dalrymple, & Soren, 2004, http://www.archimuse.com/mw2004/abstracts/prg_250000759.html). During 2001-2002, I was exploring approaches for evolving museum Web sites that attempt to offer quality experiences to their on-line users for a research project funded by University of Toronto (Soren & Lemelin, 2003, 2004). In this Audience Research and Virtual Museum/Exhibition Sites research we were looking at how Web teams were developing ‘exchange’ experiences with on-line discussion and sharing by creating links among users, or between museum staff and users (Brochu, et al., 1999).
