When Piri Reis sailed around the Mediterranean, mapping every inch of coastline, it was the height of the Renaissance. The Renaissance, literally meaning “rebirth,” was a period of revival of classical thoughts in economics, politics, and art, which will be the center of attention for this episode. From vivid depictions of the Piazza San Marco to the fountains of lions, Piri reflects a surprising Ottoman fascination with Italian Renaissance art.

This episode explores the depiction of the city of Granada in the Kitab-ı Bahriye, the atlas composed by the Ottoman navy admiral and cartographer, Piri Reis. Piri's inclusion of Granada, an inland city, in his atlas of the Mediterranean coast, is odd. Granada is one of the few non-maritime cities that are depicted in the book. As we attempt to solve the puzzle of Granada's representation, we will visit the history of the last Islamic regime in Spain, the Nasrids of Granada (r. 1232 to 1492), whose rule was ended by the Reconquista. As the Catholic Monarchs conquered the city and expelled its non-Christian populations, Piri in his “previous life” as a corsair, had an important role to play. Tune in to listen to our discussion of a moment in history when religious tolerance and coexistence came to an end and how Piri Reis played a heroic role in it.

In which we discuss Acts 10:25-11:18 as part of the developing distinction between Judaism and Christianity- namely from the inclusion of the righteous gentile Cornelius and his household into The Way. IMAGE: Gerbrand van den Eeckhout - Vision of Cornelius the Centurion, 1664. Oil on canvas. Created in Amsterdam, Netherlands, this piece is housed in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. Via Wikipedia: A dramatic play of light and shadow can add an emotional charge to the depiction of an event. This was the great lesson that Eeckhout absorbed from his teacher Rembrandt van Rijn in the late 1630s and was still using in 1664, when he signed and dated this painting. This is especially effective for representing contact between the human and the divine-here, the appearance of an angel to the Roman centurion Cornelius (Acts of the Apostles). The angel tells him to seek out St. Peter, who will then preach to him about Christ. Eeckhout also adopted Rembrandt's use of details to engage the viewer, such as the centurion's gestures of submission to greater authority-arms crossed on the chest and his officer's ceremonial war axe laid on the ground. The cistern at the left foreshadows Cornelius's baptism by St. Peter.

Medieval manuscripts are our shared inheritance, and today they are more accessible than ever—thanks to digital copies online. Yet for all that widespread digitization has fundamentally transformed how we connect with the medieval past, we understand very little about what these digital objects really are. We rarely consider how they are made or who makes them. Digital Codicology: Medieval Books and Modern Labor (Stanford UP, 2022) demystifies digitization, revealing what it's like to remake medieval books online and connecting modern digital manuscripts to their much longer media history, from print, to photography, to the rise of the internet. Examining classic late-1990s projects like Digital Scriptorium 1.0 alongside late-2010s initiatives like Bibliotheca Philadelphiensis, and world-famous projects created by the British Library, Corpus Christi College Cambridge, Stanford University, and the Walters Art Museum against in-house digitizations performed in lesser-studied libraries, Bridget Whearty tells never-before-published narratives about globally important digital manuscript archives. Drawing together medieval literature, manuscript studies, digital humanities, and imaging sciences, Whearty shines a spotlight on the hidden expert labor responsible for today's revolutionary digital access to medieval culture. Ultimately, this book argues that centering the modern labor and laborers at the heart of digital cultural heritage fosters a more just and more rigorous future for medieval, manuscript, and media studies.

Curating Native American Art with Darienne Turner, Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas, Baltimore Museum of Art

In 2020 the Baltimore Museum of Art appointed their first native curator, Darienne Turner, Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas. Her hire signaled a commitment by the museum to promote and interpret the art of indigenous peoples of the Americas. A member of the Yurok Tribe of California, Darienne is one of the few native curators of native art in U.S. museums. In our conversation, she discusses her role and the challenges in presenting and collecting native art in an institutional context and her responsibility to tell the stories of native peoples thoughtfully and reverently. When we spoke with Darienne in December 2020, the museum was partially closed. The only spaces open to the public were the gift shop and a portion of the first floor where her first exhibition at the museum, Stripes, and Stars: Reclaiming Lakota Independence (October 11, 2020 — March 28, 2021), was installed. The exhibition presented a small selection of objects from the museum's collection produced by the Lakota peoples of South Dakota. Confined to reservations by the late 19th century, the makers of these objects incorporated the American flag in their detailed beadwork. On caps and vests worn by children, boots, pouches, and a monumental hood for a horse, these emblems of the flag served as a talisman and a way for the Lakota youth to participate in cultural activities which had previously been outlawed. Her exhibition was the first in what we hope will be many that celebrate the achievement of native makers of the Americas. The Baltimore Museum of Art is one of the leading U.S. encyclopedic museums committed to collecting and promoting inclusivity. Being a majority-minority city, Baltimore and the museum is a model for the future of U.S. culture and institutions.Learn more about the museum and her exhibition here:Exhibition page: https://artbma.org/exhibition/stripes-and-stars-reclaiming-lakota-independenceExhibition Installation Videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrgHLLqglkoTalk with Darienne Turner and Sheldon Raymore, member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Nation and multidisciplinary artist and performer, on the occasion of the exhibition Stripes and Stars: Reclaiming Lakota Independence at the BMA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIycn3OzPMUPress: 'We Were White and Sleepy Before'—The Baltimore Museum of Art's Radical Makeover – Wall Street Journal, 11/22/19.About Darienne:Darienne is the Assistant Curator of Indigenous Art of the Americas at the Baltimore Museum of Art, is a member of the Yurok Tribe of California, and has taught in MICA's Graphic Design Department since 2017.

After The Walters Art Museums New Racial Reckoning, Ways Forward

Beyond the massive protests over last year's police killing of George Floyd, a remarkable reckoning on America's troubled racial history — especially the unresolved legacy of slavery — has been very much in evidence in our area over the past many months. Case in point: William Walters and his son Henry Walters, the namesakes of the Walters Art Museumhere in Baltimore. Henry Walters’ gift to the City of Baltimore in the 1930s of the priceless collection of art that he and his father had amassed was a generous act of philanthropy, and the collection has been enjoyed and revered by millions of art lovers and scholars over the years. Last week, the Walters announced that it has revised the written history that is published on their website to reflect the fact that William Walters supported the Confederacy, and that his son, Henry supported activities that honored the Confederacy well into the 20th century. This disclosure comes in the context of at least two other area institutions, Johns Hopkins University and Hood College, where information has surfaced about their namesakes' links to slavery. Today on Midday, a conversation about ways to acknowledge and act on the symbols and stories that represent America’s long history of racism and racial inequality. Later in the program, Tom is joined on Zoom by two racial justice activists who'll share their perspectives on what should and can be done with such information. A. Adar Ayirais the principal consultant with Ayira Core Concepts, a consulting firm that provides Anti-Racism/Anti-Oppression /Equity education.

Vikan traces its origins and gives the context for how it came to be so widely revered.

Are a pink flamingo on a lawn in Hampden and a Renaissance statue in the sculpture court of the Walters Art Museum fundamentally different, if both give pleasure to the person who encounters them? Is the intrinsic value of art premised in its being beautiful? And why do any of us recognize anything as being ----beautiful---- -- or not?On today's edition of Midday on the Arts, we begin with a conversation about the nature of art and beauty, and what shapes our responses to art that we find appealing, and art that leaves us flat, or even infuriated.

It might be a cliche to call someone a Renaissance woman, but it’s difficult to describe Lexie Mountain any other way. The artist, writer, musician and comedian has been a mainstay in Baltimore’s arts and DIY communities for years, creating work that often grapples with gender and communication. Lexie might be best known for The Lexie Mountain Boys, an all-female experimental vocal group that put out two records on Carpark Records. Lexie talked about using art to stave off depression, and told the story behind some of her projects, including an attempt at staging the world’s longest game of telephone at The Walters Art Museum in May. Lexie also is a writer -- full disclosure, she contributes to City Paper and has written for The Baltimore Sun in the past -- and she's currently in a rock band called Scroll Downers. Lexie also discussed Twitter, tarot and finding her scene.(Photo courtesy of PSquared)

100 things to do in Baltimore before it's too late (episode 191)

Haussner’s Regret is Dan’s term for the remorse Baltimoreans feel when they realize it’s too late to do something they always meant to do but never did, or something they did once and enjoyed but never got to a second time. It is named for the once-famous, now-gone Highlandtown restaurant crammed with paintings, ceramics and sculpture that closed after 73 years in 1999. It closed fast, too, just two weeks after Mrs. Frances Haussner George announced she’d had enough. Haussner’s was overwhelmed with customers who wanted one last meal; some stood in line for three hours. Many had not dined at Haussner’s in forever, and they regretted it. On today’s show: Avoiding Haussner’s Regret with a Baltimore Bucket List — that is, an inventory of things every Baltimorean should do — or do again — before it’s too late, from hiking the full length of Charles Street to having a corned beef sandwich at Attman’s to enjoying the annual taxidermy show at the Walters Art Museum to jazz at the Caton Castle. Our discussion is occasioned by the publication of author Judy Colbert’s latest book of regional interest, “100 Things To Do In Baltimore Before You Die.”Links:http://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/dining/baltimore-diner-blog/bal-haussners-building-demolition-20160526-story.htmlhttp://articles.baltimoresun.com/2013-11-14/news/bs-md-backstory-charles-street-20131114_1_south-baltimore-baltimore-county-baltimore-museumhttp://www.baltimoresun.com/entertainment/dining/baltimore-diner-blog/bs-fo-attmans-100-years-20150328-story.htmlhttp://www.citypaper.com/news/thisweek/bcpnews-thursday-baltimore-taxidermy-open-20161004-story.htmlhttp://www.catoncastle.com/calendar.htmlhttps://www.amazon.com/Judy-Colbert/e/B001HP1Z8S
