a question of imagination and taste
Arts & Cultural Events
a question of imagination and taste: the Jewett Arts Center, then and now is an exhibition in the Jewett Art Gallery, running from September 2 through October 14. The original artifacts, blueprints, drawings, and photographs in this show speak to the history and the contemporary life of this important modernist building.
The Jewett Arts Center opened in 1958. Designed by architect Paul Rudolph, Jewett replaced the Farnsworth Art Museum and 'completed' Wellesley's academic quad through its siting on the west side of Norumbega Hill. The building was decidedly modern, but made careful and deliberate nods in its materials and detailing to the neo-Gothic architecture of existing buildings on the quad.
Originally built to house the Art and Music Departments as well as the College's public art museum, Jewett today is a lively center of creative and academic inquiry, performance, and exhibition.
A reception to celebrate this exhibition will be held on Friday Sept. 19 from 4:30 - 6:00 pm.

We Have Never Been Woke
Lecture/Panel/Symposium
Musa al-Gharbi, Assistant Professor of Sociology, Stony Brook University in conversation with Jennifer Chudy, Associate Professor of Political Science, Wellesley College,
Society has never been more egalitarian—in theory. Prejudice is taboo, and diversity is strongly valued. At the same time, social and economic inequality have exploded. Musa al-Gharbi argues that these trends are closely related, each tied to the rise of a new elite—the symbolic capitalists. In education, media, nonprofits, and beyond, members of this elite work primarily with words, ideas, images, and data, and are very likely to identify as allies of antiracist, feminist, LGBTQ, and other progressive causes. Their dominant ideology is “wokeness” and, while their commitment to equality is sincere, they actively benefit from and perpetuate the inequalities they decry. Indeed, their egalitarian credentials help them gain more power and status, often at the expense of the marginalized and disadvantaged. Al-Gharbi details how the language of…

To Make a Difference in the World
Arts & Cultural Events
As a preeminent example in North America of world-class landscape design, and an expression of a 150-year commitment to prepare women to be transformational leaders, the Wellesley College campus is inseparable from a Wellesley education. In the decades after Henry Fowle Durant articulated his vision for the College, landscape architects, students, faculty, and alumnae shaped a campus that supported individual growth and the forging of a distinctive, powerful, intergenerational community bound by its connection to the campus and commitments to realize the ideals it nurtured. As Wellesley celebrates its founding, and with the challenges of our time in view—from climate change to resurgent systemic misogyny—through the lens of landscape architecture, this symposium considers what it means to shape a different world. It brings together historians, landscape architects, and Wellesley students, faculty, and alumnae to consider the relationships between landscape, learning, and stewardship.

The Jewett Arts Center opened in 1958. Designed by architect Paul Rudolph, Jewett replaced the Farnsworth Art Museum and 'completed' Wellesley's academic quad through its siting on the west side of Norumbega Hill. The building was decidedly modern, but made careful and deliberate nods in its materials and detailing to the neo-Gothic architecture of existing buildings on the quad.
Originally built to house the Art and Music Departments as well as the College's public art museum, Jewett today is a lively center of creative and academic inquiry, performance, and exhibition.

Julia Walker’s research and teaching focuses on modern and contemporary architecture and urbanism, exploring in particular the persistence and transformation of modernist ideas within contemporary practice. Her first book, Berlin Contemporary: Architecture and Politics After 1990 (Bloomsbury, 2021), examines the architecture and urban planning of reunified Berlin and reveals how its iconic new government structures embody the unsettled contradictions that animate global contemporary architecture culture as a whole. Among the most high-profile and also the most contested of the city’s contemporary architectural projects were those designed for the national government and its related functions. Berlin Contemporary explores these government buildings and…

“Ancora donne”
Lecture/Panel/Symposium
Despite the critical and public attention garnered by the 2024 film Substance which attempted to grapple with Demi Moore’s battle with ageing on and off screen, mainstream films broaching the subject of old-age tend to proliferate disempowering or demeaning and fixed representations of ageing women. While recent scholarship indicates the dearth of narratives that explore the diversity, complexity and reality of ageing in Italian feature films and television series, alternative narratives have been proliferating in the short film space both internationally and in Italy. Festivals such as the Women Over-50 Film Festival (UK), the Legacy Film Festival on Aging (San Francisco), the Life in Pictures (Perth), Silver Fern Film Festival (Bilbao) continue to encourage discussion around ageism and promote positive ageing. The Italian short films examined in this paper have been featured in the Italian festival Corti di Lunga Vita promoted by the Associazione 50&Più in existence since 2017. The festival aims to provide…

Against Decolonization
Lecture/Panel/Symposium
Olufemi Taiwo, Professor of Philosophy and Africana Studies, Cornell University, in conversation with Chipo Dendere, Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, Wellesley College.
Decolonization has lost its way. Originally a struggle to escape the West’s direct political and economic control, it has become a catch-all idea, often for performing ‘morality’ or ‘authenticity’; it suffocates African thought and denies African agency.
Taiwo fiercely rejects the indiscriminate application of ‘decolonization’ to everything from literature, language and philosophy to sociology, psychology and medicine. He argues that the decolonization industry, obsessed with cataloguing wrongs, is seriously harming scholarship on and in Africa. He finds ‘decolonization’ of culture intellectually unsound and wholly unrealistic, conflating modernity with coloniality, and groundlessly advocating an open-ended undoing of global society’s foundations. Worst of all, today’s movement attacks its own cause: ‘decolonizers’ themselves are…
