Focusing on Persepolis\, he explores the topic within the context of the modern historiography of Achaemenid art and the scientific investigation of a range of works and monuments in Iran and in museums around the world. Nagel’s study contextualizes scholarly efforts to retrieve aspects of ancient polychromies in Western Asia and interrogates current debates about the contemporary use of color in the architecture and sculpture in the ancient Mediterranean world\, especially in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. \nBringing a multi-disciplinary perspective to the topic\, Nagel also highlights the important role of theory\, methodology\, and conservation studies in the process of reconstructing polychromy in ancient monuments. A celebration of the work of painters\, artisans\, craftsmen and -women of Iran’s past\, his volume suggests frameworks through which historical and contemporary research play a dynamic role in the reconstruction of ancient technological knowledge. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; join by Webex via the FIT Authors website.  URL:https://news.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-authors-talks-alexander-nagel-on-color-and-meaning-in-the-art-of-achaemenid-persia/ LOCATION:Virtual event CATEGORIES:Conversation,Online Event,Public,Reading ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240228T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240228T203000 DTSTAMP:20260828T000020 CREATED:20240124T182741Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240131T154139Z UID:10007407-1709143200-1709152200@news.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Documentary Screening and Panel Discussion: Donyale Luna: Supermodel DESCRIPTION:  \nThis year the FIT Library celebrates Black History Month by screening the documentary Donyale Luna: Supermodel and having a panel discussion with producer Isoul Harris and others affiliated with the film.

Christie will talk about his first-ever book of photography\, Willie Christie—A Very Distinctive Style: Then and Now. A Q&A will follow. \nWillie Christie was born a while ago. During the ‘70s and early ‘80s he worked extensively as a photographer with British Vogue. His portfolio includes award-winning advertising campaigns (L’Oréal and Yves Saint Laurent)\, fashion and portrait work for international icons (e.g.\, Cary Grant\, Grace Jones\, Catherine Deneuve) and rock ‘n’ roll album covers and portraits (e.g.\, Rolling Stones\, Pink Floyd\, David Bowie\, and more). After winning a series of awards and being featured in several exhibitions\, the lure of film pulled him away from photographs. In 1982\, he moved into the realm of writing and directing commercials and music videos\, such as for Pink Floyd’s Final Cut album and the first cinema commercial for Medway shoes. The launch of Christie’s Limited Edition Collection in 2011 marked the first time the photographer delved into his personal archives to showcase work that hadn’t been displayed for over three decades. \nThis event will also be livestreamed.  \nThis event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.  URL:https://news.fitnyc.edu/event/grace-coddington-in-conversation-with-photographer-willie-christie/ LOCATION:Katie Murphy Amphitheatre\, Pomerantz Art and Design Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, New York City\, NY\, United States CATEGORIES:Conversation,Public ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com GEO:40.7127837;-74.0059413 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Katie Murphy Amphitheatre Pomerantz Art and Design Center Fashion Institute of Technology New York City NY United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Pomerantz Art and Design Center\, Fashion Institute of Technology:geo:-74.0059413,40.7127837 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20231011T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20231011T130000 DTSTAMP:20260828T000021 CREATED:20230831T190325Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230831T190949Z UID:10006850-1697023800-1697029200@news.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:FIT Authors Talks: Lamont O'Neal on Illustrated Men: Drawing and Rendering the Male Fashion Figure DESCRIPTION:This FIT Authors Talk will be held in the Gladys Marcus Library and is for students and employees only. \nAdjunct Professor Lamont A.

Meira Goldberg discusses her book Sonidos Negros: On the Blackness of Flamenco. \nHow is the politics of Blackness figured in the flamenco dancing body? What does flamenco dance tell us about the construction of race in the Atlantic world? Sonidos Negros traces how\, in the span between 1492 and 1933\, the vanquished Moor became Black\, and how this figure\, enacted in terms of a minstrelized Gitano\, paradoxically came to represent Spain itself. \nThe imagined Gypsy about which flamenco imagery turns dances on a knife’s edge delineating Christian and non-Christian\, White and Black worlds. This figure’s subversive teetering undermines Spain’s symbolic linkage of religion with race\, a prime weapon of conquest. Flamenco’s Sonidos Negros live in this precarious balance\, amid the purposeful confusion and ruckus cloaking embodied resistance\, the lament for what has been lost\, and the values and aspirations of those rendered imperceptible by enslavement and colonization. \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public; REGISTER HERE.  URL:https://news.fitnyc.edu/event/fit-authors-talks-meira-goldberg-on-sonidos-negros/ CATEGORIES:Online Event,Public,Reading ORGANIZER;CN="Jennifer Brady%2C Gladys Marcus Library":MAILTO:jennifer_brady@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221019T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221019T180000 DTSTAMP:20260828T000021 CREATED:20221003T203009Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221003T203009Z UID:10007238-1666198800-1666202400@news.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:The Evolution of Adaptive Fashion DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual panel discussion with three disability advocates about adaptive fashion\, what they look for in designs\, their hopes for the future of the fashion industry\, and more.
