Through the symbols, figures and clues hidden within 3,500-year-old art, we'll explore what these paintings can tell us about women, ritual, religion and the feminine divine in the ancient Aegean.You'll leave with a deeper understanding of an ancient world we still can't fully decipher and the mystery of the goddess at its centre.Kathryn Gendron (she/her) has a BA in Greek and Roman Studies with a minor in Human Rights and Social Justice and an MA candidate at the University of Ottawa. Her research is informed by both of these academic perspectives and focuses on gender, sexuality, and religion throughout the ancient world particularly identities that are subversive in nature. She is passionate about finding ways to connect these concepts to the modern world and engage with wider audiences as the history of ancient people repeats itself even today.?Get a drink, connect and learn at Tipsy ScholarsAgenda6:00pm - Doors open: Grab a seat, order drinks and food and settle in.6:55pm - Host Introduction7:00pm - Lecture starts7:45pm - Q&A with Audience8:00pm - Socialize and make friends, grab drinks - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/ottawa/understanding-the-goddess-the-feminine-divine-before-the-greek-gods/100001998511937002 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 17.74, max: 31.59, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Ottawa - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Braumeister Bierhalle - **lat**: 45.4060902 - **long**: -75.72844669999999 - **full address**: Braumeister Bierhalle, 175 Carruthers Avenue, Ottawa, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Understanding the Goddess: The Feminine Divine Before the Greek Gods - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/f54c6600732b700b06e152b52958fbd0e1c4a841f9a8659793cac958d96fbdea-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8e8d8-gmir.jpg?v=1788214555 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Understanding the Goddess: The Feminine Divine Before the Greek Gods being held? - **A:** Understanding the Goddess: The Feminine Divine Before the Greek Gods takes place on Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 02 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at Braumeister Bierhalle, 175 Carruthers Avenue, Ottawa, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Understanding the Goddess: The Feminine Divine Before the Greek Gods? - **A:** Understanding the Goddess: The Feminine Divine Before the Greek Gods is organized by TipsyScholars. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
