Sunday Gathering: Generous Revenge: Profiles of Power in Art

One of the first great kings of Persia used the media of his day to humiliate and subdue his rivals. Generations later, a brilliant general employed a very different, enlightened propaganda strategy to help conquer that king’s descendant and all of mighty Persia.

This dramatic tale of arrogance, magnanimity, betrayal, and retribution unfolds against a backdrop of art that is among the most beautiful ever created. In what promises to be a fascinating talk, member Terri Karp will explore this defining episode and draw connections to our culture’s obsession with image and power.

This Gathering is at the meetinghouse and on Zoom. To receive the Zoom link, please email YWRtaW4gfCBldGhpY2FsZm9jdXMgISBvcmc= by noon on Friday. We hope you can join us!
