The Global Studies Seminar features Denison professor Ron Abram to speak about “Fascination with the Foreigner: New Prints Made in Berlin and Dresden, Germany.”

In this artist talk, Dr. Abram will present an overview of work created in Berlin, Germany, and in an artist residency in Dresden this past autumn. The work focuses Queer themes of identity through the research and use of a particular historic site in East Berlin and Grimm Fairy Tales as metaphorical structures. The artist talk will be a visual demonstration of the project and focus upon the impact of a recent artist residency in Dresden and the Syrian Refugee crisis upon the trajectory of the imagery.

Denison University’s Global Studies Seminars are interdisciplinary intellectual forums to discuss and debate academic and policy issues of global importance.
