Sekhmet Unraveled is a multi-media, multi-modal, multi-lingual (English, Arabic, Fadjiki) performance that uses our personal stories and cultural histories to draw parallels between the migration of humans and artifacts.
Jun 1
Tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2nd, 6pm - 8pm at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology
Poetry, movement, and theater merge contemporary realities with ancestral memories to re-author the histories of Egyptology and examine what it means to be Egyptian, Nubian, and American. Sekhmet Unraveled invites audiences to celebrate contemporary and ancient cultures in a museum space and rethink how they engage with history, art, and heritage within and beyond the museum.
This event is free and open to the public and is appropriate for all ages; please enter through the Kelsey Museum’s Maynard Street entrance. The performance will take place from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, with a talkback session and refreshments to follow.
