Join an in-depth presentation by Marius B. Hauknes, Ailsa Mellon Bruce Senior Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, on how artists portrayed the concept of chaos through representations of waters, seas, and rivers in the medieval period.
In considering these images, Hauknes’ talk argues that such mythopoetic depictions pave the way for later representations of chaos as instruments for political, ethnic, and religious othering.
