GMALL Presents - The Art of Corn

Green Mountain Academy welcomes food scholar and author, Darra Goldstein, to talk about The Art of Corn. This program looks at imagery that takes corn as its subject, in the process showing how corn moves from material to metaphor. From ancient Aztec statues to high-fashion couture, art that depicts corn or uses it as a medium goes beyond the aesthetic to reveal larger societal and cultural concerns. This talk explores the sociocultural meanings of corn as represented in paintings, photographs, and other art forms, including handicrafts like corncob dolls. Registration is $20 per person.
