Activating Kore 670: Women's Voices and Greek
Tragedy<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?t…
Sat., Dec. 2
MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS, BOSTON, Early Greek Art Gallery, 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA
02115
In celebration of Kore 670, a stunning archaic Greek statue now on view in Gallery 213,
see live performances by Emerson College students and area high school students adapting
excerpts from ancient Greek tragedies. From Elektra and Antigone to Cassandra and
Iphigenia, women featured prominently in ancient Greek theater, yet their roles were
performed by men. In three 20-minute performances, students studying theater actively
disrupt that traditional practice, revealing how gender bias��both in the ancient world
and now��is hardly a new concept.

Which colors did ancient Greek and Roman artists use, and how have we discovered their
choices? What is polychromy, and how does it influence our understanding of the ancient
world? This talk explores both the overt and covert colors within our ancient art
collection, with a special emphasis on Greek vase paintings, marble sculpture, and Roman
wall paintings.
