The Cult of the Virgin Mary in Medieval Italy
Late medieval Italy witnessed the widespread rise of the cult of the Virgin, as reflected in the profusion of paintings, sculptures, and fresco cycles created in her honor during this period. The cathedral of papal Orvieto especially reflects the strong Marian tradition through its fresco and stained-glass window narrative cycles. In this study, Sara James explores its complex narrative programs. She demonstrates how a papal plan for the cathedral to emulate the basilica of S. Maria Maggiore in Rome, together with Dominican and Franciscan texts, determined the choices and arrangement of scenes. The result is a tour de force of Marian devotion, superior artistry, and compelling story-telling. James also shows how the narratives promoted agendas tied to the city's history and principal religious feasts. Not only are these works more interesting, sophisticated, and theologically rich than previously realized, but, as James argues, each represents the acme in their respective media of their generation in central Italy.
Rise Up
Drawing on new research, centring Black voices and perspectives, and celebrating Black Cambridge history, Rise Up focuses on the period from 1750 to 1850, when Britain became the world's first industrialised nation and one of history's largest empires. At the same time, Britain played a central role in the Atlantic slave trade, trafficking more captive African people than any other European power. Millions were forcibly abducted and transported to work on British-owned plantations in the Caribbean and Americas. In Britain, Black and white anti-slaverygroups and individuals campaigned for abolition. Despite opposition, laws were gradually enacted to abolish the slave trade in 1807, and enslavement in 1833. However, other exploitative systems including apprenticeship and indentured labour took their place. Financial compensation was awarded to former enslavers while the formerly enslaved received nothing. This is the story of the fight to end Atlantic slavery, its aftermath and ongoing legacies. It is told through the stories of individuals from across the Black Atlantic - many silenced or pushed to the margins. It interrogates historic objects and artworks from collections across the University of Cambridge and beyond, in conversation with responses from contemporary artists. Despite the passing of almost two centuries since Britain outlawed slavery, the struggles for autonomy, equality and social justice continue today.

Foster alliances.""If there was ever a time that the world needed artists, it is now. We need their radical ideas, visions, and perspectives in society.""There are many amazing unrealized projects out there: forgotten projects, misunderstood projects, lost projects, desk-drawer projects, poetic-utopian dream projects, unrealizable projects, partially realized projects, censored projects and so on.""I believe in generosity as a medium."

The Forms of Silence [ street photography ]
The Forms of Silence: Street Photography began many years ago with a simple but life-changing piece of advice from three dear friends-Tim, Shaba, and Paul-all experienced artists, publishers, and photographers. They saw something in me I hadn't yet recognized: that I had "the eye" for photography. Their encouragement led me to pick up a small camera and wander the streets, capturing fragments of life and experimenting with the way light and shadow converse. This journey, now approaching a decade, has been sustained by the unwavering support of those closest to me-my parents, siblings, my wife, my children, and friends like Johannes and Dave of the CEC family, who have walked beside me through every stage. Their belief in me, through seasons of uncertainty and wonder alike, has been a quiet but constant anchor.As a sociologist and theologian, my professional life is rooted in listening to the struggles and hopes of marginalized communities-work that often brings me to the edges of human vulnerability and resilience. Amid this intensity, I found myself longing for silence. Street and urban photography became that silence: a way to stand still, to breathe, and to find beauty in the overlooked corners of the everyday. I have always been drawn to the quiet transformations of the city - the way rain turns streets into living paintings, or how fallen leaves scatter like the soft kisses of Mother Nature upon the earth. These are the gestures that remind me there is poetry hidden everywhere, waiting patiently to be noticed.I don't see this book-or my work-as a masterpiece, for there are true masters of photography from whom I still have much to learn. Rather, I see it as a trace of my search-a personal record of listening for stillness in a world that rarely stops shouting.Sam Lee

Unbound Queer Time in Literature, Cinema, and Video Games
Unbound Queer Time in Literature, Cinema, and Video Games investigates the potential of queer conceptions of time to unbind forms of understanding identities. In doing so, it recognizes the power of time to determine us but chooses to queer time and turn it into an ally of unbound forms of understanding identities.Through the analysis of different media--literature, cinema, and video games--the chapters revolve around three key ideas: that there are inherently queer styles of using and dealing with time and temporality in culture; that the critical rediscovery of canonical texts and the analysis of largely ignored queer texts and authors allow for a better understanding of queer identities; and, finally, that normative conceptions of time can--and should--be challenged through critical tools that reconceptualize notions of the self around time.This volume will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers working close to areas such as queer and gender studies, media and cinema studies, cultural studies, literary theory, comparative literature, game studies, and art history.

Yolŋu Power
Offers a comprehensive insight into a group of world-recognized and celebrated artistsThe art of Yirrkala is inextricably intertwined with its cultural, political, and social history. For almost one hundred years, artists from this small community in north-east Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory have shared art as a means of cultural diplomacy--as a respectful assertion of power in its diverse forms, from sovereignty to influence, authority, and control, to energy, strength, and pride.Published in association with a major survey at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney, Yolŋu Power features over two hundred works from the 1940s to the present day. It considers the significant moments in Yirrkala's history when artists have consciously altered their practice, developed new styles, or embraced new mediums. It also contextualizes the work of individual artists within the broader school of artists from Yirrkala and surrounding Miwatj Country. An essay by the exhibition's curator, Cara Pinchbeck, provides an overview of the various innovative art practices in Yirrkala, examining the influence of inheritance, family connections, and acts of diplomacy and activism. Djambawa Mariwili and Kade McDonald discuss the nuances of speaking for Country (land, sea, and sky), and Will Stubbs writes on the power embodied in Yolŋu art. The plates are interspersed with voices from Yirrkala, past and present, offering a range of perspectives on the visual culture of this important art center.Exhibition Dates: June 21-October 6, 2025 Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney
Heart to Art Comparative Analysis
Readers may ask why authors write art books. What is the benefit of this book and all my other art-themed books? Well, it is to document, not just for me, but for historical value, my life and the lives of all artists that I feature from a diverse category of famous and not-so-famous artists. Developing a track record of our work is essential not just for us but for the next generation of artists on the horizon. Recall that many artists gained fame and fortune after their time, long after their gravestones needed remodeling. Vincent van Gogh is one such artist who only sold one painting in his lifetime. His fame and fortune came through his wife and brother, his posthumous advocates who shone the spotlight on his works. Well, I am not waiting to die as there might not be activists ready and willing to take on such a challenge on my behalf, especially since I spent 20 years studying to be a business person, an educator, and not an artist of any measure. You, the readers, are my only hope. Go for it!

Maya Lin, Public Art, and the Confluence Project
The first scholarly monograph devoted exclusively to this vital work of contemporary public art, this book examines Maya Lin's Confluence Project through the lens of environmental humanities and Indigenous studies. Matthew Reynolds provides a detailed analysis of each earthwork, along with a discussion of the proposed final project at Celilo Falls near The Dalles, Oregon. The book assesses the artist's longtime engagement with the region of the Pacific Northwest and explores the Confluence Project within Lin's larger oeuvre. Several consistent themes and experiences are common amongst all the sites. These include an emphasis on individual, multisensory encounters with the earthworks and their surrounding contexts; sound as an experiential dimension of landscape; indexical accounts of the multicultural, multispecies histories of each place; and an evocation of loss. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, environmental studies, environmental humanities, and Native American studies.

The Ark
This book presents the Church's new exhibition, The Ark, uniting powerful animal sculptures that, like Noah's Ark, offers hope that humanity's compassion and creativity can guide us through global crises. An undeniable pall hangs over the future of our world, with prospects looking increasingly uncertain and frightful. The interlocking social, political, and environmental crises exist on a planetary scale. However, from antiquity forward, the idea of an ark gave hope that humanity will, through resourcefulness, compassion, and solidarity, shepherd the world beyond catastrophe. The Ark, an extraordinary exhibition at The Church in Sag Harbor, brings together sculptures from several generations of artists who have captured humanity's deepest pleasures and fears through imagination and self-expression. Curated by renowned artist Eric Fischl, this collection resonates with the ancient story of survival against overwhelming odds. Within this contemporary ark, you'll discover sculptures that embody the inherent beauty of animals while simultaneously exploring the mythic, visual, and cultural with unexpected power. This book presents works that are not mere representations but embodiments of mysteries in our struggle for survival and protection against a hostile world. From Louise Bourgeois's monumental spiders to Deborah Butterfield's reclining horses, from William Kentridge's bronze pigeons to Jane Rosen's ethereal glass raptors--each piece invites contemplation of our place in nature.
