Conversation: Homer's Odyssey in Art and Popular Culture

A conversation at the Art Institute's Rubloff Auditorium on Thursday evening, August 27, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, exploring how Homer's *Odyssey* has shaped art and popular culture over the last three millennia. Curator Lisa Ayla Çakmak and interpretation director Ginia Shubik Sweeney will trace the epic's influence through works in the museum's own collection and its ongoing resonance with contemporary audiences. The program is free but requires registration; it also comes with museum admission for those arriving early. Closed captioning will be available.
