El Anatsui: When I Last Wrote to You about Africa, the Ghanaian artist’s first career retrospective, makes its U.S. debut at the Davis. Widely lauded for magnificent large-scale wall hangings made from thousands of discarded liquor-bottle tops “sewn” together with copper wire, and for installation pieces similarly crafted from refuse, Anatsui draws on traditional idioms and contemporary art practices to create work that resonates materially and symbolically with the cultural and historical conditions of West Africa. The exhibition, which features 54 works from the artist’s four-decade career, encompasses sculptures in wood, ceramic, and metal, as well as rarely seen paintings and drawings. A richly illustrated catalogue, with entries by

Houghton Chapel The Collegium, directed by Tom Zajac, specializes in the performance of music from the Middle Ages to the late 17th century; its spring program will explore music by nuns in 17th century Italy. Recent research into the musical programs of Renaissance and early Baroque Italian convents, have yielded musical compositions stunning in both their numbers and quality. These sacred works by women composers have only recently been brought to light, and show a quality and sophistication equal to those of contemporary male composers. Alongside these choral works, Collegium instrumentalists will perform several early Italian sonatas and dances.

BABSON COLLEGE
ARTS CALENDAR [BABSON, OLIN, WELLESLEY] : [APRIL 14-APRIL 20] "I AM __________ AND I WAS BORN THIS WAY." The most creative delivery will get a special prize! Those who participate will get a special t-shirt to be worn on 4/13 where a special campus-wide event will take place. If seen with your T-shirt on 4/13, you will receive a raffle ticket to be entered to win a new iPad2! The “Born This Way: Beyond Bias” campaign was conceptualized out of a passion to create exposure around comments being said, and actions taking place in residence halls, classrooms, during and after Knight parties, and “after hours” all over campus. Sometimes these incidents are reported, sometimes they are not. Either way, they leave students feeling marginalized and unwelcomed. As aspiring entrepreneurs, engineers, and global citizens, your professional and personal success will be determined by your ability to recognize talent and opportunity and solve real world problems. The real world is comprised of real people. Real people are white, female, Latino, gay, black, heterosexual, Muslim, male, lesbian, Christian, Asian, transgendered, African, bisexual, European and much more. Instead, the goal is to celebrate the unique spirit of our community and ensure that everyone feels welcome.
