 the exhibition, archival research is juxtaposed with works of art from various mediums, as a means of building almost a new archive.
“When I thought of intervening in an archive, I thought of how can this show create a new archive, where we have videos, performances, there are photographs, there are paintings, there is a fresco on a building. This exhibition, in itself, can in a way intervene in the existing archivesâ€¦ it can question what we think an archive can be â€, Gearin said.
The pieces included in the exhibition cross not only mediums, but also time, starting with an advertisement from 1856 intended for “[commence] a village ‘around Tufts. Adjoining this advertisement is a portrait of Sachem of Mistick, a female tribal chief of Massachusetts from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, created by artist Lilly E. Manycolors. Further down the wall are artifacts and images of Royall House, an estate near the Tufts campus on which more than 60 people were enslaved from 1739 to 1779.
There are also works of more recent history. Towards the end of the exhibition are images illustrating the expansion of the New England Medical Center, of which Tufts was a part. This expansion began in 1970, and over the course of 15 years NEMC acquired numerous buildings in the Chinatown and South Cove neighborhoods, a move that many Boston Chinatown residents were ardently opposed to.
Gearin explained that the inclusion of images from this expansion was meant to emphasize that the university’s impact on the surrounding landscape is continuous.
“I wanted to make sure that [the exhibit] was not steeped in the past and, framing that idea, you might think of Tufts’ presence in the field as something that is constantly changing, and really, it is expanding â€, Gearin said.
The exhibition will also soon include undergraduate student projects in Ninian stein’s synthesis course on the environment.
According to Stein, who is a lecturer in environmental studies and anthropology, Synthesis projects are intended to reflect on the concept of institutional change – how people influence and communicate, and how people change institutions from within and without.
Communication is a key area of â€‹â€‹Stein’s research and teaching. Every year, she bring students from her “Environment, communication and culture â€ class at galleries, so that they can explore art as a medium of communication for difficult subjects.
Stein described the power of works of art to raise awareness of certain issues.
“I think art is a very powerful way to communicate around difficult topicsâ€¦ and it’s a wonderful way to think about different ways of receiving and communicating messages.” Stein said.
An element of the exhibition is located outside the gallery. It is ‘Wapka, ‘a mural that was created by Erin Genia, artist and lecturer at sculpture and performance department of the SMFA.
Bright and beautiful, ‘Wapka’ is an image of the Mystic River covered with images of the Anpa O Wicahnpi – Morningstar – which is the imagery of the Dakota. Genia is a Dakota person, member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate / Odawa, and it includes the Morningstar symbol in many of its coins. Genia used this symbol in “Wapka” to present an indigenous perspective on the river.. This fresco was commissioned by Abigail Satinsky, curator of art at the SMFA.
The Mystic River has strong ties to the history of Tufts. According to Hopkins, Charles Tufts was a descendant of Peter Tufts, who made money in the brick trade, an industry that extracted clay from the river and owned extensive farmland in the area.
Genia hopes that â€œWapkaâ€ and the other pieces included in the exhibit will inspire people to better understand various Indigenous philosophies and to think more critically about the history of different lands.
“I just wanted to share that indigenous peoples’ philosophies are really important, â€said Genia. â€œI think people need to better understand Aboriginal peopleâ€¦ and also the history of the place. The story that [children] are taught on this place is a whitewashed story that doesn’t give enough the facts.
Gearin noted that she wanted visitors to understand that the process of forming an institution like Tufts is not fluid, and on the contrary leaves a complex and lasting impact on the landscape.
â€œI guess the thesis of the exhibit is that Tufts and its campuses are not that organic entity that just appeared. [Tufts] didn’t just naturally merge over time, â€Gearin said. “I would also like very much that people leave with the idea that the idea of â€‹â€‹establishment, the idea of â€‹â€‹presence and expansion on the landscape, is in progress, it can take many forms and [it] impacts all types of people in multiple ways.
Plato’s attitude toward women has been a topic of interest throughout history and continues to be debated in present day society. His opinion of women has been interpreted in a number of different ways with some scholars hailing Plato as a feminist and one of the earliest advocates for women’s rights while others criticize his outlook on a woman’s role in society. An understanding of the origins of western views of women, Plato’s ideal state and the intentions behind his proposals, and the status of women in Athens during Plato’s time can give insight into Plato’s position on women.
The position of women in ancient Greece has evolved throughout western history. The Homeric poems which were composed in the eighth century B.C. give insight into the attitude toward women during this time in Greece.  However, in the Iliad Homer presented a new type of Greek hero with his character Hector. Hector was portrayed as both a warrior and a family man, and this resulted in a new warrior code. Hector presents a new warrior code in which affection for family, and particularly the wife, were incorporated. As a result, women’s traditional duties were reevaluated, and they were more included in society as a whole. Greater value was placed on the nuclear family, and there was a new attention to the wife’s social function. Men were still the only ones involved in socially relevant transactions and the woman’s role in society did not explicitly change; however, there was a greater importance placed on family and an ideological upgrade of the position of women (Arthur).
The Hesiodic poems of the seventh century B.C. portray a society in which there was greater class division. Competition among the members of this society placed women in a different role focused on bettering the economic and social status of their husband. The most crucial function of the woman was to provide an heir in order to maintain the rights to family land. In this society, women’s sexuality was viewed as a threat, and there was a general hostility and distrust toward women. Women were seen as needing to be regulated and controlled by the men, and as a result, a greater dichotomy between male and female arose (Arthur).
In the following century, Solon presented a society with new legislation. Under Solon’s legislation, women without brothers had the right to inherit their father’s land, but these property rights were limited. Furthermore, this inheritance was deemed as more of an assertion of the father’s rights and was an attempt to keep the woman in the family. The established duty of women was to be wives and mothers. This was a society in which the inferiority of women was not only implied, it was recognized. In this state, the social role of women did not fundamentally change; however, women were not seen as individuals, but as an aspect of man’s existence...
