Davis Museum at Wellesley College hosts symposium exploring “Antioch Today: Archeology, Labor, and Knowledge Production” on Sept. 25

In conjunction with the exhibition Excavating Antioch: The Archaeology of an Ancient City, this daylong, free, interdisciplinary symposium brings international scholars, curators, and conservators to Wellesley College for a public conversation about the ancient city of Antioch (now Antakya, Türkiye) and the modern afterlives of archaeological knowledge. Using Antioch as a case study, the program explores how the past is excavated, interpreted, and displayed, with particular attention to the ethical questions surrounding cultural heritage today. Speakers will address the history of excavation at Antioch, the labor involved in archaeological work, and ongoing debates about provenance, restitution, and global museum practice. The program includes two panels, a keynote lecture, and guided tours of the exhibition. Presentations will consider the responsibilities of museums in preserving and presenting cultural heritage, especially ancient mosaics and paintings. Designed for students, scholars, and the public, the symposium creates space for discussion and informal exchange, while connecting research with the objects, archives, and interpretive work on view in the exhibition. Free and open to the public.&nbsp; Register <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/antioch-today-archaeology-labor-and-knowledge-production-tickets-1998439559519">here</a>.&nbsp;
