Gianturco to give women’s lecture

Paola Gianturco, a photographer, author and advocate for women’s rights will give a lecture on her work from 7 to 9 p.m. today in the Doudna Fine Arts Center’s Lecture Hall.

The lecture is a part of the Meaningful Work series presented by the Center for Translational Humanities.

“The Center for Translational Humanities is a study center in the College of Arts and Humanities designed to generate conversations that challenge and define our culture and our methods of investigation,” said Janet Marquardt, director of CTH.

During the lecture, Gianturco will speak about experiences she had in different cultures with women who overcame harsh situations.

“I’m really hoping we can awaken an interest on campus and in the community to help fight the harshness of much ongoing gender inequality and injustices and become part of Gianturco’s efforts to bring information about women’s issues to the public and affect change through the organizations she supports,” Marquardt said.

The Tarble Arts Center is exhibiting photographs by Gianturco and she will speak at the Tarble Arts Center at 4 p.m. on Jan. 13 about the photographs and her book, “Celebrating Women.”

“Gianturco’s photographs help open the door to the visual experience of truly seeing other women as beautiful, resilient, creative, intelligent,and important,” Marquardt said.

Rachel Rodgers can be reached at 581-2812 or rjrodgers@eiu.edu.
