SUMMARY:Coins as Adornment in Amazigh Jewelry at Yale University Art Gallery
DESCRIPTION:A gallery talk at the Yale University Art Gallery will explore the cultural and economic significance of Amazigh (Berber) jewelry from Morocco\, focusing on the use of coins as adornment. Presented by Georgia LaMacchia\, Ph.D. candidate in Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations and Graduate Curatorial Intern in the Departments of African Art and Numismatics\, the talk highlights a selection of necklaces dating from the late 18th to early 20th century. \nThese intricate pieces\, made from silver coins\, coral\, amber\, and glass beads\, served both as personal adornment and as financial and spiritual assets. The necklaces were often handed down through generations\, adapted for marital use\, or sold in times of economic need. Their design also reflects their role in protecting wearers from harmful forces\, demonstrating the deep symbolic and practical value of these objects. \nThe talk will take place at 12:30 pm on May 14\, 2025\, at the Yale University Art Gallery\, 1111 Chapel Street\, New Haven\, Connecticut. \nFor more information\, visit artgallery.yale.edu.

SUMMARY:TWAIN’TS with Kevin Mac Donnell at Mark Twain House Museum
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Trouble Begins Series\, the Mark Twain House & Museum presents TWAIN’TS with Kevin Mac Donnell on Wednesday\, May 14\, 2025\, at 7:00 pm. This in-person event explores how Mark Twain’s image\, style\, and characters have been reimagined\, appropriated\, or parodied in works not actually authored by Twain himself—what Mac Donnell calls “Twain’ts.” \nFrom 1870 to the present day\, these cultural artifacts include novels inspired by Adventures of Huckleberry Finn\, advertising misattributions\, and even the earliest Twain-themed bookplates. Through humorous and thought-provoking examples\, Mac Donnell reveals how these works—both sincere and exploitative—highlight Twain’s lasting influence and reflect the changing values and culture of the times in which they were created. \nThe Trouble Begins Series features renowned scholars who examine Twain’s legacy in the context of broader historical and contemporary themes. \nThe Mark Twain House & Museum is located at 351 Farmington Avenue\, Hartford\, Connecticut. \nAdmission is free\, and registration is encouraged. For more information\, visit marktwainhouse.org or contact info@marktwainhouse.org.
