SUMMARY:Conscience and Coercion: The Early Protestants of Amiens\, 1530-1650; Traces of Their Lives - A gallery talk by David Rosenberg
DESCRIPTION:Explore acts of resistance and official persecution of French Protestants during the early Reformation. This new exhibit from the research of Dr. David Rosenberg features the signatures of over 100 Protestants of Amiens\, France\, as well as the records of their official targeting for heresy. \n\n\n\nThis research demonstrates how French political and religious leaders surveilled and persecuted members of this new minority\, while also illuminating the experiences of the Protestants themselves\, including interrogations\, exile\, execution\, and book burnings\, as well as acts of resistance through civil disobedience.  \n\n\n\nTonight\, join Dr. Rosenberg for a discussion of his research\, the delicate process of piecing together an individual’s life from scattered archival clues\, and the continued resonance today of this striking example of historical oppression. \n\n\n\nDr. David Rosenberg received a Ph.D. in European History from Yale University with a dissertation on the Protestant movement in Amiens in the 16th century\, focusing on the attitudes of weavers and wool combers towards Protestantism. The exhibit “Conscience and Coercion” represents over fifty years of archival research on this topic. In 2013 Dr. Rosenberg was named a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government\, and he received the Medal of the City of Amiens in 2023 for his contributions to the history and memory of that region. \n\n\n\nThis exhibit will be on display in the 2nd Floor Lincoln Gallery from August 27 through September 25 during regular Library hours. Learn more at www.protestantsofamiens.com. \n\n\n\nRegistration for this gallery talk is appreciated\, but not required. Please click here to register.

SUMMARY:National Tattoo Day
DESCRIPTION:July 17 is National Tattoo Day! Join us to learn about the history and cultural significance of tattooing\, and share the stories behind your own tattoos! \n\n\n\nTattooing has been a part of human cultural expression for over 5\,000 years – the first known tattooed person is Ötzi\, the Iceman\, whose mummified remains were discovered in the Alps in 1991 (Ötzi had sixty-one individual tattoos!). Tattoos have been used in rites of passage\, as marks of bravery and accomplishment\, and as protective religious talismans. In the twentieth century\, tattoos have been associated with sailors\, prisoners\, and gang members; today tattoos are so mainstream that almost everyone knows someone with some ink. \n\n\n\nJoin artist Tony Frank of Infinite Image Tattoo Studio and photographer Mark Perrott\, author of Tattoo Witness\, as they discuss this unique field of art. Afterwards\, we invite attendees to share a few words about the personal meaning behind your own tattoos! If you would like to speak\, please indicate that when you register. \n\n\n\nRegistration is appreciated\, but not required for attendees who do not wish to speak. If you do wish to speak\, registration is required. Please click here to register! \n\n\n\nInterested in speaking? We ask that each speaker keep your comments to around five minutes or less. Please ensure that your story is PG-13 rated or lower. If the tattoo you wish to share is on a part of your body normally covered by clothing\, you may bring a photograph to share (no nudity in the photo\, please).
