RESCHEDULED -Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt

This event has been rescheduled to April 25th

The Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts is pleased to present Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt, an exhibition, lecture and booksigning with Jacqueline Thurston, on Saturday, March 14, 2020. The Opening Reception will begin at 2 pm, with the lecture presented at 4 pm. 

Jacqueline Thurston is an artist, writer, and Professor Emerita in the Department of Art and Art History at San Jose State University. She is twice the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Photography Grant and is a Fulbright Scholar to Egypt, with photographs in international and national public collections. Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt is written from the perspective of an artist with a deep and abiding interest in the psychoanalytic roots of symbol and metaphor, and “illustrated” with her own photographs.

 Sacred Deities of Ancient Egypt takes us on a personal journey to explore both the meaning—always with an eye toward contemporary relevance—and the astonishing beauty of ancient Egyptian art. With Thurston as our guide, we do not tread on familiar ground or rehash information found elsewhere, but rather participate in the artist’s quest for fresh insight as we plumb the profound depths of Egyptian cosmology.
