Nearly half a century after their creation, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.theartofelainegignilliat.com/collection" rel="nofollow noopener">Elaine Gignilliat’s</a> remarkable romance cover paintings are being shown publicly for the first time.
Through a panel conversation featuring Gignilliat's daughter, Laura Sawyer, and voices from art history and the romance community, we'll explore how Gignilliat used composition, color, historical settings, and the expressive language of the human figure to capture the drama, desire, and emotional complexity of human relationships.
Featuring new additions to the exhibition alongside paintings already on view, the evening offers a chance to experience these remarkable works at full scale and discover the extraordinary artistry behind their familiar paperback covers.
Together, we'll look beyond the book covers to discover the artistry behind these paintings, their place in the history of romance, and what makes them compelling works of art in their own right.

Cambridge Public Library

Brook Farm Institute for Critical Studies welcomes Irus Braverman as the next speaker in our public lecture series, Critical Interventions:
Animals have long played important roles in human warfare. Drawing on ethnographic research and on her own experiences growing up in Palestine-Israel, Braverman will explore how nonhuman animals have become active participants in Israeli warfare and how warfare itself has been shaped by their presence. Introducing the concept of "multispecies warfare," she will show that animals are not simply instruments of military violence, but that they also acquire political significance through animal welfare regulations, animal rights initiatives, property regimes, and environmental protections. Sheep seize territory through grazing, dogs become subjects of rescue and humanization, donkeys sustain mobility under siege, crocodiles operate as imagined security technologies, and camel movement becomes criminalized through conservation laws. Warfare, then, is enacted through both violence and care. By tracing unexpected connections between humans, animals, and war, Braverman will offer a new way of thinking about warfare itself: not as an exclusively human endeavor, but as a complex multispecies project that shapes political worlds.
This free and public event will take place in the Community Room of the Cambridge Public Library.
