Information Session: Landscape Stories: Art and Ecology in Siena

Description

Looking for an experience abroad that will leave you feeling like a local? Explore the city and culture of Siena, Italy for a month of artistic, sustainable and intercultural skill building. A Tuscan hill town that flourished during the Middle Ages, Siena is home to the Sienese School of Painting (Duccio, Lorenzetti, et al), medieval traditions of performances, a wide variety of lived experiences, and rituals that constantly redefine the local landscape. For example the Palio, a horse race recorded as early as 1232, still runs each year. Participants will visit a variety of museums, churches, collections and special access archives in Siena and daytrips to Florence and San Gimignano. The creative process of artworks is supported by the study of Siena’s socio-ecological efforts in promoting agro-sustainability and land heritage through eco-artistic discourses.
