Event Description
More than simply recording names and dates, the shapes, colors, and visual motifs of memorial stones can tell us much about the people whose lives they commemorate and the world in which they lived. Dr Lindsey Row-Hyveld’s program will introduce you to the design trends and symbolic vocabulary or funerary art so that you can better understand the ideas, values, and messages encoded in Midwestern cemeteries.
