Explore the preservation of India’s ancient manuscripts at Roberta’s Art Gallery with “The Aesthetic Shape of History,” an exhibit by Anthony Cerulli. Cerulli’s photographs, which will be on display through Dec. 11, demonstrate the power of the space in which physical archives are stored. He provides artistic value and insight into present history and culture through a significant mode of documentation and preservation.
“The Aesthetic Shape of History” is a selection of photographs that highlight Cerulli’s extensive photo-ethnographic art project, Manuscriptistan, which began in 2003. In 2015, Cerulli’s work in the field of South Asian Studies was recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship, a prestigious award given to those with exceptional work in the arts. This educational exhibit will feature photographs of archival manuscripts and artifacts from three states in India including Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, and Kerala. Cerulli states, “I aim to highlight the value of bringing sensual, spatial, and artistic awareness and consideration to the things with which, and the spaces in which we conduct research.”
Anthony Cerulli is a professor of South Asian Studies in the Department of Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Cerulli is also the director of the Center for South Asia and director of the Health and Humanities Program at UW-Madison.
An artist reception will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. where Professor Nathan McGovern and Dr. Ashley Dimmig will join Cerulli for a panel discussion on the beauty and historical importance of this work. McGovern teaches in the Department of Philosophy & Religious Studies at UW-Whitewater, focusing on Asian philosophy and ancient India. Dimmig teaches in the Department of Art and Design and is the director of the Crossman Gallery at the Center of the Arts at UW-Whitewater. The reception will also include an audience Q&A and an open house with refreshments.

It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. In honor of Veteran’s Day tomorrow, we salute the rapidly diminishing group of World War II veterans. The old Whitewater Armory was completed in 1942, during World War II and it was the logical site for the World War II “Honor Roll,” the list of names of people of the Whitewater area who were serving in the war. This post card, probably taken between 1942 and 1945 shows this large sign, clearly showing that most young men (and probably some women) in the area were serving.
We thank all veterans for their service, in war and in peacetime.
Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
