Leung Chi Wo (b. 1968, Hong Kong) and Sara Wong (b. 1968, Hong Kong) have collaborated since 1992. Leung Chi Wo and Sara Wong explore the anonymity of history by contemplating figures in the background of found snapshots. In their Museum of the Lost series, Leung and Wong re-enact the poses and attire of these unidentified, unaware “minor characters,” producing life-sized photographic prints and crafting accompanying texts that imagine their experiences and personalities. The artists’ exhibition focuses on works made from the photo albums of families in Nagoya, Japan, in which Leung and Wong challenge historical grand narratives and shed light on the poetics of photography.

Event Details

Join Marine Extension and Georgia Sea Grant in celebrating World Oceans Day at the UGA Marine Education Center and Aquarium on June 10 from 10 – 2 p.m. Throughout the day, we will be celebrating oysters, an important coastal habitat that provides a wealth of benefits to marine life and coastal communities.

As part of the celebration, we will debut a special art exhibition at the aquarium, “SUBMERGED: An Underwater Exhibition of Bioceramic Artwork,” that will feature pieces created by Assistant Professor Casey Schachner, a 2022 Georgia Sea Grant Artists, Writers, Scholar’s award recipient, and her students at Georgia Southern University Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art. The sculptures are made from a native algae material, and they will be displayed in the aquarium’s 16 exhibit tanks. During the event, some of the artists will be on hand to talk about the inspiration behind their artwork, which will eventually be placed in the Skidaway River behind the aquarium with the goal of forming new oyster reefs.

In addition to viewing the exhibition, staff at our Shellfish Research Lab, who specialize in oyster aquaculture and reef restoration, will be offering oyster-themed activities for people of all ages.

World Oceans Day is a FREE event for all visitors and registration is not required. All activities will take place between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. However, the aquarium will remain open until 5 p.m.

Event Details

The Georgia Historical Society (GHS) hosts a full-day, in-person professional development program for K-12 Georgia teachers at the GHS Research Center in Savannah, Georgia.

Designed with a focus on participants as both learners and educators, the session will blend historical content and primary source analysis with strategies for encouraging constructive conversations in the classroom.

Participation in this one-day event will provide teachers with a fuller picture of our state and national histories, making them better equipped to address the many challenging questions that arise when studying Georgia and American history.

As an exciting addition to this year’s program, participants will learn from and engage with Stan Deaton, Ph.D., the Dr. Elaine B. Andrews Distinguished Historian with the Georgia Historical Society and popular host of Today in Georgia History.

Through special presentations Dr. Deaton will explore the myth and impact of the Lost Cause as it developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and its continued influence on education over the last one hundred years. This program is supported by Gulfstream.

All participants will receive session materials aligned to the Georgia Standards of Excellence for use in their classrooms, including an instructional guide with classroom strategies and high-resolution scans of primary source materials.

Participants will receive documentation confirming completion of eight hours of professional development to submit to their administration, county, or district.

A registration fee of $20.00 is required, which will cover lunch. Spaces are limited. The registration fee is non-refundable.

GHS is offering a limited number of scholarships to participants from outside of the Savannah area to attend this year’s program. For more information, please email GHS Director of Community Partnerships and Special Projects, Dr. Anastacia Scott, at ascott@georgiahistory.com. In the body of the email please indicate where you are traveling from and describe your need for the award to offset your travel and lodging expenses. Please also explain your interest in this professional development opportunity and how it will help you reach your classroom goals, and improve your ability to engage with complex historical topics.

This professional opportunity is supported in part by Gulfstream Aerospace.
