At first\, we try to situate the story of Babel in a non-Western context\, highlighting non-European languages. The exhibit then traces the Renaissance study of languages through the lens of the Bible and its translations and of ancient material relics\, such as obelisks\, coins\, and other remains. We also showcase the tools scholars produced to study languages—for example\, medieval and Renaissance-era grammar books and lexicons. The exhibit ends with a reflection on the impact of language study and classification on the formation of identities and prejudices in the Western world. How did early 20th-century Westerners classify languages and peoples? What does it say about their understanding of nationalities and cultures and their place within a society of their own? \nThe exhibit was curated by Gabriella DiMeglio\, Miriam Krakowski\, FCRH ’27\, and Magda Teter.

The “Wartime Beauty” exhibition is a collaboration between the Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery. \nThe Refuge Gallery is open during regular business hours Monday-Thursday. Please ring the institute’s bell to enter the building. Guided tours are available upon request at schapnin@fordham.edu of The Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC). \n“Wartime Beauty“\nThe Orthodox Christian Studies Center at Fordham University (OCSC) has unveiled a milestone exhibition\, “Wartime Beauty\,” marking a historic moment for contemporary Christian art from Ukraine. Curated by Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibition presents recent works by Ukrainian iconographers Sofia Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko\, highlighting unique blend of traditional iconography in a modern context. \nThis exhibition is a collaboration between The Refuge Gallery and C-Icon Art Gallery and signifies a shared commitment to exploring contemporary interpretations of Christian art and supporting the Ukrainian people in their quest for freedom and independence. At the heart of the exhibition is Mariupol Deisis (2022)\, a striking series of 11 icons from Atlantova and Klymenko’s Icons on Ammo Boxes project. \nChapnin explains\, “Their work departs from certain Byzantine iconographic conventions\, not as a rejection\, but as a bold reimagining of Eastern Orthodox tradition\, reminding us of the enduring desire for beauty that resonates with prayer.” The artists encourage viewers to look beyond the rough\, unrefined wood of the ammo boxes\, signaling that the spiritual authenticity of their work emerges through each viewer’s perception. \nSince its inception amid Ukraine’s struggle in 2014\, Icons on Ammo Boxes has reshaped how sacred art\naddresses themes of suffering and resilience. In a time of conflict\, holy icons—traditional symbols of holiness and the communion of saints in the Orthodox Christian tradition—reflect the fractures of war yet continue to declare the abiding presence of God\, His Holy Mother\, and the Saints alongside human anguish. \n“It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\,” said Sergei Chapnin\, the exhibit’s curator. \nThis exhibition not only celebrates the collaboration between OCSC and The Refuge Gallery but also sets a foundation for future explorations of Christian art in a changing world. Sergei Chapnin noted\, “It was a true blessing to bring these icons from Ukraine\, and we hope the exhibition will inspire Fordham’s faculty\, students\, and guests\, as well as audiences in other U.S. cities and universities.” \n  URL:https://now.fordham.edu/event/wartime-beauty-at-refuge-gallery/ LOCATION:IIHA Refuge Gallery located on the second floor in Canisius Hall. 2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, NY 10458\, 2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, New York City\, NY\, 10458\, United States CATEGORIES:Arts at Fordham ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://now.fordham.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/04-3-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs":MAILTO:iiha@fordham.edu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250116T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250116T150000 DTSTAMP:20250514T225754 CREATED:20241119T143228Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241119T143228Z UID:10007598-1737018000-1737039600@now.fordham.edu SUMMARY:Mental Health and Crime: A Path to Safety for All DESCRIPTION:A joint symposium with the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City\, Fordham University\, and Northwell Health. \nThe symposium’s goal is to emerge with an actionable path forward to this critical challenge by bringing together mental health professionals\, legal experts\, educators\, and law enforcement to improve outcomes and enhance public safety. \nThere is no registration fee\, but registration in advance is required.
