Join us for a presentation on "Making the Queenly Body in the Hellenistic World" by Patricia Eunji Kim, New York University.
If male nudity was a costume in Greek art, how did royal women throughout the Hellenistic ‘wear the female body’ in their representations? In this talk, Kim discusses the ways that the Ptolemaic queen’s body was both conceptually and physically made for diverse, public audiences to see. Building on important conversations around fusion, hybridity, and cross-cultural entanglements in Hellenistic-period visual and material culture, Kim turns her focus to the stakes of the Ptolemaic queen’s body in dynastic and imperial politics.
