YURT CONSTRUCTION AND TALK
This fall Mount Holyoke Professors Christopher Pyle, Stephen Jones, and Peter
Scotto together, with students will re-build a yurt, a tent-like structure,
on Skinner Green in conjunction with our fall exhibition, Ancient Bronzes of
the Asian Grasslands. While the yurt replaces traditional with modern materials,
the principles of its construction are entirely consistent with those of yurts
indigenous to the Eurasian steppe. Since it was first erected on Skinner Green,
the yurt has exercised a strange fascination for MHC students. No sooner does
it go up, then students take their sleeping bags and camp out under its broad
canvas dome. This source of its uncanny power has yet to be determined. A short
talk will follow.
WHEN
23 September, 4:00 pm (rain date Wednesday, 24 September)
