Evening at the Museum: Bodies, Gender & Identity in Antiquity

Come spend an evening at the Museum of Ancient Art and Archaeology — after hours! Join us for a guided tour of the museum, with wine, cake, and a chance to challenge everything you thought you knew about gender in ancient Greece and Rome🫶 Were ancient ideas about gender really so clear-cut? Were mortals often transformed into another gender? Was cross-dressing common? And how did people in Antiquity understand bodies and identities that didn’t fit neatly into familiar categories? From divine transformations to surprising depictions of the human body, we’ll explore the myths, stories, and objects that reveal a more complex picture of gender in the ancient world. Come for the art, stay for the wine and cake, and leave with a fresh perspective on Antiquity. 🏛️🍷 What to expect: Guided tour tailored to the topic of gender perceptions and representations in the Antiquity an open discussion and other fun activities Wine and cake 🎟️ The event is free , but registration is required so we know how much cake to get and avoid food waste. _______________________________________________ 🌍 About Culture Meets Culture Meets is a series of monthly gatherings where we come together to share stories, exchange traditions, and celebrate meaningful events from around the world.
