Join Sarah Mallory, Ph.D. candidate in Harvard’s Department of History of Art and Architecture, for an in-depth discussion about the emergence of the modern notion of ecology in the 18th century as it was articulated in selected works in the special exhibition Dare to Know: Prints and Drawings in the Age of Enlightenment.
Featuring approximately 150 works on paper and other related objects, Dare to Know explores how the graphic arts inspired, shaped, and gave immediacy to new ideas in the Enlightenment era by encouraging individuals to follow their own reason when seeking to know more. An illustrated catalogue with 26 thematic essays—an A to Z exploration of the Enlightenment quest for understanding and change—accompanies the exhibition.
