Join us for thematic tours inspired by our temporary exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900. These focused experiences in the galleries seek to help us more deeply consider works of art in light of the central theme, “Painting Generations,” woven through the exhibition. During the tour, participants will engage with works from the exhibition as well as a selected piece from the museum’s permanent collection. Our goal is to foster a broader conversation about the connections between art, culture, and the world around us while inviting a nuanced understanding of the themes that shape Osborne’s work.

MFA Students Pick Some Films for Us to WatchDirected by Sergei ParajanovWith Ivan Mikolaychuk, Larisa Kadochnikova, Tatyana BestayevaNot Rated, 96 minutesIn Ukrainian with English subtitlesWith a scheduled introduction by Daryna Gladun.Widely considered the most important film in the history of Ukrainian cinema, Sergei Parajanov's Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors is a masterwork that boldly combines folkloric pageantry, fairy tale mysticism, and frenetic, hallucinatory cinematography. Adapted from Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky's novel, Shadows tells the story of Ivan (Ivan Mykolaichuk), a young Hutsul peasant who witnesses his father's murder by the local miser. Years later, Ivan falls in love with the miser's daughter, Marichka (Larisa Kadochnikova), but her shocking death leaves him wallowing in grief until he meets Palahna (Tatyana Bestayeva), a beautiful woman who seems to restore his faith in life and hope for the future. When the ghost of Marichka begins to haunt Ivan, however, Palahna is driven into the arms of the local sorcerer (Spartak Bagashvili), with tragic results.Shadows is steeped in the earthy atmosphere of the Carpathian mountains; filmed by Parajanov and cinematographer Yuri Ilyenko with an eye for constantly innovative camera movements and vivid color; and suffused by Hutsul culture in the form of composer Myroslav Skoryk's collage-like score, which brings together Ukrainian folk melodies with modernist, experimental orchestration. It is one of cinema's singular productions, capturing the spiritual majesty of the past by creatively forging the medium's future. GET TICKETS
