Yearlong Programs
In conjunction with the exhibition, Vision and Design: A Year of Bloomsbury, a series of programs has been organized at Duke to celebrate how Bloomsbury challenged conventional wisdom through active and ongoing conversation -- in their art, their writings, their activism as well as in one-on-one repartee in each others' living rooms. While showcasing an important exhibition of Bloomsbury art, this yearlong programming is an extraordinary model of what can be achieved in a university setting. A schedule of programs is listed at right. For a brief video clip about the yearlong program, scroll down to screen below.

Join us for the upcoming Film Series at the Nasher and the 2008 Off-Broadway revival of Vita & Virginia. For more information on each session, please click here.

Nasher Exhibition
An exhibition, A Room of their Own: The Bloomsbury Artists in American Collections, at the Nasher Museum of Art has been organized to coincide with the 100-year anniversary of Bloomsbury's beginnings that will examine how America reacted to the art produced between 1910 and the 1970s by the Bloomsbury artists, their associates, and collaborators.

Duke in Depth Weekend
This year's Duke in Depth weekend, February 27-28, 2009, celebrated a culmination of the yearlong programs at Duke designed to illuminate the Bloomsbury Group and showcase the Bloomsbury exhibition of works at the Nasher Museum of Art.

The Bloomsbury Group was a societal phenomenon in Great Britain at the close of the Edwardian Age. Members Virginia Woolf, John Maynard Keynes, E.M. Forster, and Lytton Strachey professed radical views and lived lives that were considered scandalous in the early 1900s. Collectively, they deeply influenced literature, aesthetics, criticism, and economics as well as modern attitudes towards feminism, pacifism, and sexuality.
