Episode 22: Adventure Racing

Sonja Wieck is an elite athlete and self-described adventure girl who has completed 18 Ironman races. In 2019, she and her team were selected to compete in “The World’s Toughest Race: EcoChallenge Fiji” hosted by Bear Grylls on Amazon Prime (which you can see now!).

In this conversation we talk riding mountain bikes that are way too big for you; swimming with 3,000 of your closest friends; Fijian women with donuts; panic attacks; learning what you’re really capable of; and so much more. So find out why Sonja loves adventure racing - and why you might learn to love it, too!

If you live in or around Philadelphia, and you don’t have plans for November 15-17, and you have an extra $35, please consider attending this year’s Schoenberg Symposium - it’s going to be amazing!

11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age

November 15-17, 2018

Illuminations: Manuscript, Medium, Message

In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Schoenberg Institute of Manuscript Studies (SIMS) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 11th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age.

https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/events/kislak/SIMS/ljs-symposium11

Manuscript illumination has often been considered in relation to the texts it accompanies, but rarely in terms of its interplay with other artistic media. Historically, however, the technique was closely associated with other forms of artistic expression and served as a crucial point of contact and transfer for visual motifs across space and time. The goal of this year’s symposium is to examine cases of intermedial exchange through the lenses of technique, style, iconography, social context, and cultural geography, while also posing broader questions about the deep connections between the craft of illumination and other arts more widely. Of special interest will be insights gained from the technical examination of works in different media, new comparisons made possible by digital technology, and the discovery of linkages once obscured by strict historiographical divisions

The program will begin Thursday evening at 5:00 pm on November 15, 2018, at the Free Library of Philadelphia, Parkway Central Library, with a keynote lecture by Professor Susie Nash, Courtauld Institute of Art. The symposium will continue November 16th-17th at the Kislak Center of Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries.
