The first film in this year’s Cathy and Morris

Israel, profiling chefs, home cooks, vintners,
and cheese-makers drawn from the more than
one hundred cultures that make up Israel
today – Jewish, Arab, Muslim, Christian, Druze.
A rich and human story of the people emerges.

MORRIS BART SR., LECTURE
SERIES AT THE J
THE ORIENTAL SOUTH: THE
ENSLAVED MIXED-RACE BEAUTY
IN BRITISH ART AFTER 1865
In 1868, three years after the end of the
American Civil War and the abolition of slavery,
fashionable British sculptor John Bell debuted
his work The Octoroon at the annual Royal
Academy exhibition in London. An unclothed,
alabaster beauty with dainty wrists bound in
chains, Bell’s sculpture represented a mixedrace slave girl from Louisiana. Like previous
nude marble sculptures of lovely female
captives, most notably Hiram Powers’ Greek
Slave, The Octoroon ostensibly aimed to inspire
the Victorian viewers beyond their erotic
impulses to the highest echelons of moral and
aesthetic contemplation. However, in this case,
racial difference made all the difference. The
“exotic” racial identity of Bell’s sculpture –
seven parts white, the last eight black – could
prompt viewers to read cold, white marble as
hot, sensuous flesh! Using Bell’s The Octoroon
as a case study, but attending to other examples as well, this talk by Mia Bagneris, Assistant Professor of History of Art at Tulane, will
explore the faddish fascination with beautiful,
light-skinned slave girls in British Victorian
culture, especially after the abolition of slavery
made the political mobilization of such figures
moot. Lunch will be served. RSVP by Thursday,
September 8 to Rachel Ruth at 897-0143 or
rachel@nojcc.org.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12
11:45 AM - 1:30 PM
MY CAMINO JOURNEY
JCC member Ramon Vallejo will speak on his
experiences, observations and reflections
from his May - June 2016 journey walking the
Camino de Santiago de Compostela (The Way
of St. James), one of the three major Catholic
spiritual pilgrimages. The Camino de Santiago
is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes
stretching across Europe and coming together
at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish)
in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain.
A light lunch will be served. RSVP by Monday,
September 12, to Rachel Ruth at 897-0143 or
rachel@nojcc.org.
12:00 - 1:30 PM
NUTRITION IN OLDER ADULTS
Join Kerri Dotson RDN, LDN, Culinary Medicine
Educator at the Goldring Center for Culinary
Medicine. During this presentation attendees

will learn how nutrition needs change as we
age. We will discuss barriers to healthy food
intake including financial, physical, and
physiological obstacles and explore creative
solutions to overcome them. Bring your own
lunch. Dessert and coffee will be served. A live
cooking demonstration will follow the
presentation. RSVP by Monday, September 19,
to Rachel Ruth at 897-0143 or rachel@nojcc.org.
12:00 - 1:30 PM
