An Interdisciplinary Examination of the Egg in Culture & Society
About this Event

The egg comes in many forms, and we don’t just mean fried, scrambled, or poached. The egg serves as a window into anthropological, artistic, and media studies approaches to culture. This event showcases the egg's historical, symbolic, and divine use as an artifact through which various societies express and practice their cultures. We are scrambling the narrative of history with this interdisciplinary examination of what the egg is and how it is used. Whether that is the record-breaking, social media phenomenon or the symbolic token of rebirth in the Renaissance. Come join us for this egg-cellent event, because the egg not only nourishes the body but also the soul
