WHEN ANIMALS WERE GODS: EXPLORING THE EGYPTIAN PANTHEON AT THE BROOKLYN MUSEUM
Pittsfield, 11am - 12pm
Enjoy this engaging lecture from Dr. Yekaterina Barbash, Brooklyn Museum, Languages and Linguistics to introduce the new exhibition at the Berkshire Museum.
From domestic pets to wild beasts, the ancient Egyptians held a deep respect for animals. Having keenly observed the specific qualities of each species in their environment the Egyptians often interpreted their strength, power, speed, and fertility, as evidence of an animal’s link to divinity, possessing qualities of the deity’s character. The complex, multifaceted nature of many animals represented a kind of divine diversity. This talk will explore the ancient Egyptian animal kingdom and its links to the pantheon of Egyptian gods. We will unravel the mysteries of Thoth, Sakhmet, Anubis and other deities and review the precursors to the exotic practice of animal mummification that occurred in the later periods of Egyptian history. The talk will serve as an in-depth introduction to the new exhibition: Soulful Creatures. Animal Mummies in Ancient Egypt.
This event is free with general admission.

RAUL MIDóN AT THE INDIGO ROOM
Great Barrington, 5:30pm & 8:30pm
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón has built a genre-defying career that blends soul, jazz, Latin rhythms, and acoustic virtuosity into a sound entirely his own. Blind since birth, Midón has often been described as a “one-man band”—turning his guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus (The New York Times). His artistry has earned praise from icons such as Quincy Jones (“his music makes you smile”), Elton John (who called State of Mind a “soul classic”), and Bill Withers, who championed his music.
A true eclectic adventurist (People), Midón continues to push boundaries. His latest album, Lost & Found (2024), released on his own ReKondite ReKords label, showcases his evolution as a storyteller and composer while reaffirming the joyful, borderless spirit that defines his music. Whether onstage with only his guitar or accompanied by full orchestra, Raul Midón embodies what The Guardian once called a “totally musical mind at work.” $49
