Bethpage Federal Credit Union’s Global Explorations at the HUM: ‘Metamorphosis: Initiation rites of Papua New Guinea and West Africa’
This popular program continues with explorations of the
world’s diverse cultures through the study and discussion of authentic objects
and works of art thematically selected from the HUM collections. Kristy Caratzola, the Museum’s collections
manager (who is also an adjunct professor of art history) leads each hour-long
session where participants explore a different facet of selected cultures each
month. Participants are enriched by the
in-depth presentations, and enjoy the discussions that develop from personal
observations about the cultures and objects presented. June’s
