The Color of Pomegranates is at the National Museum of Asian Art (the Smithsonian is in the process of unpersoning Freer and Sackler) this Saturday. Is anyone else interested in going? Can anyone here convince me to overcome my exhaustion and go?

I wouldn't have expected it, but there are two other public statues of him depicted on his Wikipedia page!
Interesting to learn from that same source that at some point Pasolini was a major inspiration for him, I can see elements of Edipo Re in Sayat Nova for example.

The past -- from medieval to antiquity -- as an insight into what can be said about their present is something that looks to be common to both.
Imagined losses.
