Art, Architecture and Authoritarianism: How Antiquity is Recast to Serve Power
March 19th – AIA’s March lecture with art historian Diana K. McDonald, PhD, will discuss how ancient forms of temples, palaces, and sculpture in the Ancient Near East, Greece and Rome, and elsewhere, were reused and reconfigured in modern architecture and art in the 20th and 21st century.
Information Operations and Strategic Communications on the Global Stage
Feb 26th – The Albuquerque International Association continues its ongoing lecture series with a timely discussion by Douglas Turner, a leading practitioner in strategic communications and information operations, on how states, alliances, and non-state actors compete in the cognitive domain. As geopolitical competition increasingly shifts from physical battlefields to the information environment, influence over perception, narrative, and decision-making has become a central feature of modern conflict.
