SUMMARY:Olfactory Provocations: To exist in a space is to inhale it (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/olfactory-provocations-to-exist-in-a-space-is-to-inhale-it-online-tickets-1995562115005?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nJoin Yati Sharma in exploring how Mumbai taxi drivers navigate smell and shared air in the micro-lived-environment of a taxi cabin. \n\n\n\n\n“बाँस\, त्रास और साँस ”: Smell\, Endurance\, and Breath in Mumbai Taxi Cabs. \nThis session reflects on how smell operates differently from other senses. While interviewing taxi cab drivers in Mumbai to understand how smells interact within micro-environments\, one idea kept returning: to exist in a space is to inhale it. In a taxi\, before any conversation begins between driver and passenger\, there is already a sensory encounter through shared air. Unlike sight\, touch\, taste\, or sound\, smell is difficult to avoid once we are exposed to it. One can close their eyes\, cover their ears\, or avoid touching something\, but smell is tied directly to breathing. To exist in a space is to inhale the shared air. \nInside a taxi cabin\, this shared air carries a constant layering of smells. Drivers described how perfumes\, sweat\, food\, incense\, rain-soaked clothes\, tobacco\, city pollution\, and car fresheners accumulate and overlap over the course of a day. Each passenger leaves behind a trace\, which blends with the next\, creating a shifting olfactory environment that the driver must continuously inhabit. And how these smells are often signifiers of cultural and socio economic identity of a person. \nImage Credits: Yati Sharma

SUMMARY:Alchemies of Scent: Text\, Experiment\, Replication (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/alchemies-of-scent-text-experiment-replication-online-tickets-1992154458613?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nPrague-based Sean Coughlin presents research during a five-year attempt to reconstruct five ancient Greco-Egyptian perfumes from Greek\, Latin and Egyptian recipes\, combining textual scholarship\, experimental methods\, and analytical chemistry. For this session\, Coughlin will review and explain what his team set out to do\, the methods they built (and threw out)\, and what they learned about how ancient perfumes were made. Expect myrrh\, cinnamon\, galbanum\, lily\, smoke—and a few honest failures. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees. \nOlfactory Research Notes is a lecture series presented by the Institute for Art and Olfaction that highlights important research done in the field of olfaction\, directly from the scientists\, researchers\, academics\, and artists who do it. \n– \nImage credits: Wikimedia Commons \n

SUMMARY:The Margins of Good Taste: Perfume and its Producers in Ancient Greece (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-margins-of-good-taste-perfume-and-its-producers-in-ancient-greece-tickets-1992158985152?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nSean Coughlin presents research into attitudes and positions towards perfumery in the Ancient Greek world. Ancient perfumery in the Greek world wasn’t a Greek practice\, or at least according to many in power it was not supposed to be. It was something done by women\, enslaved workers\, foreigners\, and migrants — people the literary record either erases or moralizes about. This talk reads the sources for the practitioners rather than the moralists\, and asks what we learn about a craft economy whose expertise sat with people the elite considered suspect. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees. \nOlfactory Research Notes is a lecture series presented by the Institute for Art and Olfaction that highlights important research done in the field of olfaction\, directly from the scientists\, researchers\, academics\, and artists who do it. \n– \nImage credits: George E.
