The "Time as Material" Dedman College Interdisciplinary Institute Research Cluster's end-of-year event combines two experiences: a guided tour of SMU's Archaeology Research Collections with Drs. Matthew Boulanger and Kelton Sheridan, and a live aluminum pour at the Owen Arts Center Foundry with visual arts faculty Emily Budd, Kerry Maguire, Dana Buzzee and Martha Poggioli. 
 
The ARC houses over 60 years of archaeological collections from SMU research programs — artifacts and materials that document human activity across centuries. At the foundry, artists and faculty will guide participants through the full casting process, from preparing molds to pouring molten metal into forms made from objects you bring. Both halves of the day center on the same question: what do materials hold, and what happens when you work with them directly. 
 
All participants must register in advance due to space and safety limitations. Capacity is limited. Any SMU community member with or without experience is welcome. Registration is on SMU360.
