Branded: Watching an Icon Get Its Name, lecture by Annemarie Weyl Carr (Southern Methodist University), Yale University, February 21, 2018, 5:30–6:30 pm

Annemarie Carr discusses the ways in which the Kykkotissa, a Byzantine holy image still venerated as a miracle worker in its original monastic setting on Cyprus, has ceaselessly recalibrated its appeal as a visual and charismatic medium over its eventful eight-hundred-year life.

Annemarie Weyl Carr, University Distinguished Professor of Art History Emerita at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, has published on Byzantine and post-Byzantine painting; on art and issues of cultural interchange in the eastern Mediterranean Levant, above all on Cyprus; and on women artists in the Middle Ages. A former president of the International Center of Medieval Art, she is now the Vice President of the Board of the Cyprus American Archaeological Research Institute in Nicosia.
