THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2026 | 6–8 PM: Moody Center for the Arts presents exhibiting artist Eamon Ore-Giron in conversation with Rice University art historian Lori Boornazian Diel and University of Oklahoma cultural astronomer Steven Gullberg as part of its Artists-in-Dialogue series.

Inspired by astral charts and pre-Columbian and Andean traditions of sky-watching, Ore-Giron’s geometric abstractions center ancient systems of knowledge. The speakers will explore how art and astronomy record celestial observations and the passage of time.

Ore-Giron has work on view in the exhibition Radiant Geometries: Vectors of Knowledge from the Indigenous Americas and in the Rice Public Art Collection. Lori Boornazian Diel isL.H. Favrot Professor of Humanities in the Department of Art History at Rice University, and Steven Gullberg is Professor of Cultural Astronomy at the University of Oklahoma.
