SUMMARY:Language Tour Series | Russian-Speaking Tour with Natalie Velez featuring Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist 
DESCRIPTION:Русский: Приглашаем вас в Музей Изобразительных Искусств (MFA) на новую серию экскурсий на иностранных языках! Каждое третье воскресенье месяца в 14:00 экскурсовод музея проводит обзорную экскурсию на языке\, отличном от английского. Эти экскурсии — прекрасная возможность: ближе познакомиться с коллекцией музея\, встретить единомышленников\, улучшить знание изучаемого вами языка. \nАли Банисадр: Алхимик. Ритм сновидений\, фрагментов памяти и древних историй. \nВ этой лекции Наталия Велес расскажет о творчестве современного художника Али Банисадра. Через визуальное повествование\, картины Банисадра предлагают способ связать древние и современные сюжеты\, от Эпоса о Гильгамеше до романа Джорджа Оруэлла 1984. \nИскусство Банисадра часто напоминает миры сновидений. Его полотна наполнены древними символами\, размытыми фигурами\, где соприкасаются мифология и история.  И в тоже время\, в этой полифонии всегда сохраняется равновесие. \nВместо того чтобы иллюстрировать одну историю\, картины приглашают зрителей в ризоматический мир\, где переплетаются любовь\, конфликты и надежды на будущее. Посетители узнают\, как мифы\, символы\, ритуалы и сны возникающие на полотнах Банисадра\, создают ощущение движения и трансформации. \nУчастие в экскурсии включено в стоимость входного билета\, но предварительная регистрация обязательна\, так как количество мест ограничено. \nЗаинтересованы в экскурсии\, но не можете прийти в эту дату? Музей изобразительных искусств (MFA) также предлагает экскурсии на русском\, испанском\, португальском и немецком языках по запросу. По всем вопросам и для записи пишите нам на: tours@mfastpete.org. \nEnglish: Join us every third Sunday at 2 pm for the MFA’s Language Tour Series! Each month\, an MFA Docent will guide a tour in a language other than English\, offering visitors a fresh and immersive way to explore the museum’s collection. Whether you’re fluent\, practicing your language skills\, or just beginning your journey\, these tours offer a welcoming space to connect through art and culture. \nAli Banisadr: The Alchemist. Worlds of Motion\, Fragments\, and Ancient Stories. \nIn this gallery lecture\, PhD candidate Natalie Velez will discuss the work of contemporary artist Ali Banisadr. Through visual storytelling\, Banisadr’s paintings offer a way to connect ancient and contemporary narratives\, from the Epic of Gilgamesh to George Orwell’s 1984\, as well as Jungian archetypes. \nBanisadr’s art often feels like dream worlds. His canvases are crowded with symbols\, emerging figures\, and mythical and historical narratives\, yet there is always a balance in this polyphony. Instead of illustrating one linear\, clear story\, the paintings invite viewers into a rhizomatic world where love\, conflict\, and hopes for the future intertwine. Visitors will explore how myths\, symbols\, rituals\, and dreams emerge on Banisadr’s canvases\, creating a dynamic world of transformation. \nDocent-led Language Tours are free with museum admission\, but advance registration is recommended so our docents can plan for group size. Space is limited—reserve your spot today! \nInterested in a tour but can’t attend on this date? The MFA also offers docent-led tours in Russian\, Spanish\, Portuguese\, and German by request. Email us at tours@mfastpete.org to learn more. \nSun\, June 21\, 2 PM – 3 PM\nFREE for MFA Members\nIncluded with the cost of admission for Not-Yet Members\nRegistration required \nREGISTER \nNot yet a member?\nBecome a member today and enjoy all the benefits membership at the MFA offers!\nEnjoy free admission\, special access\, discounts at the MFA Shop and Café Clementine\, and more. Bring the whole family! \nBECOME A MEMBER \n \nImage: \nAli Banisadr (b. 1976)\, The Waste Land (detail)\, 2006\, oil on panel\, 9 x 12 in. Collection of the Artist.
