Pride & Passion: Sabor
2023-05-13 20:00 - 23:59 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
¡Prepárate para un nuevo sabor! Prepare yourself for a new flavor! Pride & Passion returns in 2023 for its 17th year, setting the stage for a celebration of LGBTQ+ and Latin American culture at the Tampa Museum of Art.
Pride & Passion: Sabor highlights the sights, sounds and tastes of Tampeño culture. Join us for a lively evening of salsa, merengue, cumbia and bachata, plus surprise performances, mouth-watering treats from local Latin American restaurants, and a premium open bar.
Pride & Passion, Downtown Tampa’s favorite pride event, celebrates Tampa Bay’s diversity and the contributions of the LGBTQ+ community to arts and culture. The event, which was founded and designed by a committee of LGBTQ+ community members and its allies, raises funds to support the Tampa Museum of Art, allowing it to supplement diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. These funds help the Museum offer programs that allow access to art education to all, create safe places for people to experience the arts, and celebrate local talent.
Pride & Passion: Sabor co-chairs Walter Pinillos and Cee van Os.
Tickets:
Night of Event | $150
All tickets include open bar*, hor d’oeuvres, and desserts

About Pride & Passion
The LGBTQ+ community plays a significant role in the artistic and cultural fabric of Tampa Bay and around the world. The Tampa Museum of Art holds Pride & Passion each year in collaboration with the LGBTQ+ community and its allies to be vocal in celebrating diversity, equity and inclusion. When Pride & Passion started in 2006, TMA was one of the only organizations in the Tampa Bay area that was not an exclusively dedicated LGBTQ+ entity to hold such a community awareness program. We believe that the values that Pride & Passion represents are important now more than ever in preserving past victories and making new strides toward equity and equality.

Antiquities Circle Lecture: The Black & White of Identity in the Ancient World
2023-04-16 15:00 - 16:00 | Tampa Museum of Art, 120 W Gasparilla Plaza, Tampa, FL, 33602, United States
Join us for an Antiquities Circle lecture related to the exhibition, Identity in the Ancient World, presented by Dr. Jackie Murray.
Few scholars would deny the influence of Asia and Africa on Classical Greek and Roman artistic representations of the human form. Think particularly of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. Still, a Western Eurocentric understanding of other cultures has long informed the disciplines of not only Classics, but also Anthropology, Ethnography, and Art History. Cultural biases have often shaped how ancient works of art have been interpreted. This applies especially to the representation of ethnic identities, such as of ancient Greeks, Romans, Persians, and Africans. And these biases continue to distort public and academic discourse today. Therefore, the framework for interpreting ancient identities using Classical Greek and Roman art arguably needs to be reconsidered.
Dr. Jackie Murray is Associate Professor of Classics and African American and Africana Studies in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Kentucky. Her areas of research are Hellenistic and Latin Poetry, Race and Ethnicity in Antiquity, and Black Classicisms, especially the reception of Classics in African American and Afro-Caribbean literature. Dr. Murray has published several important articles on various aspects of Hellenistic and Latin Poetry and Race and the Classics, most recently “Race and Sexuality: Racecraft in the Odyssey” in the first volume of the Bloomsbury Cultural History of Race series edited by Denise McCoskey. She is currently finishing her long-awaited monograph on Apollonius’ Argonautica and is working on several collaborative projects related to race and racism in Antiquity and Classics.
