Art Historian Asked to Join Katmandu Project

Australian artist Andrew Rogers, who is creating a geoglyph in Nepal, has asked UALR Professor Laura Amrhein to serve as art historian on the project. Amrhein, who teaches art history in UALR’s College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences, leaves for Katmandu March 29 and will return April 6. A geoglyph is a drawing or design produced on the ground – either by arranging or removing large stones, gravel, or earth. Last year, Amrhein was selected to participate in the UALR faculty exchange program with University of Graz in Austria. She is also a Fulbright-Hays scholar who traveled to Brazil last summer for research
