On Monday, September 30, Assistant Professor Yvonne K. Widenor joined a panel discussion at WNED/PBS Buffalo Toronto Public Media to share reactions and comments about the latest documentary by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and Clarence, NY native David McMahon entitled “Leonardo da Vinci.”
Moderated by Keiah Shauku, the Director of Community Engagement at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Professor Widenor, David McMahon, Dr. Ryan St. Pierre, an Engineering Professor at University of Buffalo, and Simone Ragland, the Project Director for Science + Technology Enrichment Program contributed to a lively chat that offered the audience of over 160 attendees insight into the documentary that will premier on WNED/PBS on November 18 and 19. The documentary was inspired by the extraordinary biography of da Vinci by Walter Isaacson published in 2017 and includes a multitude of da Vinci enthusiasts including art historians, historians, Isaacson and other biographers, a heart surgeon, and filmmaker Guillermo del Toro.
