SUMMARY:CTRL+Delete
DESCRIPTION:Ctrl+Delete explores the persistent threat of censorship in the United States\, from historical book bans used to control knowledge and suppress marginalized voices to today’s escalating restrictions—including the removal of books and art from public spaces as well as the June Supreme Court decision (Mahmoud v. Taylor) requiring schools to provide opportunities to opt out of listening learning about books that include LGBTQ+ characters. By tracing these acts of erasure across time\, the show reveals how censorship has shaped\, and continues to shape\, what stories are told and who gets to tell them. \nAlongside overt bans and challenges\, the exhibition also addresses the quieter but equally insidious forces of self-censorship within art and educational institutions\, where fear of controversy\, loss of funding\, or political pressure can limit which narratives are made visible. Central to the exhibition is the Ultra Violet Archive\, an interactive library which resists silencing by preserving cultural memory and amplifying suppressed voices. Projects like the Minecraft Uncensored Library—a digital platform where banned texts are freely accessible—demonstrate how artists\, activists\, and technologists are developing inventive strategies to fight suppression. \nAs part of the exhibition\, we will hold a community reading of Frederick Douglass’s work during National Banned Books Week in October. The exhibition also features a dedicated space where visitors can share their own experiences with censorship creating an archive that underscores the ongoing relevance of these struggles. Opportunities to engage will create a space for shared reflection\, underscoring the enduring power of words to inspire freedom\, dialogue\, and change. \nGallery Hours: Tuesday\, Wednesday\, Friday\, Saturday 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.\, Thursdays 1:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m.\nPlease note: the galleries will be closed November 26–December 1 for November break. \nBeard and Weil Galleries
