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

SUMMARY:Screening of "Secret Mall Apartment" with artist Michael Townsend
DESCRIPTION:Jeremy Workman’s 2025 documentary “Secret Mall Apartment” tells the story of eight Rhode Island artists who created a secret apartment inside the Providence Place Mall\, living undetected for four years. Far more than a prank\, the secret apartment became a deeply meaningful place for all involved—both a creative protest against gentrification and a compelling examination of what (and where) we call “home.” Join us for a post-screening discussion with artist Michael Townsend\, the documentary’s primary subject.

SUMMARY:Author and Illustrator Mike Curato
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a presentation by Mike Curato\, author of the graphic novel Flamer which received several honors including the 2020 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ Young Adult\, the 2021 Massachusetts Book Award for Young Adult\, and was listed as one of NPR’s Best Books of 2020.

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

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Arc of Oblivion
DESCRIPTION:followed by a Q&A with director Ian Cheney & animator of the film\, Professor of the Practice Melissa McClung\n\nIn a universe that erases its tracks\, why are we so hellbent on leaving a trace?\n\nFrom executive producer Werner Herzog (Cave of Forgotten Dreams; Grizzly Man) and director Ian Cheney (King Corn)\, The Arc of Oblivion is an unexpectedly playful search for an answer to a deeply existential question. Set against the backdrop of the filmmaker’s quixotic quest to build an ark in a field in Maine\, the film heads far afield—to salt mines in the Alps\, fjords in the Arctic\, and ancient libraries in the Sahara—to illuminate the strange world of archives\, record-keeping\, and memory.\n\nDirector Ian Cheney and animator\, Wheaton Professor of the Practice Melissa McClung\, will join us for a Q&A after a screening of this fun and thought-provoking film.
