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: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.

SUMMARY:Urinetown...The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Book & Lyrics by Greg Kotis\, Music & Lyrics by Mark Hollman. \nWinner of three Tony Awards and two Obie Awards\, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system\, capitalism\, social irresponsibility\, populism\, environmental collapse\, privatization of natural resources\, bureaucracy\, municipal politics\, and musical theatre itself! In a Gotham-like city\, a terrible water shortage\, caused by a 20-year drought has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.The citizens must use public amenities\, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people\, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest\, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms. \nTickets may be purchased online through the Box Office once they become availalbe.

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
