We may think of archives as passive repositories but the projects in this exhibition explore how archives can rewrite history, activating counter-narratives. The projects range from artist books from the Women’s Studio Workshop; materials documenting Wheaton’s history from the Gebbie Archives and Special Collections; Tirazain, a digital archive of Palestinian tatreez embroidery designs; the Rhode Island-based Binch Press/Queer.Archive.Work‘s Community Supported Art (CSA) project, and the nonprofit Internet Archive. These varied examples show how archives celebrate non-dominant and non-linear stories and show us that history is not static.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m., Thursdays 1:00 p.m.—8:00 p.m.  Please note: the galleries will be closed March 9—17 for spring break.

Shelter is vital.  It’s required for us to survive but also to thrive.  Curated by students enrolled in ARTH 335: Exhibition Design, Shelter interrogates the spaces in which we live, play, work, and worship, the objects found in such spaces, and the concept of “shelter”, broadly defined.
