Archives As Material Exhibit Reception
Opening: Nov 21 5:00 – 6:30 PM
On View: Nov 11 – Dec 13
Stevenson Library, 3rd Floor
This exhibition showcases the work produced during the first half of the Fall 2024 Archives as Material class, in which students integrated archival material from Bard as well as local libraries and collections in original works of art. These pieces challenge the way we engage with an archive and the diverse materials they house.
Panel Discussion: Developing a Rethinking Place Collection
Please join us on Monday, November 25th from 3-5pm for a celebration and panel discussion titled, Developing a Rethinking Place Collection at Stevenson Library, hosted by the Stevenson Library, the Bard Center for Indigenous Studies, and Rethinking Place: Bard-on-Mahicantuk.
This panel will focus on Rethinking Place’s year three project to acquire books for the Stevenson Library, accessible to all Bard faculty, staff, students, and local community members. These acquisitions focus on core Native American and Indigenous Studies texts (NAIS), centering Indigenous and BIPOC authors and theorists. Significant library acquisitions will also be focused on the third year’s theme of food and memory, engaging history and land, including (re)creation of spaces. Texts focus on land and food as an avenue for social justice (in food sovereignty, rematriation, foodways revitalization), as a living archive (in cookbooks, works of food history, seed relations, writings and theory about naming and classifying our environments), and as kinetic, organic material for creation (in material or land-based projects), and include exploration of both cultivated and and non-cultivated varietals.
Cider and donuts will be provided and we encourage faculty and students to attend. We hope to see you there!
