The Exhibition

A photography exhibit using student-engineered images, sounds and textual documents which draw from University Archives materials. The exhibition explores the history of spirit photography through the re-envisioning of history — straining credibility and provoking a rich array of interpretations from viewers.

  • Thursday, April 14 through Friday, June 3, 2011
  • Robert E. Kennedy Library, Learning Commons 2nd floor
  • Exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours
