A collection can be defined as a group of objects; objects that often are viewed as symbols and representations of the people who gather them by those around them. Typically, these are organized in some way through an innumerable series of categories dependent on the collector, but what objects are left behind accidentally, mistakenly, or without that individual’s control or knowledge? By exploring and tracing these possessions, their impressions, and their associated data, we are better able to understand that individual, their experience, and their foot print.For this exhibition, we will take an investigative viewpoint from the perspective of an artist, a scientific scholar, a visual resource curator, and a collection specialist. By combining these uniquely creative perspectives and their interpretive techniques, we present a variety of opportunities for the viewer to approach this experience and to expand their own point of view. On display are a variety of artforms, including both historical and contemporary prints, a series of forensic scientific specimens, the tools used in their creation, and examples of their approaches and processes.Please visit the exhibition throughout the fall semester, Monday, September 30 – Friday, November 22, 2024.

It was adapted for the stage by Beth Murray and Irania Macias Patterson.Mamá Goose is a children’s play loosely adapted from Mamá Goose: a Latino Nursery Treasury/Un Tesoro de rimas infantiles.

Let’s sing and play!” After a series of escapades revolving around the discovery of an extraordinary egg, each child wrestles with the desire to keep the egg for themselves.

Es nuestro.”This workshop production is lead by Libby Hawkins and Alejandro Saucedo, with costume design by Tori Gonzales, props by Justin Miller, ASL coaching by Laurel Whitsett, and choreography by Claudia Pacheco Oracasitos.
