The Schroeder Hall Gallery will host the exhibit The Material Culture and Visual Ethnography of the COVID-19 Pandemic for the 2021-2022 school year. This exhibit is a visual documentation and exploration of the effects of the current pandemic on our lived experiences.
What are the material markers of this moment? How does social distancing change our daily interactions? What do social uprisings look like in the midst of a pandemic? How has the isolation and uncertainty of the past year affected our mental and physical health?
Artists and non-artists were invited to submit a creation of original work that answered these questions. Submissions were received from the University, community, and beyond. Dr. Abigail Stone, assistant professor of anthropology, curated the exhibit.
Schroeder Hall Gallery, which is housed in the second-floor lounge of Schroeder Hall, is a collaboration between the Department of Sociology and Anthropology and the Wonsook Kim School of Art. The gallery, which is open year-round, showcases sociologically and anthropologically relevant artwork.
Join us for the gallery opening on September 16 at 4:30 p.m. All are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
