Welcome back Gamecocks!! With the start of the new semester in full swing, we hope you will take a few moments to slow down and visit “In The Practice Of Seeing: National Juried Photography Exhibition”. This exhibition showcases over 20 different photography pieces from around the country, all with different styles, atmospheres, and expressions. We would like to thank Jim Rieman for being this year’s juror.

This show will be on display in Manners Gallery until September 24th, so be sure to stop by before it disappears!

Join us Monday, September 14th for an event with our Kaleidoscope guest lecturer & Art Historian Dr. Zoe Weldon-Yochim. We will be in Merrill Hall's Howell Auditorium, 5:30-7pm.

This lecture is part of the Kaleidoscope Series of events celebrating the College of Arts, Humanities, and Sciences. As always, these events are free and open to the public!

More about the lecture:
"Contemporary artist Jack Malotte (Western Shoshone/Washoe, b. 1953) has long confronted the environmental and political consequences of nuclear weapons testing on Western Shoshone lands. Focusing on Malotte’s works on paper from the 1980s, this talk explores how the artist brought together images of plants, animals, and desert landscapes with fighter jets, mushroom clouds, and fences. Particular attention is given to The End (1983), a vivid drawing that challenges portrayals of the Nevada desert as barren or empty while making visible the lasting effects of nuclear testing and military occupation. The talk also situates Malotte’s art alongside the anti-nuclear activism in Nevada in which he participated."
