Frat parties mocking Black History Month, homophobic slurs, anti-Mexican graffiti on campus, and sexual harassment...these reoccurring events affect ALL students, underrepresented or not, and demonstrate the need for a conversation about student experiences related to the campus climate at UC San Diego. Join the conversation and submit your creative work!
The UC San Diego Library is creating a "living archive" as an alternative way to highlight awareness, provide a space for dialogue, and preserve and document events related to UC San Diego history. A living archive is a collection of materials presented in a way that allows for the expression, exhibition, documentation, and preservation of a sentiment or movement in a particular community. This type of "archiving" is "living" because it is constantly updated with the current climate and consists of all manner of expression from documents of the past, to creative expression through art, to real-time feedback of the current period.
We want YOU to be a part of the Living Archive. What do you have to say or express about the current climate at UCSD?
The physical exhibit will run from February 1 - March 31, 2016 in Geisel Library, with a permanent online collection of submissions. Deadline for submissions is November 30th and you must be enrolled as a current UCSD student. Paintings, drawings, collages, prints, sculptures, photographs, performance art, written work, video or film are welcome!
