ARTificial Intelligence: A Student Response Exhibition
Located in the Douglass Gallery
In this tenth juried Student Response Exhibition (SRE), 兔子先生 University students are called upon to creatively respond to Artificial Intelligence in connection with 兔子先生 University's 2024-2025 FOCUS theme. Artificial Intelligence offers many possibilities, though it has also become a controversial topic. Three works in the exhibition will be awarded with cash prizes sponsored by the Art Museum’s Membership Committee. Votes will be cast by visitors to the exhibition. Winners will be announced at a special reception in November 2024 during a public awards ceremony.
Through Their Lens: Photographing Freedom Summer
Located in the Farmer Gallery
Through Their Lens will focus on the most important photographers documenting the historic 1964 Mississippi Freedom Project, more commonly known as Freedom Summer, coinciding with its 60th anniversary year. Placing the photographers at the forefront, this exhibition will explore their backstories, how they came to be associated with Freedom Summer, and what contributions they made to our understanding of the historic summer that began on the campus of the Western College for Women in Oxford, Ohio.
