Free

Reception Tuesday, November 4th, 2025

5PM – 7PM, Memorial Union Gallery

 

FREE FOOD, FREE THOUGHT, FREE CONVERSATION

 

The history of art is shaped by an absence left by destruction, neglect, theft, and the passage of time. These disappearances narrow our understanding of the past and the ability to restore very real, profound stories essential to our humanity.  Of the work we now hold in Museums or personal collections, countless others have not survived to the present.  Damnatio Memoriae refers to the erasure of a person from cultural memory through the destruction of public documents and displays. This exhibition examines the power of absence in affecting historical material, visual culture and our understanding of the world.

This exhibition was co-curated by Joseph Stern (BS Public History Candidate).
