Proof of Life Multimedia Exhibit
- Sponsored by:
- Writing and Rhetoric Program and Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies
This exhibit features the fieldwork and reflections of students in the winter term course: Acting Your Age: Meanings of Adulthood. Through images, sound and text, students will share personal reflections and highlights from readings. They will reveal traces of “adulting” norms found in college archives, and tell stories of growing, ageing and being alive shared by youth and elders in Addison County. They will explore how notions of childhood, adulthood and ageing are shaped by economic, political and social structures, and envision new possibilities for becoming “adult.”

Stalin Boys: Screening and Q&A with Director Bianca Giaever
- Sponsored by:

Four middle school boys in a Texas border town have developed an unusual obsession: Joseph Stalin. When their teacher tells them about the Texas State History Fair, they write a play about the Soviet dictator - and his efforts to destroy all who opposed him. As the boys write and rehearse their play about Stalin, they are forced to confront their own relationship with power and control.
