Join artist, philosopher, and Visiting professor Treasure Brooks (creatively known as Sol Street) for an experimental workshop exploring the waning legacy of friendliness.

Through performance, lecture, and immersive interaction, the session draws on feminist scholarship, Buddhist philosophy, and archival correspondence to reframe today’s crises as opportunities for both self-accountability and collectivism.

Proof of Life Multimedia Exhibit and Reception

Sponsored by:
Writing and Rhetoric Program and Gender, Sexuality, & Fem Studies

This reception, which warmly welcomes the public, celebrates the fieldwork and reflections of students in the winter term course: Acting Your Age: Meanings of Adulthood. Through images, objects and text in the exhibit, students share personal, scholarly, and creative reflections about notions of adulting and adulthood. They reveal traces of gendered norms for adulting from the college archives, and tell stories of childhood, ageing and being alive drawn from their fieldwork with children and elders in Addison County.
