Shain Library
Drawn from a collection of over 200 postcards, this exhibition, curated by students in Professor Christopher Steiner’s advanced seminar on “Bad Art,” celebrates the lackluster aesthetics of the mundane. Taken as a whole, and looked at closely, these “boring” postcards offer an engrossing visual experience that puts into conversation sentiments of post-World War II optimism and an existential commentary on the desolation of modern existence. This exhibition showcases a collection of “Chrome Postcards” from the 1950s-70s. Named after Kodachrome film (which produced glossy surface color prints) these shiny, oversaturated full-color postcards feature popular tourist destinations, advertisements for household goods and appliances, and images of roadside attractions, museums, motels, restaurants, bars, gas stations and highways. - 9:00 AM8hExhibit: Claiming our Place in Education: The Continuous Evolution of Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality StudiesTours, Exhibits & Open Houses | Lobby, Charles E.

Claiming our Place in Education: The Continuous Evolution of Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality Studies an exhibition from the College Archives, celebrates 25 years of the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality Studies and explores the rich history of women’s and gender studies at Connecticut College beginning in the 1970s.

In the 25 years since becoming a department, GSIS has developed a specialized and intellectual home for the study of gender, sexuality, and their intersections with race, nation, disability, and class. This would not be possible without the work of dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni, and speakers, all claiming their places in education. - 9:30 AM1hMix, Mingle, MimosaGeneral Events & Activities - All Welcome | Fanning Green
