Library Exhibits
  Re-Imagining Cuba Photo Exhibit April 2008 - June 15 2008

CWIL Fellow Shannon Rose Riley spoke about her photo exhibit, "Re-Imagining Cuba" at the Library on Friday, April 4.
Cuba by Beth Yarbrough
Cuba is not just a land of 1950s US cars, Santeria, Cuban cigars, and mojitos. Nor is it entirely "communist" or underdeveloped in the ways US Americans often imagine. This exhibit aims to challenge the predominant US views of Cuba through a careful juxtaposition of images: what we think we know and what, largely as a result of US foreign policy and travel restrictions, we cannot, or refuse to, see. This exhibit thus invites us to "re-imagine" Cuba in the 21st Century.

This is the final of a trilogy of photo exhibits sponsored by CWIL and developed by Jeremy Vaughan and Shannon Rose Riley with the goal of introducing the SMC community to intercultural differences through the use of photographic images and lectures. . Previous exhibits have featured the photographs of Wolfgang Schmidt and CWIL Fellow Fozia Qazi.


I think, therefore IM:
Got a question about the library, but don't want to leave your cozy dorm room to go to the library and ask?
Add SMCrefdesk to your AIM buddy list and ask us a question any time we're online.
We can help you find books and articles for your research papers, help you format a citation, even answer questions about using Notre Dame's library or getting books and articles through Interlibrary Loan.
