On February 12, CHAT And University Ecologies hosted a celebration of the new exhibit on display in the Aidekman Arts Center, "Reframing Campus Ecologies."
Visual and material cultures of the Tufts Medford campus help illustrate the role lawns played in the construction of the university’s institutional identities. This exhibition reflects on the lawn within the broader context of campus environments, highlighting both its historical significance and the challenges it poses for human and non-human communities. Through the display of past disruptions and artistic interventions, the show prompts the reimagination of university ecologies.
The event featured remarks by co-curators Silvia Bottinelli and Emily Gephart. Visitors had a chance to view the exhibit, and enjoy refreshments and learn a little about Tufts' evolving history with its own ecology.
