The UNBoxing exhibit in further detail:

Special Collections and Archives presents [UN] Boxing Archives

The Berea College Special Collections and Archive are a body of materials preserving the institutional & cultural history of not only the college, but the Southern Appalachian region. From music, folk tales, financial ledgers, this vast archive preserves our collective memories of history. Yet it is the archivist through a practice of weeding, describing, connecting stakeholders to informational values that shape our remembrance of tomorrow’s history.

This is the first installment of a series of planned workshops and exhibitions by our Artist Archivist Peter Morphew. Since arriving Summer 2021 as the College’s Processing Archivist, Peter has started a body of work exploring the archive environment & our holdings. Through collage, drawings, and paintings, Peter has documented his encounters with retained heritage knowledge. Peter is joined in this exhibit by Tristan Rogers, an artist who has created content based upon the archive holdings accessible via our online catalogues.

 

 

A series of drawings is available to view on the Hutchins Library main floor, and the exhibition continues downstairs on the first floor within the Special Collections & Archive department. You can arrange an artist talk or indeed the artist Peter Morphew via appointment [email: morphewp@berea.edu].

The exhibit opens Tuesday April 5th and runs until the end of the month.
