University Gallery presents a trio of exhibitions by MUSE faculty and students to draw attention to ideas, individuals, and cultural and artistic forms that are worthy of further examination. They merit surfacing.
An opening event is set for 4:30 – 6:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 18.
Transgressive: From the Guerrilla Girls to Pussy Riot
Curated by RIT Museum Studies Program Director Juilee Decker presents cartoons, posters, and prints from both of these feminist, activist collectives.
Jerrold Smith: The Student, The Craftsman, The Drifter
Gabriella Smith (class of 2025) recovers the life and work of jeweler and designer Jerrold B. Smith (1941-1986) who attended, and subsequently taught at, RIT’s School for American Crafts before launching his design career with Ray-Ban.
Ruffles and Rebellion: An Unveiling of Lolita Fashion
Carolyn Lee (class of 2025) examines a complex, misunderstood, and (on occasion) extravagant fashion involving Victorian-silhouetted dresses, playful pastel prints, and a lifestyle that ultimately intersects with feminism.
