Research—in 3-D!
The students in Dr. Annette Debo’s English 602 class, African American Literature, have brilliantly presented their research in the form of an exhibit, and more specifically posters, organic dioramas, photographs, drumsticks, spectacles, quotations, and quilts! From now until April 30, Hunter Library has these on display. Each exhibit illustrates the graduate students’ interpretive frameworks of the following authors: Amiri Baraka, Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, Sonia Sanchez, Nathasha Trethewey, Frank X. Walker, and Richard Wright.
Visit the exhibit on the library’s main floor, in the hallway to the Writing Center, Faculty Center, and Java City café. Don’t missthe personal statements, where the students explain their connection to one of the authors.
This exhibit was created in conjunction with Dr. Annette Debo’s Hunter Scholar Project, Furious Flowers All: Violence and African American Women's Poetry. Check out the blog

Reception for Student Photographers to Be Held Wednesday, May 5
A reception will be held Wednesday, May 5, for three WCU students whose photographs are currently on exhibit at the library. The students--Sarah Ruth Bonner, Jay Strong and Maegan Zigarevich--have a total of seventeen photographs on display for the portfolio show. The reception will be from 3:00-5:00 p.m. in the media center on the library’s main floor and is open to the public.
Bonner, who is from Asheville, is a senior B.F.A. major whose focus is graphic arts, photography, and sculpture. She is the recipient of an academic project grant from the Honors College and the winner of the 2010 Jonathan Williams Memorial Photography Award. Her exhibit, titled “The Inhabited Space,” features various interiors that reflect the lives of current or past inhabitants. “I am attracted to the silent story that is emitted from these sites,” she says.
A native of Greensboro, Strong is a senior studying professional writing and photography. His exhibit, “Urban Landscapes,” makes use of nighttime photography to depict the inclination of human beings to erect bright lights in natural settings.
“Rust” is the title of Zigarevich’s portfolio show. “These photographs are meant to show how rich and vibrant rust and other reclaimed materials can be,” she says. Rust shows how time and oxygen work together, revealing how eventually the environment will reclaim the objects that society has created.”
The students’ work will be on exhibit through June.

“Arcadian Monuments” on Exhibit
A series of 25 photographs of rustic buildings and old homesteads forgotten by time along the Appalachian landscape is currently on exhibit at Hunter Library.
“Arcadian Monuments” is the work of documentary photographer Anna Fariello. Over the past 20 years, Fariello has driven hundreds of miles along rural roads and byways in southern Virginia, eastern Tennessee, and western North Carolina to find the solitary structures. She often visits the sites first, returning later with her cameras and softly colored filters to preserve through photography what she describes as “vanishing cultural artifacts.”
Many of the photographs in the series were originally part of a touring exhibition of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
Fariello, research associate professor and director of the Craft Revival Project at WCU [http: craftrevival.wcu.edu], is a former research fellow with the Smithsonian American Art Museum and a former field researcher for the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage. The author of several books, she taught at Radford University and Virginia Tech before coming to WCU in 2005.
The exhibit runs through December 31. Take the library’s main floor elevator to the second floor. Open to the public 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Monday-Friday.
