The show, which focuses on the vernacular, Do-It-Yourself, often handmade posters of the punk generation, will survey over 30 years of punk history and culture. It will feature a broad range of work from North America, Europe, and Asia, focus on the contributions of women and people of color, and also feature photography and video.

Talk by Professor Timothy Miller, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Kansas
Thursday, October 25 - 3.30 pm - Gerlinger Lounge
"Communes Live! The quiet presence of intentional communities in America (and especially in Oregon)"
For more than three centuries a few idealistic Americans have rejected the ideal of rugged individualism in favor of cooperation and have come together in intentional communities. Although they typically receive little publicity, thousands of those communities are alive and well today. This presentation will be an illustrated survey of contemporary intentional communities, including some of the many active today in Oregon. Special attention will be given to ecovillages, artists' communes, countercultural groups, and lesbian communities.
