Join us for a multi-disciplined conversation with students and their professors! This is a professor-led conversation amongst ART 300 Advanced Studio Concepts and POL/PEL 299 & PSY 399 Political Psychology students. The conversation will discuss the students responses to our Spring Rare Book Salon topic: The Last Whole Earth Catalog (1971)

Salve Regina Studio Art majors spent a semester researching and developing work in response to The Whole Earth Catalog, an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998. The magazine featured essays and articles, but was primarily focused on product reviews. The editorial focus was on self-sufficiency, ecology, alternative education, “do it yourself,” and holism, featuring the slogan “access to tools.” (wholeearth.info) The Last Whole Earth Catalog (1971) is a rare book held in McKillop Library's Special Collections. At this opening of the exhibition of their work, hear students discuss their artworks and view their finished pieces! The exhibition is titled: The Agency of Art: Mercy & Politics.
