"Patriarchosis," a new exhibit at the CU Art Museum
Ann Roy is the subject of a new student-curated exhibition which opened April 19 at the CU Art Museum (CUAM). The exhibit features materials from the Ann Roy papers, a collection in the University Libraries Rare and Distinctive Collections (RaD) of writings, art, fashion, sound recordings and Super-8 films spanning 70 years of work by the Tulsa-born poet, mystic and political activist Ann Roy.
The CU Art Museum exhibit, “Patriarchosis," also contains photography and art from CUAM collections by Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Linda Conner, Judy Dater and Mary Ellen Mark. The exhibition was curated by students of CINE 4010 class with their professor, Emilie Upczak. Additionally, a digital exhibit, "The Ann Roy Collection," was curated by Upczak and designed by Melanie Archer.
“The Ann Roy papers offer students, researchers and artists perspectives on history that are important for us to move forward in an aware and sustainable way,” said Upczak, assistant teaching professor in the Department of Cinema Studies and Moving Image Arts. “The archive is unique and vast, and while we have begun to digitize it, there is so much more in the collection to uncover.”
