About the exhibition:
In Uncanny Times: Looking Back, Looking Forward, artists ponder these uncanny times we are in and consider, though our current times seem unrecognizable, whether there are recognizable patterns from the past. What has remained the same or cycled back? What new paradigms will we forge? These reflections span global history and the past 25 years of the Artnauts’ mission of social change, lessons learned and dreams for the future. learn more

Uncanny Times: Looking Back, Looking Forward will be on view September 25 - November 13.
Seidel City Hours: Tuesday - Thursday by appointment and Friday - Saturday 11-5.

CU Boulder also seeks to understand how the experiences of campus community members differ by gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

The survey results will provide benchmark data in support of the Inclusion, Diversity and Excellence in Academics (IDEA) Plan. Insights from the survey findings will guide the campus’s efforts to build a more just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive campus community.
