"You are here: Exploring the contours of our academic community through
maps"
Exhibition dates:
October 17, 2011 to February 10, 2012
Opening Reception:
October 24, 2011, 5:00 pm-7:00 pm
Maps may represent the geography of land and sea. Or they may act as a model
of concepts, philosophies or ideas. One map helps us travel from one place
to the next. Another allows us to represent and understand something
entirely new. Some maps evoke nostalgia, while others allow us to plan
ahead. Maps have been the inspiration of personal creativity, and they have
been the product of that creativity. Often a map says as much about the
mapmaker as anything else. The maps in this exhibition—selected and
interpreted by members of the Haverford community—reflect something of those
who chose them. And together they constitute a certain geography of our
community, bringing into relief relationships between our scholarly
pursuits, our personal interests, and even our creative styles.
