Download Enhanced Audio Podcast Angela Cazel Jahn’s piece, “Our Little House of Once Was Knowledge” is featured in the lobby of Hayden Library on the ASU Tempe campus. Her exhibit is a small house structure containing boxes full of bits of what people think are knowledge resting on a foundation of books and other technological artifacts. The exhibit is an interactive experience where visitors add their own concepts of knowledge. “Knowledge is not just what your brain knows.” – Angela Cazel Jahn. Stephen Marc’s pieces are located in the Institute for Humanities Research on the ASU Tempe campus. The four pieces are digital montages (photographs and documents) of Black Americana up to 1935. Marc describes his work as “an interpretative relocation of, and commentary on the limited representations and accounts of the black experience, into the early years of the 20th Century, that were usually defined from outside the community.” The works include photographs, old newspapers, illustrations, civil war envelopes, postcards, tradecards and narrative plays. Other Artists include: Ron Broglio, Chris Hables Gray, Nicole Herden, Dodd Holsapple, Mary Hood, Mary Lyverse, Laurie Papa Minnick, Benjamin Phillips, Gwyneth Scally, and Kelsey Vance.
