Talking Dust Bowl Blues: An FIU Student Showcase
Date: Friday, December 15, 2023
Time: 6–8pm
Location: The Wolfsonian–FIU @ 1001 Washington Avenue
In this reception and tour, explore the romanticized history of the Great Plains and the Dust Bowl environmental crisis of the 1930s as we open our newest student-curated installation in the library, Grass, to Wheat, to Sand: The Dust Bowl Disaster. Florida International University history students will share behind-the-scenes insights about their curatorial process and be present to chat about their favorite works in the show, which they developed under the guidance of FIU adjunct professor Dr. Frank Luca, Wolfsonian chief librarian and curator of library collections.
