The exhibition "VOCES Oral History Center at 25," on view now through April 7, 2025 in the second floor gallery, celebrates the work of VOCES and highlights the Benson's archival holdings from the VOCES Center.

This exhibition explores the creative potential of zines: their ability to depict humanity in ways that generatively stretch the imagination, using what we've called the "more than human" to recapture agency over marginalized bodies. It is now on view in the Reading Room of the Fine Arts Library through May 10, 2025.

Cats and dogs inspire artists, scientists, and everyday folks. This selection of books covers the many ways we humans study, interact, cherish, and love domesticated animals. You'll find memoirs about beloved pets helping their humans recover from addiction, graphic novels about zany pet shenanigans, and even a feline detective solving murders! We hope you'll learn something new about our furry friends and appreciate them in deeper and more meaningful ways! Also, check out our selection of blind book dates - maybe you’ll find your next favorite read!
