Brosseau Center for Learning: Peace and Conflict in the Space Between

Celka Straughn, curator

Gallery 318, The Jack and Lavon Brosseau Center for Learning, Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas

Organized by The Space Between Society to expand interdisciplinary discussion of literature and culture of the 1914-1945 period. Peace and Conflict are foundational to these years, given the repercussions of World War I and anticipation of a second global conflict. While war is the most obvious example of conflict in this era, this exhibition considers non-military conflicts and multi-faceted efforts toward peace.
