Calendar

ACT OF REMEMBRANCE--The photo exhibition Remembrance, on view in the Gallery at the Art and Music Library in Rush Rhees Library through March 18, is "a tribute to and journey through two lives," say photographers Marianne Pojman and Sharon Turner. The images tell the story of Paul Joseph Pojman, Pojman's father, who died on August 7, 2001, at the age of 84, and Mary Florence Elizabeth Evans Andrews (above), Turner's grandmother, who died a few weeks later on September 19, 2001, at the age of 101.

"We both felt compelled to memorialize the person who died--to produce some kind of record that they existed, that they mattered," add the artists. "For some people this takes the form of a service or cemetery marker. For us, it's through our photographs."

Events scheduled for Monday, March 3 (after 5 p.m.), through Monday, March 17 (before 5 p.m.)
