Celebrate Lives That Speak

This homepage ran on Friday, October 27, 2017. Content and links may have changed.

Join us on campus October 27-29 for Family & Friends Weekend, Homecoming, the dedication of our Visual Culture, Arts, and Media (VCAM) building, and a special celebration of the successful conclusion of the Lives That Speak campaign.

Walk-ins are welcome for Family & Friends Weekend and we will make every effort to accommodate walk-ins at the Haverford Lives That Speak celebration, but please note we cannot guarantee a seat in the show Lives That Speak: A Tapestry in Sound and Vision.

Artist’s Talk & Opening Reception

Talk: 4:30 p.m., Reception: 5:30–7:30 p.m.

The artists in Futureproof engage with the many malleable interpretations of futureproofing, drawing from both the legacy of military and corporate scenario planning and the use of semi-fictionalized artifacts or archives as "proof," or evidence, of alternate timelines or futures yet to come.

Futureproof runs through December 17, 2017 in the Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery and is supported by the the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities.

The Campus

Our campus has 200 acres of award-winning architecture and landscaping; more than 50 academic, athletic, and residential buildings; and a nationally recognized arboretum with 400 species of trees and shrubs, a 3.5-acre duck pond, gardens, and wooded areas.

The Haverford College Arboretum hosted a planting event in which community members and local volunteers planted over a dozen different native tree species saplings near the Duck Pond’s stream bank. Photo: Sarah Jennings '21.
