Then & Now: The Viewbook

In the 1930s, Haverford's admission viewbook was little more than a bound set of postcards illustrating the college experience. By the 1970s (as shown in the viewbook pictured left) hundreds of words did the talking.

The energetic design of the current viewbook (right) spotlights student agency, and unpacks today’s Haverford by portraying the lives and work of four specific students.

The viewbook also contains contributed (and attributed) observations—whether through words or, in a nod to our image-rich culture, through student-generated photos of campus life.

Exhibit

Futureproof

Artist’s Talk & Opening Reception

Friday, October 27, 2017
Talk: 4:30 p.m., Reception: 5:30–7:30 p.m.
Cantor Fitzgerald Gallery

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.
