The Rare Book Collection is proud to celebrate the launch of online exhibition Ancient and Living Maya in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries: Archaeological Discovery, Literary Voice, and Political Struggle. 

An exhibition of the same name took place in Wilson Library in 2012 during the “13 Bak’tun” symposium at UNC. This online version, enhanced by several new acquisitions and additional images, tells the story of the Maya struggle for autonomy and self-expression alongside that of European peoples’ decipherment of Mayan hieroglyphic writing.

It Takes a Campus - 2011.

Do Ho Suh’s Fallen Star is the 18th permanent sculpture commissioned by UCSD’s Stuart Collection. It reflects Suh’s on-going exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space. His own feelings of displacement when he arrived in the U.S. from Seoul, Korea in 1991 to study led him to measure spaces in order to establish relationships with his new surroundings. He had to physically and mentally readjust.

Hidden San Diego - UCSD Bear Sculpture

Hidden San Diego – UCSD Bear Sculpture

It’s hard to imagine that something 24 feet high and weighing 180 tons could qualify as “hidden” in San Diego, but this one does. In fact, the “Bear” sculpture by Tim Hawkinson is known to UCSD students, faculty and staff who frequent the Academic Courtyard between the engineering and telecommunications buildings on campus. But it’s doubtful many others in San Diego have any awareness of this…
