SUMMARY:Elena Yu: Weaving Ephemera
DESCRIPTION:UCSB Library presents an art installation by artist Elena Yu\, exploring histories of the Ethnic and Gender Studies Collection (EGSC) and space in celebration of its 30th anniversary. \nIn Fall 2023\, Yu was invited to create artworks in response to the history of the EGSC. The artist was drawn to two untouched back rooms – former staff offices left exactly as they were when vacated in 2022. Inside\, decades of belongings sat frozen in time. In February 2024\, the Library was preparing to renovate the rooms. Librarians had sorted and removed items to be sent to the University Archives and gave Yu access to use the remaining materials in her artworks. She was inspired by encountering ephemera related to the history of Ethnic Studies at UCSB and the day-to-day occupations of the library staff\, including file cabinets full of book dust jackets and printed correspondences\, and bulletin boards whose contents speak to the specific interests of former staff\, who were charged with the upkeep of the collections and space. \nThe dust jackets Yu found were once part of EGSC displays created by EGSC staff. “A former Black Studies Library Assistant told me that these displays often led to conversations with students\, which led to ongoing relationships\, including some longtime intergenerational friendships that lasted beyond individuals’ times as students or staff\,” Yu said. \nIn this exhibition\, Yu reinterpreted those same dust jackets and other ephemera to make curtains. Some details are obscured or blurred\, echoing how collective histories shift with time and institutional changes. By abstracting\, enlarging\, and translating the dust jackets and other documents relating to the history of the EGSC onto curtains\, the artist extends the lifespan of both the objects and the histories they remain connected to. \nThis exhibition is part of a campus-wide arts partnership with the UCSB Arts Equity Commons (AEC) to support opportunities for engagement of faculty\, students\, and staff through the presence and practices of contemporary artists. AEC was established in 2022 as a consortium of the Department of Art\, Department of History of Art and Architecture\, and the Art Design & Architecture Museum through a systemwide grant from the UC Office of the President. The artist would like to thank Gary Colmenar\, Angel Diaz\, Alyce Harris\, Sara Kelly\, Marisol Ramos\, Jonathan Rissmeyer\, and Kim Yasuda for their support of this project.

SUMMARY:Broadway Posters from the Golden Age: Selections from the Richard C. Norton Musical Theater Poster Collection
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition showcases historic Broadway posters from collector Richard C. Norton\, a comprehensive selection of musical theater posters 1972 to the present ranging from the famous to the obscure\, from the celebrated to the damned. These posters offer insight into the evolution of American musical theater\, graphic design\, marketing\, image branding and audience engagement. Far more than advertisements\, they reflect the artistic\, social and commercial contexts of their time—revealing how productions were first introduced\, how stars were celebrated\, and how visual trends paralleled theatrical innovation. As ephemeral objects\, their preservation provides rare evidence of the material culture surrounding performance. By examining these posters through an academic lens\, we can better understand Broadway’s influence on American theater\, music and popular culture. The exhibition invites viewers to explore how theater has been represented and remembered\, and how visual media contributes to the construction of cultural memory.\nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a lecture featuring Nicholas van Hoogstraten\, author of Broadway Poster Art: 1945–1969 (Schiffer Publishing\, 2024). \nAbout the Richard C. Norton Musical Theater History Collection:\nThe Richard C. Norton Musical Theater History Collection consists of materials documenting musical theater including 25\,000 playbills\, 800 typescripts\, and 1\,500 published libretti\, as well as sheet music and 78rpm records. Norton is the author of A Chronology of American Musical Theater (Oxford UP\, 2002) a landmark work with details on thousands of Broadway productions. The collection was assembled to support the research for his book.

SUMMARY:Unyielding Voices: Global Resistance and the Black Radical Tradition
DESCRIPTION:“Through most of our lives and work\, Cedric and I have had deep commitments to collaboration\, internationalism\, and solidarity movements.”–Elizabeth Robinson\, 2024 \nThis exhibition documents the life’s work of Cedric J. Robinson and Elizabeth Peters Robinson\, placing it in the global context of the Black radical tradition. The Robinsons were renowned for their seminal scholarship and activism that had wide-ranging influence at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB)\, in academia\, and across many public arenas. The exhibition is drawn from the Cedric J. and Elizabeth P. Robinson Archive (“Robinson Archive”) and supplemented by a variety of materials from other collections in UCSB Library’s Special Research Collections\, as well as personal contributions from Elizabeth Robinson. \n“[The Black radical tradition is] the continuing development of a collective consciousness informed by the historical struggles for liberation and motivated by the shared sense of obligation to preserve the collective being\, the ontological totality.” \n–Cedric Robinson\, Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition\, 1983 \nA deeply influential educator\, Cedric Robinson (1940-2016) was a well-known scholar of racial capitalism and the Black radical tradition\, and an active participant in political movements\, both at home and internationally. For more than 30 years\, Elizabeth Robinson has been an educator\, social worker\, former associate director for media at KCSB-FM radio\, activist\, and community media producer. \nWith the 2024 acquisition of the Robinson Archive from Elizabeth Robinson and the Robinsons’ daughter Najda Ife Robinson-Mayer\, the Library launched the Post-Custodial\, Community-based and Participatory Archives Project. This initiative aims to establish a living archive at UCSB centered on the Black Radical Tradition and the broader field of Black Studies. The Robinson Archive serves as an important anchor for the larger project\, and will enable global research\, teaching\, scholarship\, and sociopolitical and cultural activism for future generations. \nThis exhibition was curated by Yolanda Blue\, the Library’s Curator of American and International History\, Politics\, and Cultures Collections\, in collaboration with New York University and UCSB Library staff.
