Two women study a puzzle in a corner of a room filled with black and white illustrations

Students from the Indigenous Teacher Education Program (ITEP) visiting the Worlds of Words Center complete a double-sided puzzle that is part of the ‘Black White Grey’ exhibit from the International Youth Library in Munich, Germany.

For the reception, the center will open our special collections to look at original illustrations and sketches we pulled from our archives to complement the new exhibit. Additionally, we have seven original illustrations from Moon Song by Ron Himler on display. These striking watercolor and gouache pieces are part of a recent donation by the artist of more than 400 illustrations.

The reception is free and open to the public. Please RSVP.

The “Black White Grey” reception is part of the College of Education Homecoming activities. We hope you can make all of them!
