Chazen Museum of Art | Student Night at Sifting & Reckoning

Join us for Student Night at the UW–Madison Public History Project’s exhibition Sifting & Reckoning: UW–Madison’s History of Exclusion and Resistance at the Chazen Museum of Art. Learn more about the history of UW–Madison and the impact that students, faculty, and staff have had on changing our campus community. Free food and musical performances from UW’s own First Wave!

The University of Wisconsin–Madison’s Public History Project is a multi-year effort to uncover and give voice to those who experienced, challenged and overcame prejudice on campus.
The exhibition, Sifting & Reckoning: UW–Madison’s History of Exclusion and Resistance, brings to light stories of struggle and perseverance. Through archival objects, photographs, and oral histories the exhibit will illuminate under-recognized histories in the university’s past. Visitors will meet the university’s first students of color, explore early struggles for equality in social organizations, housing, and athletics, and learn about protest movements on campus.
This exhibition is on display in the Rowland Gallery until December 23, 2022.
