The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death
1PM - 2PM
Step into a macabre, dollhouse-sized world of true crime. Created in the early 20th century by Frances Glessner Lee (1878−1962), a contemporary of Narcissa Niblack Thorne, the Nutshell Studies are exquisitely detailed crime scene dioramas used to train homicide investigators. Join author and photographer Corrine Botz for a deep dive into how these little rooms revolutionized forensics and continue to captivate pop culture today.
David Gonzalez and the Homies
2PM - 3PM
Librarian Jesse Lopez presents a look on David Gonzalez, the trailblazing Chicano artist behind the iconic Homies. From his early work in Lowrider Magazine and Teen Angel to the global phenomenon of the Homies universe, learn how Gonzalez’s lived experiences helped define a generation of Chicano art aesthetics.
Small Symposium is made possible by Cathie Lemon.
