Celebrate the opening of new exhibitions featuring newly acquired prints by Helen Frankenthaler, collection objects that explore the politics of the everyday, a new iteration of Viewpoints highlighting work from the Henry collection paired with responses from the University of Washington community, and a solo exhibition by artist Joiri Minaya!

EXHIBITIONS:

Opening July 5 | “Every Picture Somewhat of an Experiment”: Helen Frankenthaler Prints (Henry Art Gallery)
By the age of thirty-two, Helen Frankenthaler (1928—2011) had established herself in a white male-dominated art world as one of the leading American Abstract Expressionist painters of the twentieth century. Her distinctive “soak-stain” technique—applying thinned paint onto unprimed canvases on the floor to produce watercolor-like effects—introduced chance as an integral part of her artistic process. Printmaking, a technical process involving chemistry, collaboration, and repetition, might appear at odds with the spontaneity and physicality of her painting.

Opening July 11 | Day-to-Day: Rhythm, Routine, Resistance
(Henry Art Gallery)
This exhibition brings together contemporary artworks across media that explore the poetics and politics of everyday life. Using the day-to-day as both material and subject, these works explore how the ordinary and seemingly incidental can become a powerful source for artistic inquiry, critical reflection, and imagination.

Opening July 18 | Shark by Richard Learoyd (Henry Art Gallery)
Richard Learoyd’s (U.K., b. 1966) large-scale photograph of a dead grey reef shark in the Henry’s permanent collection. This photograph draws from lineages of scientific photography and still life across media, resulting in a picture that surfaces entanglements between traditions of imaging and practices of extraction from land, people, and other living creatures. Reflections from members of the UW community across Art History, Anthropology, and Marine Biology will examine these intersecting histories and contexts.

Opening July 25 | Joiri Minaya: To Hell With Hibiscus (Henry Art Gallery)
Joiri Minaya (b.1990, New York City; raised in the Dominican Republic) is a multidisciplinary artist who examines the Tropics as a constructed place and identity. As both performer and saboteur, Minaya challenges misrepresentations that reduce tropical geographies and their inhabitants to imagined fantasies of the colonial imagination. In her work, she reclaims Afro-Indigenous narratives of resistance, ancestral knowledges, and regenerative practices—especially those rooted in plant and botanical traditions.

Through August 30 | Woven in Wool: Resilience in Coast Salish Weaving (Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture)
Journey through the seasonal cycle of weaving, from gathering materials and spinning wool to dyeing with natural ingredients and weaving intricate designs. Along the way, learn firsthand from weavers and gain insight into the deep cultural and scientific knowledge embedded in every strand. Related Article by the Seattle Times: Thread of resilience runs through Salish wool-weaving exhibit at the Burke.

As you enter the exhibit, you’ll see baskets, tumplines, and raw materials — all part of the first phase of the weaving process: gathering. Ancestral weavings — some on loan and returning to Coast Salish territory for the first time in a century — are displayed alongside contemporary creations by the co-curators.

Eric-Paul Riege: ojo|-|ólǫ́ (Henry Art Gallery)
ojo|-|ólǫ́ (pronounced oh-ho hol-ohn) is an exhibition of recent and newly commissioned work by Diné artist Eric-Paul Riege (b. 1994, Na’nízhoozhí [Gallup, New Mexico]) that includes sculpture, textile, collage, and video, activated by moments of performance. Across this work, Riege combines customary Diné practices of weaving, silversmithing, and beading with contemporary cultural forms, exploring Diné cosmology, the history of Euro-American trading posts in and adjacent to the Navajo Nation, and the notion of “authenticity” as a value marker of Indigenous art and craft.

ART AROUND SEATTLE:

Volunteer Park: Chloë Bass: Soft Services (Henry Art Gallery)
The title, Soft Services, is a phrase drawn from the artist’s research and interviews with members of the activist community, in reference to the care efforts made during the height of the AIDS crisis. At the time, the rare opportunity arose to use the Ryan White (CARE Act) monies towards “soft services”—aspects of support deemed assistive but not strictly necessary and as such not covered by traditional healthcare (massage, meal trains, dog walking, etc.) Through this installation, Bass explores the notion of what true care means, what we define as essential versus optional, and who has access to it, questions of heightened importance at this moment of crisis and recovery.

Judkins Park Sound Transit: A Walk in the Neighborhood (School of Art + Art History + Design)
“A Walk in the Neighborhood,” a public art installation by Barbara Earl Thomas, ’73, ’77, is the culmination of 12 years of creative development. It features illustrated glass panels that serve as dividers and windbreaks on the terminal platform. The imagery features people and elements from the neighborhood rendered in Thomas’s cut-paper style.

Through August 8 | ARTS at King Street Station: 2025 SDOT Bridge Artists in Residence Showcase (School of Art + Art History + Design)
Vivian Cho is a visual designer and animator based in Seattle whose work includes themes of identity, nature, and digital nostalgia. Their practice is driven by curiosity and a love for experimentation, often exploring ways to synthesize 2D and 3D digital art with analog techniques. A recent graduate of the University of Washington’s Visual Communication Design program, Vivian has previously worked as a motion design intern at Netflix and a visual designer at the Jacob Lawrence Gallery. Currently, they are a staff designer at ARCADE NW Publishing, while also continuing to develop their independent practice and personal design and animation projects.

2026 History Lecture Series – Powers & Punishment: Histories of Incarceration (History)
Incarceration is a hotly debated topic in the United States, a country that has one of the highest rates of incarceration in the world. Looking at the practice from a historical perspective, what can incarceration teach us about who we were and who we are now? What might histories of incarceration, and the histories of those who have been incarcerated, tell us about power dynamics, belonging, exclusion, struggle, and hope across societies in the past and present? The 2026 History Lecture Series explores the practice of incarceration, tracing its evolution from antiquity to our modern world.

2026 Scheidel Lecture: Dr. Kathleen Hall Jamieson on Proactive Science Communication (Communication)
Kathleen Hall Jamieson is the Elizabeth Ware Packard Professor of Communication at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, the Walter and Leonore Annenberg Director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and the cofounder of the fact-checking site FactCheck.org and its science subsite, SciCheck. In this lecture, Dr. Jamieson argues that scientists and science communicators would be well served by using a “mental models” approach to simultaneously increase consequential knowledge and reduce public susceptibility to misconceptions about controversial climate and health findings. By engaging audiences with visual, verbal, or animated models, this approach creates understandings of science on which audiences could draw to recognize and reject consequential misconceptions.

9th Annual Lee Scheingold Lecture in Poetry and Poetics: Ange Mlinko (English)
Nationally-acclaimed poet and critic Ange Mlinko lecture, “When Poets Say Nothing,” addresses the use of a negative mode in poetry, called apophasis or the apophatic. Her title itself is a clever pun that operates on several levels. Poets have always been accused of saying nothing much, of course. William Butler Yeats describes this accusation as a professional hazard; to be a poet is to “[b]e thought an idler by the noisy set / Of bankers, schoolmasters, and clergymen / The martyrs call the world.” On a different level, though, it is equally true that poets themselves invoke the negative to create distinct artistic and intellectual effects from those of positive language. As Mlinko noted, the apophatic is historically connected to theology, with figures from the ancient world such as Saint Augustine of Hippo urging that correct human understanding of God must always be tempered by humility. Humans cannot understand the divine, writes Augustine; if you think you understand something, you can be sure it is not God. Poets say nothing when nothing is precisely the thing that needs to be said.

Influencers (before that was a thing) (School of Art + Art History + Design)
Visual Communication Design faculty members Karen Cheng, Annabelle Gould, Chad P. Hall, and Kristine Matthews give a series of short presentations reflecting on the designers, projects, and ideas that have shaped their practices and design values—from their time as students through their early careers.

• What Does Law Mean in Crisis? How Crip Feminist Technoscience Will Save Us
  In the shadow of an empire, in a world on fire, what if we could imagine — and build — otherwise? Crip feminist technoscience teaches us how to wield disabled, mad, neuroexpansive, crip, sick people’s wisdom as a vital tool for surviving now and thriving then. Disabled people know intimately how to strategically leverage legal and policy tools and know precisely the limitations of these tools and frameworks.
• Palestine to Iraq with Adam Hanieh
  While World War I is often framed as a European conflict, its most far-reaching consequences were profoundly felt far beyond Europe’s borders. In the Middle East, the war sparked a sweeping political crisis that ultimately led to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. In its wake, the European victors imposed new borders and mandates, carving the region into fragmented zones of imperial control and influence. But this was not merely a story of unchecked colonial dominance. In the postwar moment, a spectrum of fluid, intersecting anti-colonial movements emerged. Palestine became a key site in these struggles, as a racialized order of settler-colonial capitalism took shape under British rule. This talk locates those movements within the broader transition from British to American imperial ascendancy, contending that the political history of the region must be understood as integral to the global history of fossil capitalism. Moving beyond frameworks centered solely on empire, the talk examines how anti-colonial actors envisioned their futures within a rapidly transforming global system—even as new hierarchies of race, empire, and capital were being redefined.
• America’s Character and the Rule of Law with George Conway III
  This talk explores the idea that the endurance of the rule of law in the United States relies not solely on the provisions of the Constitution—its structural framework, the institutions it established, or the rights it enshrines—but fundamentally on the character of its citizens. Qualities such as public-spiritedness, tolerance, moderation, empathy, mutual respect, a sense of fair play, and, ultimately, intelligence, honor, and decency form the foundation of constitutional democracy.
• Philosophical Nonviolence and the Democratic Ideal with John Wood Jr.

Join us to learn how the words we choose and the ways we listen can foster trust, reduce disparities, and build a system that cares for everyone with dignity.
• The AI Con with Emily M. Bender and Alex Hanna
  Is artificial intelligence on the brink of world domination? Have tech giants created autonomous thinking machines? Will AI render authors, artists, and other creatives obsolete? Are we entering an era where computers surpass humans in every way?
• Unpacking Legacy: From the Personal to the Systemic with Dr. Uché Blackstock
  In this powerful and deeply personal talk, Dr. Uché Blackstock explores the legacies that have shaped her journey—both personal and institutional.

2025-26 Katz Distinguished Lecture Series (Simpson Center for the Humanities)
The Katz Distinguished Lectures Playlist offers a rich, ever-growing archive to explore from anywhere, inviting you to engage with a wide range of thought-provoking topics.

• Comparison Controversies: Historical Analogy and the Politics of Holocaust Memory, Michael Rothberg
  Why do we turn to the past in order to confront the crises of the present? Michael Rothberg approaches this question from the perspective of “comparison controversies,” which occur when impassioned public debates emerge from provocative historical comparisons. Since October 7, 2023, political speeches, protests, magazine articles, and social media posts have generated controversy by connecting recent events in Israel and Gaza to the Holocaust. In this talk, Rothberg will consider post-October 7 examples in relation to a larger context of comparison controversies and a longer trajectory of Holocaust memory to reflect more generally on the possibilities and pitfalls of historical analogy.
• Resisting Dehumanization in the Age of “AI”: The View from the Humanities, Emily M. Bender
  The production and promotion of so-called “AI” technology involves dehumanization on many fronts: the computational metaphor valorizes one kind of cognitive activity as “intelligence,” devaluing many other aspects of human experience while taking an isolating, individualistic view of agency, ignoring the importance of communities and webs of relationships. Meanwhile, the purpose of humans is framed as being labelers of data or interchangeable machine components. Data collected about people is understood as “ground truth” even while it lies about those people, especially marginalized people. In this talk, Bender will explore these processes of dehumanization and the vital role that the humanities have in resisting these trends by painting a deeper and richer picture of what it is to be human.

Going Deep on the Vera Rubin Observatory, with UW Professor Željko Ivezić (Astronomy)
