​

Exhibition | Sep 14 - Nov 15, 2026
Anderson Academic Commons – Denver University

The project is a partnership between the Women's Caucus for Art Colorado Chapter, the University of Denver Libraries. and the Blair Caldwell Library.

(Un)Altered Books: Unheard Voices invites artists to reclaim banned books and overlooked, erased, or silenced histories through visual book-based art forms. Using books as object, structure, or metaphor, artists will transform research, archives, and lived experience into powerful acts of storytelling and restoration that tell the full story of us.

This project blends artmaking, research, archives, and community engagement, offering artists
guided access to historical resources, bookmaking techniques, and a supportive creative cohort. This project is in partnership with the Women’s Caucus for Art – Colorado, University of Denver Libraries and the Blair Caldwell Library
