Gender includes the way we think about ourselves, how we present ourselves to others, the roles we take on, and more. Gender matters for our health, our work, or relationships with others, and for many of us, nearly every aspect of our lives. In the summer of 2022, a research team led by Dr. Jessamyn Moxie, faculty in public health at UNC-Charlotte, asked 25 adults in North Carolina to submit 5 photos about how their gender had shifted during the pandemic. The team then interviewed the subjects about their photographs. This exhibit presents the photos and corresponding text from their interviews.

Tobacco has played a significant role in shaping North Carolina’s cultural, economic, and social identity, even before the state’s official establishment. Early depictions of Native American communities along the coast at the end of the 16th century show cultivation and use of the plant.

During the 19th century, tobacco became a cornerstone of the plantation economy, generating immense wealth for select families. In the 20th century, the rise of mass production and commercialization, along with an expanding labor force dedicated to its cultivation and processing, further embedded tobacco in North Carolina’s way of life. Marketing campaigns and iconic imagery tied to tobacco are deeply woven into the state’s historical narrative.

This exhibit showcases images, artifacts, and records from Special Collections & Archives, spanning from the sixteenth century to the modern era. It also features contributions from North Carolina artists and photographers, including Daisha Bunn and Erin Kye and their families, as well as works by photographer Dan Routh.

Home explores the many ways in which the concept of "home" is constructed across cultures. Curated by Wake Forest students in a First-Year Seminar, the exhibition showcases artifacts from the collection that reflect the physical and conceptual diversity of homes around the world. In addition to these global artifacts, the display features objects from the Wake Forest campus, illustrating how students reimagine home in their new academic environment. Admission is free.

The Lam Museum of Anthropology is excited to showcase a selection of newly acquired objects from the closed Museum of World Cultures at the University of North Carolina-Wilmington. This partnership brings back into public view nearly 300 ethnographic, historical, and archaeological pieces from around the world, and adds significant depth to the Lam Museum’s already expansive collection. This exhibit celebrates some of these objects spanning cultures, continents, and centuries. Although only a portion of the collection is on display, these highlights demonstrate the rich variety and interconnectedness of humanity. Admission is free.

Colors have many symbolic meanings in East Asian fashion. This exhibit features clothing from China and Japan organized by the five basic colors of black, red, green-blue, white, and yellow. These colors are traditionally associated with the elements of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, respectively. Originating in the mythical past, color symbolism was popularized throughout East Asia with the spread of religious and philosophical ideas. Just as the elements were thought to combine into more complex materials, colors could be combined into complex poetic expressions. Visitors can explore these connections between color, nature, and fashion in this student-curated exhibit.
