For alliances with the beaver people features an 11 meter-long embroidered tapestry that illustrates key moments in the history of beaver-human relationships, tracing how rivers evolve through collaborations between these two species. An explicit reference to the 11th-century Bayeux Tapestry that depicted 58 unique scenes of battle, Husky’s work uses this tapestry form to visualize cross-species mutuality and regeneration rather than battle. The exhibition also features a documentary film about the Vermont naturalist Patti Smith, who takes us into her world of beaver friends and teachers. For the exhibition reception on February 12, Husky will be joined by a panel of researchers, writers, and naturalists (including Patti Smith) to discuss beaver ecologies and the future of their watersheds.In collaboration with Picker Art Gallery. Co-sponsored by Colgate Arts Council, University Studies, Environmental Studies, Film and Media Studies, Biology, Romance Languages and Literature, Geography, and HistoryPlease note: Husky will also be exhibiting a textile work entitled La Noble Pastoral in Picker Gallery's A Thought Is A Thread: Contemporary Artists Reworking Textile Traditions, on exhibit February 21 through May 18.*Please note: Weekend hours are dependent on the availability of student monitors.

Borders in the United States have never been a mere line in the sand. Since the early twenty-first century, a range of systems work in concert to produce the Border Patrol’s “change detection capability”: unmanned aerial systems (UASs), agents performing sign cutting, relay towers, remote video surveillance systems, imaging sensors, and unattended ground sensors, among many others. This talk argues this arrangement prototyped the border as a networked platform because actors approached it as a complex, interlocking yet changing system of information. Drawing on my book, The Cybernetic Border: Drones, Technology, and Intrusion, this talk explores how the politics of enmity and data inform the making of U.S. sovereignty.Iván Chaar López is an Assistant Professor of Digital Studies in the Department of American Studies and the Principal Investigator of the Border Tech Lab, a research collective at the University of Texas at Austin. His research and teaching examine the history and politics of computing and information infrastructures. With his Lab, Chaar López studies computing in the Americas, digital labor and the future of work, and data infrastructures in border enforcement. He is the author of The Cybernetic Border: Drones, Technology, and Intrusion (Duke University Press, 2024) and co-author of Precarity Lab's Technoprecarious (Goldsmiths Press, 2020).This lecture is part of the 24-25 Digital War speaker series of the Peace and Conflcit Studies program
