If you've had a chance to browse our book display shelves recently, you may have noticed a section devoted to Speaking Volumes: Transforming Hate. This display was created in conjunction with UM's Montana Museum of Art & Culture (MMAC).
According to the MMAC, the Montana Human Rights Network obtained 4,000 white supremacist books in 2004. With help from the Holter Museum of Art, artists across the country were invited to transform these books into works of art that "reflect social justice issues and stimulate civic dialogue." You can view a portion of this altered book art project at the MMAC gallery through March 6th. The exhibition will then continue on at the Mansfield Library on campus.
