The Power of Pictures
- Where: UTA Central Library, 702 Planetarium Pl, Arlington
- Cost: Free
- Age limit: All ages
“The Power of Pictures,” an exhibition that challenges visitors to evaluate maps, pictorial prints and photographs is the latest to go up in the University of Texas at Arlington’s Special Collections area. Viewers can judge the evidence of a cartographic war in which cartographers of two countries created pictorial claims and counter claims to empire; learn the identity of a person mysteriously removed from a 1906 photograph; and consider how trees can become mountains. Free and open to the public, the exhibit introduces the critical evaluation of images through a series of questions about the purpose, the audience, the source and possible manipulation of the images. Special Collections is on the sixth floor of Central Library, 702 Planetarium Place. This exhibit was curated by Public Services Librarian Lea Worcester and a free gallery guide is available. The Power of Pictures runs through the fall semester; hours are Monday 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reach Special Collections at (817) 272-3393 or spcoref@uta.edu.
