Drawn f rom rare books and medical botany texts found in the Louise B. Belsterling Botanical Collection\, this exhibition highlights species once valued for beauty\, medicine\, and ritual use—and at times intentionally misused\, even when their dangers were known.\n\nFrom the delicate bells of foxglov e to the dark berries of deadly nightshade\, these plants reveal a long hi story of experimentation\, misidentification\, and discovery. Detailed bot anical illustrations highlight both the beauty and the danger of these pla nts. Presented during the fall\, the exhibition draws on what might be cal led the plant world’s own spooky season\, when familiar forms take on da rker meanings and hidden risks come into focus.\n\nThe exhibition cases ex tend this theme beyond plants themselves. On view are 19th‑century books bound in vivid green covers now suspected to contain arsenic‑based pigm ents. Once fashionable and eye‑catching\, these bindings represent anoth er form of dangerous beauty\, objects prized for their appearance\, yet ca rrying risks that were poorly understood at the time.\n\nVisitors who wish to explore this topic further are invited to join Ye Olde Book Club on 10 /27/2026\, in Special Collections\, for a discussion of The Arsenic Centur y: How Victorian Britain Was Poisoned at Home\, Work\, and Play.

Bringing together works that ra nge from traditional pen-and-paper\n\ncompositions to sculptural forms\, i nstallations\, and multimedia experiences\,\n\nthis exhibition reveals cal ligraphy as both a living artistic tradition and as a\n\ncontinually evolv ing contemporary artistic practice.\n\nAt its core\, Post-Script honors th e discipline of calligraphy in its most\n\nfundamental form\, the intimate relationship between ink\, paper\, and gesture\,\n\nwhile also challengin g the boundaries of where calligraphy can exist and the\n\nways in which i t can be experienced. Through the experimental approaches\n\nof contempora ry calligraphers Farzana Razzaque and Mahdi Dolatyari\, this\n\nexhibition examines the manner in which artists renegotiate the practice of\n\ncalli graphy and its ability to transform the written word\, both typographicall y\n\nand topographically\, into fluid expressions imbued with new material s\, spaces\,\n\nand contexts.\n\nDrawing from the artists’ experiences w ith language\, translation\, diaspora\,\n\nand belonging\, “script” in this context serves as a vessel for memory\,\n\nidentity\, and personal h istories. Reflecting the complexities of navigating\n\nmultiple cultures a nd languages\, this exhibition invites audiences to consider\n\ncalligraph y as an aesthetic tradition that\, as a living\, adaptable form of\n\nexpr ession\, carries personal narratives across time and place.
