11 a.m.	College of Wooster Art Museum: Mud + Corn + Stone + Blue \| Curated by Laura Augusta This traveling exhibition weaves a story of agriculture and political intervention, told through the eyes of artists. Beginning with the U.S. Farm Crisis of the 1970s, this exhibition traces the experiences of farming – specifically small-scale, family farms – in relation to the U.S. foreign policy in Central America during the 1980s. Four elements guide the exhibition: Mud, Corn, Stone, and Blue – in all their material qualities and cultural connotations. Mud + Corn + Stone + Blue invites us to reconsider our own relationships to land, food, and remembering, in order to imagine the political possibilities of another future.	Ebert Art Center
