Spring 2026 Exhibitions
Everything a Body of Work, Becky Johnson
"Everything a Body of Work" is a retrospective exhibition showcasing a selection of the work that Becky Johnson created as a graduate student in textiles in the Visual Art department at the University of Kansas.
Ouch, Barbara Lane Tharas
Ouch is an exhibition by Barbara Lane Tharas consisting of paintings, found objects, letters, and zines that express queerness, fatness, family, and rejection. By experiencing this work, we find solidarity in the merged acts of following a visual narrative and reflecting on our own types of familial relationships. Community and empathy can ultimately resolve anything.
Reclaiming Home: Remembering the Topeka Bottoms
Reclaiming Home: Remembering the Topeka Bottoms is a project directed by professor of Visual Art María Velasco, created with filmmaker and producer Matt Jacobson, oral historian Valerie Mendoza, and researcher and archivist Neill Esquibel-Kennedy, that addresses the mass displacement resulting from urban renewal in the Topeka Bottoms.
Almost a Body: Not Quite a Thing
"Almost a Body: Not Quite a Thing" is an exhibition curated by the 2025-2026 ICRC residents at the University of Kansas, Sunyoung Park and Seuil Chung, who bring together student work informed by their research from two studio courses, Botanical Form in Clay and Abstract Forms.

Chimera, Student Exhibition
Chimera is an exhibition exploring the retelling of myths, hybrid bodies, and dreams made real that features the work of undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Visual Art at the University of Kansas.
Preservation of Bodies, Emily Mulvaney
In this debut solo exhibition, Mulvaney explores the procedures and materials used in the laboratory to preserve, maintain, and archive specimens and other nonhumans. She investigates the history and ethics of such practices, asking whether we can expand or introduce new ways of halting degradation. Through her work, Mulvaney questions if true preservation exists, and whether fragments of a being can sufficiently represent its entirety.
