Sorting Out Race
Sorting Out Race: Examining Racial Identity and Stereotype in Thrift Store Donations
Fresno State’s Library Diversity Committee will host the traveling exhibition, “Sorting Out Race: Examining Racial Identity and Stereotype in Thrift Store Donations” during normal library hours from Sept. 9 through Oct. 28. The free, public interactive exhibition will be on display in the Pete P. Peters Ellipse Balcony gallery on the third floor (north wing) of the library.
Designed to resemble a thrift-store front, the exhibition examines the relationship of cultural artifacts and racial identity as viewed through the framework of thrift store donations. It poses the question: should objects of stereotypical representation remain circulating in today’s society or should they be “sorted out” of the resale market and discarded?
