Graffiti: A Library Guide to Aerosol Art is an exhibition that highlights library resources to help investigate aerosol art as an important historical, cultural, and aesthetic phenomenon, one that merits scholarly attention. Graffiti, in all its manifestations, has been a way for voiceless and invisible communities to be seen and heard. The Rose Library includes several photograph collections, as well as books and printed matter related to graffiti.

Graffiti, style writing, or aerosol art-It doesn't matter what we call It-represents one of the most dynamic and interesting visual elements in our everyday environment. Flashes of white or silver draw our eyes to "throw-ups" on walls; large, multi-color "burners" rush past us on the sides of freight cars; and pieces from around the country and the world appear regularly in our social media feeds. No matter where we are or what we are doing, style writing is an integral and underexamined part of our world.

"...the first comprehensive edition of the letters of Irish-born Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett..."

This exhibit will present materials from each of the four volumes of The Letters of Samuel Beckett. Curated by Lois More Overbeck, the one of the editors, this exhibit offers more than 30 years of scholarship and insight into the life and work of Samuel Beckett.

The Letters of Samuel Beckett is the first comprehensive edition of the letters of Irish-born Nobel laureate Samuel Beckett (1906–1989). Perhaps best known for En attendant Godot (Waiting for Godot), Beckett wrote fiction, poetry, and criticism as well as drama for stage, radio, television, and film. Writing in both English and French, he translated much of his work from one language into the other and assisted or directed productions of his plays.

"Black students marched, demonstrated, picketed, and 'rapped' on those institutions affecting the lives of workers and students at Emory."

“Exploring From the Archives: Black Student Activism” is a physical exhibit based upon engagement with the online exhibit “From the Archives: Black Student Activism.” Selected documents from the Emory University Archives tell a story of the 1969 protests in which Black students presented a list of demands to the administration challenging it to improve the experience of being Black at Emory. The exhibit seeks to encourage others to view these materials and to further explore for themselves the more extensive holdings and resources of the online exhibit.
