On the bicentennial of the publication of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, this exhibit showcases the result of an artistic collaboration that brings together university students and members of the Walls to Bridges Collective, a group of incarcerated and non-incarcerated women dedicated to creating collaborative and innovative learning communities within correctional settings (http://wallstobridges.ca/). Participants each “erased” several pages of the novel, strategically blotting out words to create a new literary work of art: an “erasure,” a long poem piggybacking on Shelley’s original work. 

Project leaders Sue Sinclair & Elizabeth Effinger, of the University of New Brunswick, will be at the library to launch the exhibit and discuss the project: what it is, why it is, who’s involved, and what ideas and relationships have emerged from the process.
