    The act of censorship is complex, its definition elusive. In "Drawing the Curtain," student and faculty co-curators will investigate case studies of censorship within a college museum exhibition that raises questions about the rights of viewers to make their own choices about the images and objects at which they look. Should others be permitted to make such choices for us? Should our individual aesthetics, religious beliefs, or cultural comfort levels define or limit those choices for others? "Drawing the Curtain" asks its viewers to put themselves in the position of exploring the fundamental nature of these questions by interacting with images and ideas that might in some circumstances lead to acts of censorship. They are invited to "draw the curtain" and make their own decisions.
