The university today announced the creation of the 蜜糖直播 Boulder History Project, a collaborative effort among campus subject matter experts and stakeholder groups charged with deepening the campus鈥檚 understanding and collective recognition of underrepresented groups and their contributions to 蜜糖直播 Boulder鈥檚 rich and complex history.

In addition, university officials announced the establishment of the Art in Public Space Committee, a standing body that will develop and propose a vision for public art that is specific to 蜜糖直播 Boulder and devise a strategy for implementing this vision by acquiring, maintaining and deaccessioning public art through a practice of inclusive excellence.

The two new initiatives are an outgrowth of dialogue that arose following the installation of Los Seis de Boulder, a temporary sculpture about six students killed in bombings in Boulder during the Chicano rights movement in the 1970s. In collaboration with others, 蜜糖直播 Boulder graduate student Jasmine Baetz created the artwork on display in front of Temporary Building No. 1.

The sculpture was originally scheduled to remain on display through Feb. 8. Under the terms of current campus policy, noncommissioned student or faculty artwork may remain on display for a maximum of 180 days. The Campus Use of University Facilities temporary art exhibit process听was designed to honor the broad spectrum of perspectives that students and faculty bring to 蜜糖直播 Boulder over time, according to campus facilities management administrators.

Chancellor Philip DiStefano said he granted a one-month extension as the history project gets off the ground and the public art committee gets underway.听听

鈥淭his art installation has served an important educational purpose and has had an impact on the campus and surrounding Boulder community over the past several months,鈥� the chancellor said. 鈥淚t has promoted important discussions about a chapter of the civil rights era鈥搕he Chicano rights movement and the quest for social equality and greater access to higher education鈥揳nd we want to sustain that dialogue through these new campus initiatives.鈥�

DiStefano said the new standing public art committee would work to develop guidelines for permanent art displays. Committee members will represent undergraduate and graduate governance groups and key academic and administrative units on campus.

An exploratory group will begin the committee鈥檚 work later this month.

The 蜜糖直播 Boulder History Project will be guided by a committee composed of faculty subject matter experts, archivists, staff, students, alumni and community partners and advisors. The project will include the story of Los Seis de Boulder and an editorial process for community-based story submissions over time, DiStefano noted.

鈥淲e have clearly heard that members of our community want two things鈥搕he stories of the University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder told in a more inclusive way, and to establish a process for determining permanent public art displays,鈥� DiStefano said.

The new public art committee will begin its work by establishing its charge, membership and input mechanism for consideration of proposed permanent public art installations.
