Join us for a pop-up exhibit of books and related crafted objects to find out! \nChat with students from UVic’s English 482 class about what their crafting projects reveal about literature\, from classics like Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse\, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s The Little Prince\, and Isaac Asimov’s I\, Robot to recent bestsellers like Han Kang’s The Vegetarian.

Professor Mary Elizabeth Leighton and MA student Kalea Furmanek-Raposo will lead this informal workshop. Everyone is welcome!
