The exhibit “Faces of Hope: The Women and Men of Cornell” will display October 1-30 at Mount Vernon Creates, 121 First Street West, Mount Vernon, Iowa.
The exhibit features over a hundred images of Cornell College students taken between 1981 and 1995 when they were undergraduates. Come see the times then. The images are fun, quirky, and of insight into the times. Now these people are in their 50s and 60s, evidence that time travel exists to see back to the times of attire, hair styles, simple glances and the great spirit of being in college.
Background:
Between 1980-1998 Bob Campagna extensively photographed the diverse and wondrous life of Cornell College, including athletics, architecture, social gatherings, concerts, official guests, faculty, and individual students. Of particular note were the numerous “Men of Cornell” and one “Women of Cornell” calendars he helped produce as fundraisers for the Phi-O and Newt social groups. His Homecoming, 2022 exhibit “Faces of Hope: the Women and Men of Cornell” features select calendar (and other) images of students photographed as undergraduates, sprinkled with a few faculty who were featured images. Now his student subjects are in their 50s and early 60s, having lived full lives since these portraits were taken. “I had taken tens of thousands of Cornell photographs during that era,” Campagna said, adding “My images provide a glimpse into the vast student lives of that time. It’s time travel!” Campagna’s exhibit will have an estimated 130 images, which he describes as “a mere fragent of the images I took. But I had to start somewhere.”
The “Faces of Hope: the Women and Men of Cornell” exhibit will display during the full month of October, 2022 at Mount Vernon Creates, 121 First Street West.
