A panel discussion will be held on October 22, 2025. Consult the Staniar Gallery website for event details. \"Locating the Law\" explores the places where Germany's constitutional identity has taken shape-from medieval cathedrals and Enlightenment-era town halls to postwar courthouses and modern office buildings. Featuring photographs by Alexander Telesniuk and adapted from the book Verfassungorte\/Constitutional Places by Russell A. Miller, Markus Lang, and Kai-Michael Sprenger, the exhibition considers how democracy is rooted not just in texts but in physical spaces and shared public memory. Spanning over five centuries, the exhibition highlights sites where constitutions were debated, drafted, or defended. Telesniuk's images reflect the symbolic and practical importance of these locations, reminding viewers that building and maintaining a constitutional society is a collective, ongoing effort. The project builds on an original book project funded and published by Stiftung Orte der deutschen Demokratiegeschichte (The Foundation for the Places of the History of Germa Democracy).\r\n\r\nOrganized by Russell A. Miller and curated by John Gregory, Locating the Law is supported by the German Law Journal, the Frances Lewis Law Center and Washington and Lee's Art and Art History Department.\r\n\r\nPlease visit the gallery website for date changes and updates: http:\/\/go.wlu.edu\/staniar","start":"2025-09-04 09:00:00.000","stop":"2025-10-31 21:00:00.000","department":["Lenfest Center"],"readonlydepartment":null,"aduser":"hopkinsa","email":"hopkinsa@wlu.edu","name":"Ann Hopkins","creator":"hopkinsa","created":"2025-07-31 15:58:10.000","location":"Lykes Atrium\/Wilson Hall\/Lenfest Center","status":null,"statusupdate":null,"livestream":"","datestring":"Sep 4, 2025: 9:00 am to Oct 31, 2025: 9:00 pm"},{"ID":"17124","eventtype":"4","audience":"6,7,8,9,10,11,24,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,2,23","eventname":"NATIVE ART & ANCESTRAL INSPIRATION: DRAWING ENDURANCE POP-UP EXHIBIT","description":"LENFEST OUTREACH & ENGAGEMENT SERIES\/KAMEN GALLERY\r\n\r\nNATIVE ART & ANCESTRAL INSPIRATION: DRAWING ENDURANCE\r\nPOP-UP EXHIBIT\r\nKAMEN GALLERY\/LENFEST HALL\r\n\r\nThursday, September 4- Monday, December 15, 2025.
