Visions Seen in the Air: An Invitational Exhibit
www.willacather.org
The 2023 Spring Conference in Red Cloud will be a celebration of 150 years of Willa Cather’s life and work.
Join us this Friday 5/19 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm when we unveil our newest student-curated exhibit “Fashioning Grief: Women’s Mourning Clothing and Customs in the Victorian Era.” Admission is FREE and light refreshments will be provided.![]()

Developed by UNK art history student Emma Seward, "Fashioning Grief" examines how Queen Victoria’s public mourning of her beloved Prince Albert set the standard from across the Atlantic for many American funeral traditions still observed today. A deep dive into the fascinating, occasionally macabre, and oft-hidden history of grief, mourning garb, fashion, jewelry, and social norms, the exhibit is part of the Frank Museum and the University of Nebraska Kearney’s experiential learning initiative. This program lets UNK students from a variety of majors and backgrounds lead the way on new exhibits and social media programs while earning experiences that will help their careers throughout their lives. The exhibit will be on permanent display starting Friday the 19th and will highlight items from the Museum’s collection, including period mourning garb and a wreath made of human hair, a common Victorian tradition used to remember the deceased.
