 In this exhibition, co-curated by [Eve Blau](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/eve-blau) and [Alexandra Vacroux](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/alexandra-vacroux) to mark the Davis Center's 75th anniversary, Harvard scholars and artists — including Davis Center students past and present — grapple with the transformations wrought by history in six thought-provoking projects:

- Journalist-turned-anthropologist [**Alisa Sopova**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/alisa-sopova) and photographer [**Anastasia Taylor-Lind**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/anastasia-taylor-lind) capture life within five kilometers of the frontline in eastern Ukraine.
- [**Alex Fisher**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/alex-fisher), a recent graduate of the Graduate School of Design (GSD), follows the tortuous path of 6 million Soviet-made anti-personnel mines inherited by Ukraine.
- GSD PhD student [**Morgan Forde**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/morgan-forde) tells of four intrepid American women lured to the Soviet Union as tourists in the 1930s by a glitzy magazine, specially aimed at Westerners.
- Architect and historian [**Igor Ekstajn**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/igor-ekstajn) considers a hydropower project on the mighty Danube as both bridge and boundary between competing versions of socialism.
- In a second exhibit, with his collaborator **Michael Keller, Ekstajn** explores the changing face of Lower Lusatia, one of Europe’s most profoundly transformed postindustrial regions.
- And current Davis Center student [**Dasha Bough**](https://daviscenter.fas.harvard.edu/about/people/daria-bough) brings all these stories together in a stunning map collage greeting visitors as they enter.

 ***On display until Feb. 25, 2024. CGIS South, Concourse Level, 1730 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA.***

 *Correction: An earlier version of this post mistakenly listed Michael Keller as a collaborator on Igor Ekstajn's Danube exhibit, instead of the Lower Lusatia exhibit.*
