39 Trails: Research in the Peruvian Amazon July 1, 2012

This exhibition, which is co-sponsored by KU's Biodiversity Institute, will be the platform for sharing the creative projects made by a group of KU researchers who travelled to the Peruvian Amazon last summer. The team included seven undergraduate students and one graduate student under the direction of KU curator/professors Caroline Chaboo (Entomology) and Steve Goddard (Spencer Museum of Art). Everyone involved relied heavily on a small map of the base of their activity, the Cicra Biological Field Station. The map detailed thirty-nine trails, underscoring the human presence in the rain forest, as well as the difficulty of navigating it.
