The Johnson Memorial Building Exhibition Gallery will host a collection of works by artist, image maker, and photographer Hannah Smith Allen, reimagining the U.S./Mexico border. “Beyond Walls” opened Tuesday, March 11, at the Johnson Exhibition Gallery on the Middlebury College campus.

“Beyond Walls” features works made during Donald Trump’s first presidency, including still photographs, unique screen prints, and Borderlands, an accordion book/sculptural object originally published by the VSW Press in 2021. Also included in this exhibition is “Target Practice,” a series of military targets fabricated out of acrylic mirror. The work holds a mirror up to current politics and invites viewers to imagine new possibilities in interpreting, interrupting, and engaging with the American landscape and its political systems. Free and open to all during gallery hours: Sun. 1-7 p.m.; Mon.-Thurs. 9 a.m.-7 p.m.; Fri. 9 a.m.-5 p.m.; closed Saturdays.

Note: The college will be on break from Friday, March 14 through Sunday, March 23. The Johnson Gallery will have limited hours during this time.
