Wyoming Tour of Between Fences is Now Closed

Between Fences is a traveling exhibit created by the Smithsonian Institution.

Between Fences toured Pinedale, Evanston, Meeteetse, Sheridan and Sundance in 2007-08 in partnership with the Wyoming Humanities Council. www.uwyo.edu/humanities

Between Fences weaves the history of fences into the development of the United States and the West as we know it today. From colonial stockades to the range wars to today’s gated communities, the exhibition explores the many ways that fence building has transformed our nation. Visitors will walk through and around actual fences as they explore the nature of space and boundaries.

How do fences both divide and unite us? What do we fence in, and fence out? These programs will consider fences both in their visible form on the landscape and as metaphors for the barriers that separate us along the lines of race, religion and economic status.

In conjunction with the exhibition, the Wyoming Humanities Council will sponsor statewide programs that expand upon the Between Fences theme, including "Wyoming Fence Lines," a Between Fences anthology (available on Amazon); "Border Lines," a film series; Reading Wyoming: Living Between Fences; and a special Humanities Forum.

Border Lines Film Series:

-The Terminal

-Lone Star

-North Country

-Mississippi Masala

-Smoke Signals
