About This Exhibit
Puppetry has emerged in every inhabited part of the globe as one in the repertoire of activities that have made us human since the dawn of time.—Roger Manley, Director & Chief Curator, Gregg Museum of Art & Design, from the Introduction
The NC State University Libraries is pleased to host Life's Little Dramas: Puppets, Proxies, and Spirits, an exhibit conceived and curated by NC State's Gregg Museum of Art & Design. Culled from a recent gift from John C. Henry, along with key works on loan, the exhibit hosts a complete Edwardian-era "Punch and Judy" troupe, Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppets, and marionettes from India, Sri Lanka, the Czech Republic, and the earliest days of broadcast television, including America’s first TV “star”—any guesses?
