During the Civil War, the utility and widespread availability of opium and morphine made opiates essential to wartime medicine. After the war ended, thousands of ailing soldiers became addicted, or “enslaved,” as nineteenth-century Americans phrased it. Veterans, their families, and communities struggled to cope with addiction’s health and social consequences. Medical and government authorities compounded veterans’ suffering and imbued the epidemic with cultural meaning by branding addiction as a matter of moral weakness, unmanliness, or mental infirmity. Drawing from veterans’ firsthand accounts as well as mental asylum and hospital records, government and medical reports, newspaper coverage of addiction, and advertisements, Jonathan S. Jones unearths the poorly understood stories of opiate-addicted Civil War veterans in unflinching detail, illuminating the war’s traumatic legacies. In doing so, Jones provides critical historical context for the modern opioid crisis, which bears tragic resemblance to that of the post–Civil War era.

Artist Edward Steffanni explores the connections between the queer body, spirituality, and nature through ceramics, printmaking, and performance. God-Shaped Hole draws parallels between the obscuring of sexual orientation and hunting in nature as the artist considers concealability and the surveillance of the queer experience. Steffanni earned his B.A. at Mount Vernon Nazarene University and his M.F.A. in printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design.

In conjunction with Edward Steffanni: God-Shaped Hole, “Untitled” (L.A.), 1991 by Felix Gonzales-Torres will be on loan from the Art Bridges Foundation and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, AK.
Artist Talk & Reception: February 12, 6 PM, Hollins University Visual Arts Center Room 119

Campfire Lane is an acoustic songwriter duo made up of Will Thorpe and Zach Thomas, born from shared songs, late nights, and the simple pull of honest music. What began as two voices crossing paths on familiar roads grew into a partnership rooted in harmony, reflection, and the healing power of words set to strings.

Through moments of change, struggle, and quiet grace, they found refuge in writing and singing what life was teaching them. Their singles, “Campfire Lane” and “Country Life,” mark the beginning of that journey — not as destinations, but as mile markers along the way.

Out of this bond comes a passion to share songs shaped by memory, faith, and everyday truth. Join Campfire Lane as they offer originals and select covers with stripped-down sound and heartfelt emotion, carrying forward the old tradition of letting music say what the heart cannot.
