The Impossible Question.
Milwaukee Handicraft Monday: Caption This!
The title for this photograph is simply âWoman dying fabric, Milwaukee Handicraft Projectâ in the  Wisconsin Arts Projects of the WPA digital collection. We think our viewers might have some better ideas on how to title or caption this photograph. Tell us your ideas by commenting below!Â
(No Contest this time around, I think we could all use a âwinâ this spring)
The photograph was digitized from the original lantern slide, which is part of the Elsa Emile Ulbricht Papers, 1905-1978 held by the @uwmarchives. And, make sure you take a look at our other Milwaukee Handicraft Project posts!
-Katie, Special Collections Graduate Intern
The MHP was founded in 1935 by Harriet Clinton, head of the Womenâs Division of Wisconsinâs WPA to help unskilled women laborers provide income for their families. Clinton hired Elsa Ulbricht, an art professor at the Milwaukee State Teacherâs College (one of UWMâs predecessor institutions), to direct the project. The MHP hired around 5,000 people in total throughout its highly successful seven-year existence. Read More about the Project.
The Wisconsin Arts Projects of the WPA digital collection was made possible with generous financial support from The Chipstone Foundation.

Happy trans day of visibility to everyone celebrating, i hope you all have a great day today even in the hard times we are going through right now. You deserve to be celebrated and recognize and be the light that burns through out the darkness, and make sure to be good to yourself
Today, the Notorious RBG turns 87. We honor her legacy and want her around much longer. If you want to protect her and all of our elders, stay at home as much as you can, and when you canât, maintain strict handwashing and a 6-foot distance. Initial indications show you can spread COVID-19 even without having symptoms. Whether or not you consider yourself high risk, RBG is one of the many people we love in our community who unquestionably is. Do it for her! https://www.instagram.com/p/B9whXdlA82F/?igshid=1n8fm0pbnq2x4
From our gallery label:
These objects were once part of the folk art collection of Elie Nadelman (1882-1946), the avant-garde sculptor. From 1924 to 1934, Nadelmanâs collection was displayed in his Museum of Folk Arts, located in the Riverdale section of the Bronx. The Historical Society purchased Nadelmanâs entire collection in 1937.
Portraying mostly women and children as they perform domestic tasks (sewing, cooking, harvesting, or teaching/learning) and leisure activities (reading, writing letters, painting, or playing music), these richly decorated, hand-painted paper dolls present a broad view of mid-nineteenth-century daily life.
The mass commercial appeal of paper dolls arose around 1850 when these dolls began to appear in popular periodicals; however, homemade, hand-painted dolls had been circulating long beforehand. These dolls belong to a larger set of 85 figures, which were crafted around 1855 for a young girl in the Canadian town of Drummondville outside Quebec City, as indicated by an inscription on the reverse of one doll in the set and by a November 1924 article in Harperâs Magazine featuring a descendent of the original owner, Ms. Lenox E. Chase. While it is unclear who painted these dolls, and while they may have been produced over an extended period of time given variations in the stock and coloration of the paper, all of the dolls seem to have been crafted by the same artist and each one includes its own unique name, written on the verso by the same hand each time. Genealogical records suggest that the dolls originally belonged to the Sutherland family, a Canadian family of British descent who had arrived in the English-Canadian town of Drummondville by the 1840âs, and the dolls eventually would have been passed down to Ms. Chase, from whom Elie Nadelman likely acquired the set for his Museum of Folk and Peasant Arts.
All objects: Paper doll, ca.1855, Unidentified maker. Watercolor and graphite on paper laid on card, cut out around contour of figure, Purchased from Elie Nadelman, 1937.Â
Museum object numbers, from top: 2013.17.13; 2013.17.10; 2013.17.22; INV.10267jj; INV.10267aa; INV.10267t; 1937.1794m.
I think that queer readers have trouble escaping into a world that doesnât include queer characters, because we know that we wouldnât be welcome there. In fact, SFF that create worlds without queer characters seem to suggest that we wouldnât even be able to exist there: our existence is not conceivable in the context we are given. When we read a story that doesnât include queer people, a world that doesnât include queer characters, it comes with the nagging message You donât belong here. Whether itâs a horrific dystopia or a silly space romp, that implication makes it difficult to âescapeâ, because the truth is, weâre already all too familiar with that sentiment.

Weâre feeling extra thankful for our health care providers these days. Army Nurse Diane Kay Corcoran working in an operating room at the 24th Evacuation Hospital in Long Binh, Vietnam, ca. 1970. http://libcdm1.uncg.edu/cdm/singleitem/collection/WVHP/id/3817/rec/293
This spring was supposed to be an exciting time for Xander Christou. Heâs a senior in high school in Austin, Texas, and was looking forward to all the fun: prom, senior skip day and of course, graduation.
But all thatâs now out the window. âThereâs a sense that itâs incomplete,â says Christou. The school district has closed until April 3rd and Christou says he has this feeling that a unique chapter in his life â senior year â is slipping away. âTheyâre just parts that we may never get to experience.â One big disruption: any attempt at making plans for next year. âWeâre in the midst of college decisions,â he says, and the coronavirus has âreally thrown a wrench into a number of things.â
Christou spent most of last fall like many high school seniors: researching and applying to schools. He planned to spend the spring visiting some of the campuses he was accepted to. âOnline, the colleges are just names and logos and programs,â he says, ânothing will compare to actually being on campus and speaking face-to-face with current students.â
