High Noon will open a unique and daring exhibition by Cara Cole on July 6, 2018, on view until August 5. Illuminated Manuscript derives from all of which what Cole refers to as her Rape Narrative, a narrative sanctioned by the university after it was discovered she was being sexually assaulted and abused by her professor. Cole brilliantly and daringly reclaims the process of redaction and transforms her Rape Narrative into what she refers to as the Illuminated Manuscript.

“The redaction of official documents relating to my Rape Narrative have been systematically used during the university investigative process to render me powerless” notes Cole. “For a long time, my narrative was taken away from me and belongs to the university and the perpetrator. It was subject to public debate without my participation. I have reclaimed the power of redaction to tell my story, on my terms, for the first time through this exhibition”.
