"The Optics of Science - Early Western Stereographs from the Dr. Martin J Bass and and Gail Silverman Bass collection" was an exhibit mounted by the students in the Film and Photography Preservation and Collections Management program. The Optics of Science presented late 19th and early 20th century stereographic cards and supplementary material from the Bass Collection, part of The Image Centre’s holdings. "The exhibition and accompanying publication focus on representations of Western science and related knowledge at a time of unprecedented and rapid industrial, social, and geographical change. Comprising medical, clinical, anthropological, astronomical, and spirit photographs, the selection highlights the technical and historical intricacies associated with looking at images often entangled with colonial legacies" (https://theimagecentre.ca/exhibition/optics-of-science) The exhibit ran September 14 - October 22, 2022.
