Student Curators Pranaya Raparla and Amisha Gopee

Spring 2025

Dibner Library's Spring 2025 exhibit “NYU Tandon's Wunsch Building: Telling A Lost Story” is curated by Pranaya Raparla ('25), a Biomolecular Science major at the Tandon School of Engineering. Pranaya's research covers the building's history, its origins as the African Wesleyan Methodist Episcopal Church, and its connection to Brooklyn's 19th century abolitionist movements. Since she encountered many archival silences in her research, Pranaya's exhibit also asks viewers to consider the histories that are evident and not-so-evident around them. Beyond recorded history, which histories does our city celebrate and make visible and which ones remain hidden?  Pranaya will deliver her research talk on February 26, 2025 at noon in the landmarked Wunsch Building.
