Gallery Purchase with funds raised during the 2018 Give Campus Campaign

In Wipe the Slate, Revelle claims solidarity with Iraqi academics by writing and rewriting the Brussels Tribunal’s appeal to help Iraq’s intellectuals. The Brussels Tribunal is a community of activists, intellectuals, and artists who organized a series of hearings to draw awareness to the systematic targeting of Iraq’s academics and intellectuals. The process of writing and erasure in this piece symbolize Revelle’s attempt to claim solidarity with Iraqi intellectuals and to draw attention to their erasure from society and history.
