Please join Ucross for the exhibition opening of “Tearjerker: Brokeback Mountain” by Ucross Fellow Natalie Woodlock on Thursday, October 2. starting at 5 p.m. in the Raymond Plank Center in Ucross, Wyoming.

For this exhibition, “Tearjerker: Brokeback Mountain,” Woodlock showed a series of screenings of Ang Lee's 2005 film “Brokeback Mountain,” adapted from the 1997 short story by Ucross Fellow — and Pulitzer Prize winner — Annie Proulx. During the film, audience members were given handkerchiefs for their tears and asked to write down the scenes that made them cry. This exhibition merges screen-printed illustrations of these scenes and the handkerchiefs embroidered with the names of those brought to tears by this film that tells stories about love, repression, money, and mortality.

The exhibition opening will include an artist talk and a screening of “Brokeback Mountain,” accompanied by the Ucross chef’s artisanal popcorn. This is a free event that is open to the public with required registration. For more information and free tickets, visit ucross.org.
