Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” was one of the most influential works of the American Revolution. The first edition was published on January 10, 1776, with an initial print run of just 1,000 copies; but within weeks demand soared. The students of Andy Murphy’s POLISCI 495 course co-curated the exhibition “Revolutionary Paine” to document the whirlwind caused by its publication. On view at the Clements January 16-May 8, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Germane Barnes is a Chicago-born, Miami-based licensed architect, designer, and founding principal of Studio Barnes, a research-driven design practice that interrogates the intersections of architecture and identity. Through Studio Barnes, Barnes examines architecture’s social and political agency, blending rigorous historical research with speculative design to explore how the built environment shapes—and is shaped by—culture, race, and community. In addition to his professional practice, Barnes serves as an Associate Professor and Director of the Master of Architecture Graduate Programs at the University of Miami School of Architecture, where he mentors emerging designers and fosters critical discourse around architecture’s cultural and societal impact.
