Scope and content
This small collection consists of items created for and given out to attendees of the 3-day event surrounding the opening of the April-September Cushing exhibit The Rider Call: Kristen Britain's Fantasy Work and Fan Response. The exhibit celebrated the 25th anniversary of the publication of Britain's first novel Green Rider. It showcased both Britain’s work (through her books, the manuscript materials in which the texts evolved from idea to completion, and the beautiful art that illustrates it) and examples of fanworks created by many Green Rider fans, ranging from music to art to costumes to objects.
During April 5-7, 2024, Cushing hosted the exhibit's opening event that included a lecture, reading, and signing from Britain, as well as panels relating to her and work, cosplaying, and a trivia contest. The materials in this collection were given out or used during the events.
Small Collection.
Also included are two fanmade full-length costumes that were donated/loaned for the exhibit: one of Captain Laren Mapstone (made by Kimberly White), and Karigan G'ladheon as the avatar of Westrion, the god of death (made by Megan Notman); and a large cardboard cutout of Karigan, signed by Britain at the exhibit's opening in April 2024.
