If you walked into Oyuna Uranchimeg’s office at the University of St. Thomas’ emerging media department, you’d see a poster from the Beijing 2022 Olympics and two other tokens of Olympic memorabilia. It’s not something you’d likely think twice about. She’s not the only person to have sports-themed office decorations. What you won’t know—unless you’re told—is that Uranchimeg is herself a Paralympian. She competed in Wheelchair Curling for Team USA in 2022, and will do so again in the 2026 Games. But that hasn’t stopped her from working full-time for the university’s emerging media department as an administrative assistant. She’s the department’s problem solver. Pe…

It takes a few moments to see the spotted jaguar slinking through the dense, sun-dappled jungle scene projected onto a wall inside the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C. Soon after, the projection changes to a snowy forest where it takes even longer to notice one—no, two—human figures nestled among bushes and rocks, obscured by gravelly full-body suits and skin-concealing tactical gear. The hidden figures, animal and human, are quintessential examples of the subject of Camouflage: Designed to Deceive, the museum’s clever and surprisingly wide-ranging new exhibition.
