Connections to Nature: Looking Inside, Going Outside, challenged participants to explore the natural world and their place in it through the lenses of generational knowledge, resilience, human health, and urban environments. Through the process of imagining, designing, and creating their pieces, students learned about the nature in their own backyards and reminded us of why it’s so important to protect the planet. View the insightful new collection of Visual Art, Film, Interactive & Multimedia, Performing Arts, Poetry & Spoken Word, and Creative Writing.
