Art invites us to connect a sense of wonder and curiosity with our everyday experiences. And isn’t that what we long for, the opportunity to savor a feeling from our experiences with each other? These connections are vital for our practice of compassion.
In the annual show why i write, why i create, the expressive voices of artists and designers—sharing joys and worries, appreciations and frustrations—show how they cherish moments in their lives. Their stories are displayed on large banners along with images of their visual art and designs. In the 5th year retrospective (2015-2019), this collection of stories represents participants from more than 10 countries, working and middle class backgrounds, rural and urban, as well as first generation college students. The show was interrupted from 2020-2022 due to the Covid pandemic, and beginning in August 2022, will continue with a retrospective traveling show to sites in Boston and the Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Please join us and explore how artists, designers and mentors reflect on what is needed to bring forward every story for a thriving world.
