Working closely with students from a range of backgrounds, I gathered stories about visibility, marginalization, safety, and community. These conversations became the foundation for a series of portraits, installations, and public artworks presented on the university campus, bringing mariginalized students' experiences into shared campus spaces.
To Be Heard examined who feels seen, valued, and represented within institutional environments. The project created opportunities for students to reflect on their experiences while inviting the broader campus community into conversation by combining community engagement and public installation.
The project demonstrates an ongoing commitment within my practice to creating work that is rooted in listening, collaboration, and public dialogue.
