Resilience

Resilience was a major interdisciplinary climate change based 2016 exhibition that was designed to be additive. The concept began with the idea of including Plymouth State University students, faculty, and curriculum connecting art and environmental issues. Each member of the collaborative team brought ideas about including student learning, which resulted in a growing and evolving exhibition including graphic design projects, essays and mixed media projects, animation works, found paper collage works, a creative local environmental data collection project, and a central focus on Jason Mitchum’s work and process in “Head Full of Doubt” which inspired a major class project.

I am still so grateful for amazing PSU faculty collaborators on this project especially, Kimberly Ritchie, Pamela Anneser, Amy Villamagna, Brian Eisenhauer, and Steve Whitman, who were willing to spend the time for planning discussions as well as incorporating valuable class time devoted to this project in their Fall curricula.
