About the project

Exhibition
Art

The Change We Want: Youth Visions for a Just Future is created in collaboration with over 25 students at the University of Minnesota. The Change We Want features materials generated by students experiencing the impacts of COVID-19 and the Anti-Racist Uprisings of 2020. These materials include photography portfolios, zines, and oral histories, and explore themes of memorialization, sustenance, and justice.
