Art is fundamental to everyday life, and is essential in providing a medium of catharsis for both suffering and celebration. We strive to showcase works that prioritize inclusivity and diversity by uplifting marginalized voices, such as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and female communities. The 2020-2021 selections will offer opportunities for both conversation and education that cultivate threads of connection within the UMD community
