Looking Back To Move Forward

September 19, 2025 - October 5, 2025

Free

“Looking Back To Move Forward” features the work of fifty three artists (thirty eight students, nine alumni, five faculty and one staff) who created work addressing both the devastation and the ongoing recovery – compelled to investigate, reflect, mourn and raise awareness of the many issues the storm revealed.

This exhibition is a collaboration between Art students, faculty, and alumni and faculty and students in Environmental Studies, Economics, and Biology, and is part of the Post-Helene Symposium that the university is hosting September 23 – 27, 2025. A panel discussion with several artists will be moderated by Susan Andrew of Riverlink, a local non-profit who was heavily involved in clean-up and restoration efforts.
