The installations were created by students of the Fall 2022 semester “Topics in Studio Art: ‘Expanded Print Media’” course taught by Assistant Professor of Art Studio Amanda Maciuba. During the cultivation process, students worked with the Miller Worley Center for the Environment and the 2022-2023 Common Read “Braiding Sweetgrass” by Robin Wall Kimmerer to create printed installations in response to the Western Massachusetts environment, Maciuba shared.
