“Beyond Boundaries” discussion panel

This panel discussion delves into Beyond Boundaries, an art installation on display in the first floor of Wilson Library. Beyond Boundaries is co-created by students in Diane Willow’s course Art + Change: The Transformational Power of Art.

What distinguishes Beyond Boundaries is the time invested in researching and studying maps from the U of M’s John R. Borchert Map Library about the fact that the U of M campus lies on indigenous land. While working through the creative and artistic process, the artists also explored environmental versus man-made boundaries, and natural space versus human space. This panel session will give the audience a deeper understanding of the creative process and the resulting installation. - UMN libraries

Panelists: Sean Connaughty and Diane Willow from the U of M Department of Art, Ryan Mattke and Deborah Ultan from the University Libraries, and student artists Jacquelyn Fay, Bryce Mason, Ellen Schillace, Ty Schwantz, and Aimee Sutherland.
