In 2020 we are experiencing a pandemic, quarantine, major changes to how we learn, work and live, xenophobia, racial injustice, Black Lives Matter protests, political activism, #MeToo, controversy over monuments, climate change, uncertainty of the future, and more. In light of the challenges the world is facing today, creative responses form a crucial component of expression, activism and hope for the future. Reckoning includes digital media, text pieces, photography, drawing, painting, sculpture, video, mixed reality and sound.
Reckoning: Student Digital Mural
The mural — an ongoing student response project that will grow throughout the semester — consists of artwork, poetry, music and more from Stony Brook University‘s student body.
