Over the past year, the United States as a whole has been forced to reckon not just with a global pandemic, but with the historical and ongoing inequalities, inequities, and injustices faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) within the country. Whether in their hometowns across the country and globe, or back here on campus, SPS students have been actively engaging with these issues as well. Many have participated in marches, protests, community meetings, and courageous conversations with peers and parents. Some students have also turned to art as a way to express their feelings of anger, frustration, and sadness, as well as pride, empowerment, and joy. This exhibition is a collection of BIPOC student voices unleashing all these responses and more.
