Our objective is to generate dialogues and build awareness, empathy and mutual understanding between diverse creative practitioners and serves as a platform and resource to bring people of disparate backgrounds together as a catalyst for sparking new ways of looking, making, and working.
We welcome proposals from Stamps and U-M faculty for innovative, experimental, interdisciplinary exhibitions, public programs (talks, workshops, performances, town halls), and publications that are at the intersections of art, design, science, technology, and history.
