WATER: A life-sustaining and increasingly rare substance
POLITICS: The science of influencing governmental policy
HOPE: Belief in a brighter future; the product of the exhibit Water/ Politics/ and Hope
Student designer Keenan J. D. Cummings (’08) calls Water/ Politics/ and Hope “an awareness exhibit,” and rightly so—each piece explores the complex relationship between humans and the world’s water supply. The exhibit, displayed in the HFAC during March, was created by a Special Projects in Graphic Design class, with the dual goal of informing viewers and cultivating a sense of social responsibility in designers.
