The Impact of Exchange: Stories from U.S. Exchange Alumni is a traveling, open-air photography exhibit that combines public art with storytelling. The exhibit is comprised of six large photo-vinyl cubes measuring six-feet-tall that feature the photography and stories of 38 U.S. citizen ExchangeAlumni of taken during their time abroad. By highlighting the photographs and stories of U.S. citizen Exchange Alumni, this exhibit aims to inspire audiences to become future exchange participants.
This public art exhibit is free and open to all. On September 1, we will be hosting a big community event from 12:30 to 3:30, featuring discussions with local exchange representatives, shaved ice from Pelican’s SnoBalls, and live music from Who Knew Entertainment. We are excited to announce that Sara Veldhuizen Stealy, Diplomat in Residence, will be present as well and available to talk! Our closing event on September 10 will be a public reading by Fall Writers in Residence from the International Writer’s Program.
