Students were challenged to create a temporary Public Art piece which focuses on an issue of loss. All projects will be installed from Dec. 5th—10th. Please scroll down to learn more about each project and it's location.

Please feel free to leave comments and feedback as creating dialogue is extremely beneficial to a public artist.

But most of all.....SUPPORT THE ARTIST BY EXPERIENCING IT IN PERSON.

Overton Park Map of lost histories


Overton park is not only home to our college, the zoo, the Brooks museum, the shell, and one of the few old growth forests in a city like Memphis, but is also the setting for history lost in time.  Histories and memories that have impacted the people who lived in, and have visited the park since before it was a park. 
The map of lost histories gives vigniettes of these stories lost, or obscured by time. the map also calls into question the objectivity and factuality of the history presented to us and our readiness to accept it. All in a fun filled pamphlet.

So come on down to the Overton park bullitin board near the playground next to rainbow lake and find your way around Overton and its lesser known history!
