"Tension II is a piece that speaks from deep within me. In the transgender community, there is a term, Dysphoria, which in its Greek roots means “hard to bear.” Dysphoria describes the sense that you are in the wrong body, and the immense pain that comes along with that. I created Tension II in order to try and visualize this terrible sensation from my own experience; the figure is steel, her skin a rough, hammered, and rusty texture, unlike the smooth and soft surface that she desires. I have a feeling often when I put on an elegant dress or blouse, that the clothing is but an imperfect cover for the masculine figure within, and I aimed to capture that using the contrast of the traditionally effeminate bridal lace with the masculine roughly welded steel." - August Barringer

10. Waruguru Waithira; Orimwe Storytelling is an ancient art form rooted deep in African culture. With the use of musical instruments, masks and costumes, elders in the past edified younger generations on morals and history. After the introduction of Primary schools during the colonial era, the tradition of storytelling slowly came to an end. My art work takes a critical view, exploring the rich history of Kenya before and after the colonial administration by the British.

7. Civil Rights Restorative Justice (CRRJ) Project Exhibit The Civil Rights and Restorative Justice (CRRJ) Project, founded by Professor Margaret Burnham, addresses harms resulting from the massive breakdown in law enforcement during the civil rights movement, from the 1950s to the early 1970s. This was a time of great political protest and turmoil as African-Americans and their allies militantly rejected Jim Crow, second-class citizenship, and economic exploitation. The project engages teachers and students across Northeastern University and is directed by faculty from the School of Law and the College of Criminal Justice.
