- Community NarrativesAlbright, Kathryn Clarke; Choudhury, Salahuddin (2018)Virginia Tech highly values its diverse community of faculty, staff and students. The Community Narratives Project is lead by Kathryn Albright, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor in the College of Architecture and Urban Studies (CAUS). The project grew organically with a small exhibit in the college highlighting the concept last year. Later, individuals within the Hokie Community inspired by this earlier exhibit had their portrait taken and added their stories. Working with Kathryn, photographer Sal Choudhury, Professor of Architecture in CAUS, created the photo-narratives on scheduled dates throughout the past year. The project concept is designed to spark conversations and create an ongoing dialogue in response to this question: Based on your lived experiences, what does diversity mean in your life? The photo-narratives highlight individuality. Participants decide how to showcase their identity, their culture, their own perspectives on diversity as they reflect on personal life experiences.

- Light Year 47: Tales of Diverted RealityDrum, Meredith (2019-03-07)LIGHT YEAR 47: TALES OF DIVERTED REALITY {MARCH 7, 2019} Curated by: Peter Fulop & Brigitta Veradi Participating Artists (all artists are former artists in residence of ChaNorth): Chen Wang, James Hopkins & Tori Carr, Meredith Drum, Jonathan Sims, and Marisa Adesman & Christian Berman Tales of Diverted Reality is a collection of short stories exploring perceptions of reality from ancient to contemporary, from the individual point of view. Tales can estrange the reader, in this case the viewer from the real world & allows him or her to deal with deep-rooted psychological problems and anxiety provoking incidents to achieve anatomy. Tales of Diverted Reality jumps between circling endlessly around a candy colored amusement park, the vastness of Las Vegas and the authenticity within its deception, consumer driven visual culture that dominates many commercial worlds created with 3D computer software, visual invocation of a spell formula from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, and a feminist re-adaptation of the Bluebeard fairytale.
- Micro-aggression Stories at Virginia TechAlbright, Kathryn Clarke; Iorio, Josh (2018-09)Micro-aggressions are everyday verbal and nonverbal slights, snubs or insults that have a negative long-term impact. Many individuals who experience micro-aggressions have learned to ignore them out of necessity, but their cumulative effect can lead to frustration, anger, conflict, isolation, and withdrawal. Over time, these effects can create a negative climate where faculty, staff, and students feel unwelcome and are unable to thrive. This exhibition includes a series of fictionalized stories based on narratives submitted by CAUS faculty, staff, and students about how microaggressions impact their daily lives. The stories include micro-aggressions focused on race, ethnicity, gender, age, mental health, and political affiliation. They include examples that result from explicit bias or from systematic discrimination and most stories include micro-aggressions that result from unconscious bias. Our intent with this project is for exhibition visitors to see themselves and their own experiences in the stories, which we hope will lead to awareness and open conversations. These conversations can be awkward and difficult; but very necessary. It’s opening a dialogue and having the courage to participate. It’s realizing what we say matters; and acknowledging what is said to us, affects us. This exhibition demonstrates that micro-aggressions are a shared experience for most people. Regardless of who you are, what you believe or where you’re from, you’ve probably been a micro-aggressor and have been micro-aggressed. This shared experience brings us all together, which is a good place to start the conversation.

- The Works on Water Residency and Project Space Summer 2019Drum, Meredith (2019-07-05)A meditation on the past and future of this city: here the Ancestral Sonoran Desert People constructed the largest Pre-Columbia irrigation system in North America, history obliterated by the colonial construction that became contemporary Phoenix. Now over 150 people die each summer from heat-related trauma, and with a record high of 122° F what happens at 129° - adaptation or abandonment?
