Journeys
A collection of personal narratives and prints
Exhibition Date: Fall 2024
Exploring stories of their physical, spiritual, and psychological journeys, students at Downtown Aurora Visual Arts (DAVA) shared their personal narratives through drypoint printmaking, maps, and written memories.
Each collage was paired with powerful student reflections on migration, separation, identity, and emotional states.
