'Connecting our Past: The History and Culture of Boston-Thurmond' Exhibit
Through Dec. 13, MUSE Winston-Salem is hosting the exhibit “Connecting our Past: The History and Culture of Boston-Thurmond,”
featuring the work of UNCSA faculty member and historian Andrew G. Britt, alumna and 3D artist Sarah Loveland (BFA, ’23), and UNCSA students.
Working closely with community collaborators, this team conducted original research and produced a location-based augmented reality experience about the harms caused by the construction of University Parkway on Boston-Thurmond, one of the most significant neighborhoods to Black residents of Winston-Salem. The Center for Design Innovation’s Spatial Justice Studio, UNCSA’s Office of Teaching and Learning, Boston-Thurmond United and the North Carolina Humanities supported this project.
