UofL students and community poets have teamed up with fine arts students for text-and-image pieces that will be installed in some bus shelters, school systems and other exhibit spaces soon. The poets will read their work, and smaller versions of the public-art posters will be shown from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. April 3 in Ekstrom Library’s Chao Auditorium during a daylong humanities graduate student colloquium. The project stems from a UofL Ideas to Action grant, part of a university wide effort to foster critical thinking, student learning and community engagement.
