You've Got Options: Typography, Poetry, Mental Health

Monday, November 13- Wednesday, December 13

The saying is, “If you need some place to be, you’ve got Options.” Options is a safe, welcoming space at Coleman Health Services.

In this show you can see an empathetic conversation about mental health and community through these poems and the students in Sanda Katila’s Typography II course.  The exhibit represents a deeply interdisciplinary project that connects graphic design, creative writing, and mental health conversation through community-engaged practices. This exhibit is installed in both the DI Gallery and MuseLab.
