How do we come together to know our community, understand the past, and shape the sound of our future? In the final show for two graduate students in Social Practice, join an interactive unfolding of these questions across disciplines and traditional boundaries. Chattanooga-native Ty Lackey invites active participation in his interactive sound exhibition that activates advanced technology while using non-traditional sounds for collaborative reclamation. Shawn Shafner hosts a series of interventions to help the Corcoran community visualize our interdependence, and rest in the strength of our interconnection.
