Project collects written thoughts

Project collects written thoughts

Henderson State University’s Department of English, Foreign Languages and Philosophy will provide an opportunity for students and others to write their thoughts and concerns Oct. 31-Nov. 2 in the Garrison Center.

The event, entitled “Before I Die,” is part of a global art project that celebrates hope and love. It was started in New Orleans in 2011 by artist Candy Chang. The campus community and public is invited to write a brief comment in any language on a blackboard about what they hope to accomplish in life.

Dr. A. Margarita Peraza-Rugeley, assistant professor of Spanish, organized the event.

“It is a social experiment combined with an ongoing art installation that provides a place to share anonymously our natural concerns, as well as our hopes and love, in a written fashion and using the language that best suits us,” Peraza-Rugely said.
