The 2020 Hindsight Project

Monday, December 21, 2020 - 13:11

This year has been more than any of us has bargained for, and we have collectively experienced many highs and lows. Introducing 2020 Hindsight, a creative space developed by Bronwyn Wada-Gill (SOM '22) and Megan Hansen (SOM '22) to reflect on the year 2020. They are currently seeking submissions of photos, essays, poetry, recordings, or other media from personal experiences this year.
