Join us for a panel, and final exhibition concluding the Big Medium artist residency of Chelsea Hernandez.
Sparked by her own personal story of student loan debt, Chelsea Hernandez began the Untitled Student Loan Debt Project to break the stigma of student debt burdens. This multimedia project is a culmination of art installation, podcast, and documentary feature developed during her time at The LINE Residency over the past 6 weeks. An interactive project to unite borrowers around the struggle of debt, this first phase of the project is experimental and only a small portion of the larger project which will enter production in 2020.
3 – 4PM Panel
4 – 5PM Open Studio
Free entry and valet with RSVP.
