DESIRE LINESYale Schwarzman Center

Curation, Creative Producing
Nov. 2022


A projection exhibition that asked students to consider spaces across campus through the lens of desire lines and examine the ways in which those spaces might reflect their individual needs and experiences. The voices encountered in the resulting works in process revealed an acute, communal desire for connection, contemplation, and expression.
