Symbiosis: A Virtual Exhibition Featuring Nazareth College and Shandong University of Finance and Economics
This exhibition continues to build on the cross-continental and cross-cultural partnership between Nazareth College in Rochester, NY and Shandong University in Jinan, China. It features work from faculty members from both institutions working across various media, which provides a compelling display of works that invites viewers to experience a diversity of different cultural expressions of art. This exhibition highlights the important, mutually beneficial relationship and valued partnership between the two institutions and faculty cohorts, as well as serving as a bridge that opens students and other viewers’ minds to how art can create connections across cultural difference.
