Celebrating frontline workers in housing and food insecurity through art at UMD
Too often, the frontline workers in housing and food insecurity go unnoticed in our region. Some of my students (and students of Adam Pine) interviewed some of these unsung heroes. Then, local artists Nelle Rhicard and Maryam Khaleghi Yazdi turned their insights into art — transformed, really, their insights into art.
Nelle Rhicard’s work (above) profiles real-life workers.
Maryam Khaleghi Yazdi’s art (below) is visible on the UMD campus, and if you are free this summer, I would encourage you to drop by and take a look. It’s creative, inspiring, and worth your time while the parking is easy.
