Arts Politics Professor Karen Finley Leads 2022 Cohort in Creating "Seen & Unseen"

Tuesday, Nov 2, 2021

Led by Professor Karen Finley, the Arts Politics 2022 cohort created creative commemorations to the forgotten and unseen of Washington Square Park, working as artist-scholars to explore social justice.

Commemorations ranged from dance performances to drag engagement to prose and play reading. Browse the gallery below to see a glimpse of the impact the 2022 cohort has on park witnesses as well as one another.
