20x20 Posters for Peace and the Hexagon Project in Kresge Gallery

Marywood University is currently featuring a collaborative and interactive exhibit, 20x20 Posters for Peace and the Hexagon Project, in the Kresge Gallery in the Insalaco Center for Studio Arts. The exhibit runs through October 30.

The peace posters were designed by international artists as part of the 20x20 Posters for Peace project, founded by Pouya Jahanshihi, associate professor at Oklahoma State University. He partnered with local artist Beth Burkhauser, founder and organizer of the Hexagon Project.

The 20 peace posters and numerous hexagons were displayed at the Artworks Gallery in Scranton for the month of September, and they are currently exhibited with peace-themed and hexagon designs by senior graphic design students in the Social Impact Design class, taught by Chris Medley, Associate Professor of Graphic Design and Printmaking.

Some hexagon maker events are planned throughout the month to add to the exhibit. On October 7, high school art students from Career Technology Center will make hexagons about peace. During Advocacy and Social Justice Day on October 23, the campus community will be invited to make their own peace hexagons and display them. There also is a table set up in the gallery for anyone to drop in and make a hexagon throughout the month.

The closing reception will take place on Tuesday, October 29, 4-5:30 p.m.
