Unveiling Hidden Stories: Exploring Vulnerability in Urban Spaces

This final presentation by Jesse Case, Chris Bish, Sarah Thomas, and Nathan Mullis delves into the hidden stories, fears, and anxieties that shape urban life. Through art and graphic communication, we aim to challenge viewers to reconsider their perspectives on themselves and others in the city, fostering a shared understanding of vulnerabilities. Inspired by humanistic psychology and various sociological theories, the installation features intimate, immersive experiences designed to evoke discomfort and self-reflection, ultimately exploring how city living influences our psyche.
