To support local artists and designers during COVID-19, the Askwith Kenner Global Languages and Cultures Room created the Micro-Commissions project. We invited eight talented CMU students and local Pittsburgh artists to create artworks to be displayed within the room and on a new digital projection installation on the glass wall near the front of the room. Artists were inspired by our themes of language, culture, identity, and personal stories. Each artist had the freedom to choose any medium.
Throughout the series we invite you to comment and share the work in your feeds and channels, to help us to spread our message and help to introduce new people to our work. We’ll be using #KennerKreatives and #GlobalLanguages&CulturesRoom hashtags, so keep a look out for new work coming soon.
