American Dream
Exhibition Overview
In conjunction with the KU 2016 Common Book, "Between the World and Me" by Ta-Nehisi Coates, this exhibition draws its inspiration from Coates’s explorations and indictments of the American Dream to further question associated beliefs, struggles, ideas, and representations. Arranged in three sections, the exhibition highlights the diversity within the United States and reimagines what the American Dream means and who may participate.
The exhibition is organized by first-year students in Dr. Ellen Cordero Raimond’s learning community “Life through a Lens,” First-Year Experience peer mentor Gabby Ale-Ebrahim, and Kassandra Valles, Spencer education and academic programs student assistant. Participating students are: Ronnie Bryant, Mariah Chemali, Erin Dellasega, Lori Fifield, Brad Harris, Jack Hatzfeld, Agustín Hayes, Grant Heiman, and Ian Thomas.
