Brosseau Center for Learning: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Access

The silhouette of a standing figure appears over an engraving depicting acts of cannibalism in South America. Colored shapes fill the space, a top spins, and a helix covers a watchful bird. These layered images coexist without any clear hierarchy, creating a non-linear sense of time. How does our knowledge of history and sense of time intersect with our relationship to space?
