Backyard Bash: Understories
By nature, it’s difficult to recognize unconscious bias—the attitudes or stereotypes that affect our understandings, actions, and feelings about people and places based on characteristics alone. Emily Almloff visualizes the phenomenon of bias through different colored lenses framing views of the Grove and other student work. By prompting us to notice subtle shifts in color, Almloff challenges us to “see through our own biases to become more receptive towards listening to others who may have different perspectives.”
