In Transition Closing Event a great success!

Thanks to everyone who came, to all the AFY students who installed and shared work and to University of Florida and Georgia State University for sending work to be exhibited. We estimate that there were about 200 plus visitors in the space over the 10 days, and new friendships were formed. The students will continue to work on this project and padlet is still active. Visit In Transition Exhibition to see documentation of the event and visit AFY students work for a flavour of the diverse works on show.

First online sharing this afternoon

It was great to meet everyone today and thanks to those brave students who offered to speak .. it was a little chaotic as we tried to adjust to the acoustics of the gallery , but great to have a window into other places – to think about how we continue to work together – apart. The padlet is filling up with wonderful images, conversations and responses to place and places. A busy 2 days and exciting things to come!
