Can a single work of art build community?
The annual Shared Art Program brings together all incoming Oberlin College and Conservatory students by using a single artwork as the starting point for conversations about who we are and where we have come from. The Shared Art Committee selected this work for its ability to humanize Oberlin’s history and foster dialogues about class, race, and gender in the past and the present.
