Art Exhibition
UMass Chan community invited to ponder meaning of ‘advancing together’ at art exhibit
On Wednesday, Sept. 18, members of the UMass Chan Medical School community gathered to celebrate diversity and mutual connections at the opening of the art exhibit, “Advancing Belonging Together,” curated through a partnership between the Committee on Equal Opportunity and Diversity (CEOD) Advocacy Subcommittee and the Lamar Soutter Library. The exhibit, presented to enhance and enrich the cultural environment for the Medical School community, features the work of seven artists who, through various art forms, convey what the theme means to them.
Jayna Mistry, SNAP program manager at ForHealth Consulting, submitted three fluid, abstract pieces. The pieces, “Unified Spectrum,” a rainbow of colors; “United Path,” a palette of shades of blue representative of UMass Chan colors; and “Harmony Mirrors,” a black and white piece, “all work together to convey our collective effort and progress,” Mistry said. She explained that the purpose of her pieces is to relate how “we all progress together irrelevant of who we are, where we come from and what our backgrounds are.”
