Call + Response is an annual exhibit of collaborations between writers and visual artists, in which one calls and one responds. The result is a dynamic set of paired works of words and artistic media that resonate and speak to contemporary issues. The theme for Call & Response 2017 is INVISIBLE, in conversation with Artworks for Freedom’s campaign to raise awareness about human trafficking. The visual artists and writers of Call & Response will interpret the theme of INVISIBLE as it relates to victims of “invisible crimes” or unlawful actions that go unnoticed.

Join us for a conversation between the artists and writers participating in this year's Call + Response, moderated by current MFA student Jennifer Lillis. The panel will be followed by a walkthrough and reception in Fenwick Gallery beginning at 4:30 p.m. Refreshments are generously provided by Argo Tea Cafe.

Call + Response is a collaboration of the School of Art, the English Department’s MFA program in Creative Writing, and University Libraries presented in conjunction with the annual Fall for the Book festival.

This event is free and open to the public.
