ADAPT

Through artwork, objects, video, and written material, Adapt reflects on perspectives of the Jackson community as it navigates the Covid-19 era. Artists were encouraged to respond to the theme, use found materials, and create during the Stay Home, Stay Safe Executive Order, March 24 – May 31, 2020.
