Checking In, Checking Out

Dr Cranston Ramirez-Knight joins us to talk about his latest exhibit "Finding Solace in a Time of Crisis". During times of great transitions, crisis of magnitude beyond our comprehension, we search for solace, a moment of quiet contemplation, in the end we seek stability. Nature is that calming force, it is tangible. If we can extract ourselves, but for a moment, we discover a world filled with multidimensional images of life, a limitless bounty of delicate wonders.

You can visit the exhibit in the Franklin Gallery on the third floor of the library.
