In an era where personal attacks and inflammatory positions have superseded dialogue and debate\, how do we seek to understand that which separates us and builds connections that increase empathy\, inclusivity\, knowledge and community strength? Civility—and the ability to reconcile our differences for the greater good—is at the very root of a democratic society. It spurs forward movement\, it moves us past our points of conflict\, it is what fuels progress. Ultimately\, it’s the only thing that ever has. \nArtwork will be on view in the following locations: \nLynn and Carl Goldstein Gallery\, Feldman Center\, Ninth Floor (faculty/staff work): November 14\, 2018–October 2019 \nGladys Marcus Library\, Fifth and Sixth floors (student work): November 19\, 2018–March 31\, 2019 \nGallery FIT\, The Museum at FIT (students/faculty/staff): November 19\, 2018–January 26\, 2019 URL:https://events.fitnyc.edu/event/exhibition-expressions-of-civility-closes/ LOCATION:Various locations on campus\, Fashion Institute of Technology\, 227 West 27th Street\, New York City\, NY\, 10001\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20191015 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20191016 DTSTAMP:20260405T091219 CREATED:20191021T185904Z LAST-MODIFIED:20191024T160002Z UID:10006864-1571097600-1571183999@events.fitnyc.edu SUMMARY:Exhibition: For Someone Who Looks Like Me — Opens DESCRIPTION:Untitled\, analog and cyanotype\, by Jasmine Garoosi.
