Highlights from 2021-22
Symbolic artwork for Indigenous space
The Indigenous Design Collaborative in The Design School partnered with a local artist to make a 25-foot table that evokes the ancient canal system built by the Hohokam tribe. The symbolic artwork was created for the Labriola National American Indian Data Center at Hayden Library on the Tempe campus.
