Passion Works Studio

I had the chance to see firsthand how art can be used as a tool to foster social change. As part of my engagement, I cut up pieces used to make the petals of the famous "passion flower". The passion flower is the official flower of Athens, Ohio.
The material used to make the passion flower is upcycled. It was amazing to see that Passion Works is creating an inclusive community and is eco-friendly in the materials used to make art pieces.
During a visit to a local bank, I was excited to see the passion flower and several art pieces displayed in the lobby and on the walls. I was happy to see this local business support the work of incredible artists at Passion Works and that I, too, was contributing to something making meaningful change in the Athens community.

I’m back at my alma mater for the first time in 29 years, and I didn’t realize how emotional this trip would be. Great friends and memories made here in Athens, Ohio. I hope it’s not so long between visits again.

@ohiouniversity.bsky.social Baker Peace Conference is going to kick off in a few weeks and is sure to be memorable with the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. I’m excited to see so many experts speak on the postwar period!

Ohio has been a bastion of public higher ed since the land grant days over two centuries ago.

@ohiouniversity.bsky.social been a vital engine of public research, class mobility & civic pride.

All that's over now. Great faculty will be silenced, purged, or lured away, leaving only empty MAGA dogma.

Ohio bill bans DEI offices & positions, ‘taking positions on “controversial” topics…,strikes by full-time faculty,’ also establishes post-tenure review, & requires all syllabi with instructor’s qualifications & contact info to be published by colleges. www.highereddive.com/news/ohio-se...
