Inspired by the powerful art of German printmaker Käthe Kollwitz, The UConn Grief Project brings together reflections on loss, and creates a space for acknowledging the emotional impacts of this moment in history.

The zine features UConn students’ responses to the challenges we have faced, both as individuals and as a community, over the past year. Submissions juried by UConn’s Art & Art History Club, Poetic Release, and UCCOx. Zine designed by Design Center and published by Counterproof Press. Copies available in the museum and online.

The museum galleries will be open until 7:00pm today in celebration of the 2021 Studio Art + Digital Media & Design Master of Fine Arts Thesis Exhibition.
