Krautsourcing: socially engaged art

(02/04/20 11:00am)

Art can be found in anything and everything. S.E. (Sean) Nash, a Kansas City-based artist, created an exhibition at the Women’s Studies Research Center called “Krautsourcing” to investigate the transcendental art of fermentation: a metabolic process during which enzymes produce chemical changes in organic substances.

Why? The Brandeis Japanese Student Association threw its annual Oshogatsu (Japanese New Year) celebration.
