“We just kept going.”
~ Louise Erdrich, The Round House
UO 2017-18 Common Reading Selection

Sparked by this closing statement from the challenging narrative of Louise Erdrich’s The Round House, students in the Fall 2017 AAD 199: Portable Life Museum First-Year Interest Group examined questions of power and identity, inclusion and belonging, sovereignty and nationhood, care and community.

Work throughout the term culminates in this exhibit, We Just Keep Going. Students designed specific creative responses to encapsulate what they learned throughout the term or want to activate in others to change the world in some way.
