Description:
The Moss Arts Center at Virginia Tech presents an outdoor art exhibit titled "Illuminating Flight and Refuge" from on Thursday, November 12, 2020 to Sunday, November 15, 2020 from on various exterior surfaces of the Moss Arts Center building.

This collection of outdoor projection projects was created by teams of Virginia Tech faculty and students to bring the Moss Arts Center and its theme of “Flight and Refuge” to life. See these works, which blend technology, mapping, personal stories, and data, projected on various exterior surfaces of the Moss Arts Center building. The Moss invites audience and community members to examine their own lives and the maps we have yet to draw.

"Illuminating Flight and Refuge", presented by the Moss Arts Center and the Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology (ICAT), activates the Moss Arts Center’s 2020-2021 season theme, “Flight and Refuge.” This year, theatrical and musical projects, artists, and speakers address topics like war survival, chosen and forced migration, and geography that disregards national and colonial borders. The commonalities of migration and the distances traveled remind us that, during times of crisis, no matter who we are, refuge is an urgent human need.? And “flight” suggests both a means to escape and a soaring act of beauty.

Admission is free.

Those viewing the installation should observe university guidelines, wearing face coverings/masks and observing 6-foot physical distancing.

The event is weather permitting.

This work in supported in part by a gift from Jack and Linda Davis.
