Student Voices of Adams County
A “multi-vocal” artwork created by Adams County students and artist Mollie Hosmer-Dillard
From November 2023 – May 2024, artist Mollie Hosmer-Dillard led workshops at six different schools across Adams County. These workshops served as opportunities for students to express their concerns, excitement, and hopes for their futures. From these discussions, the students and Hosmer-Dillard created a large-scale “multi-vocal” painting, an art piece incorporating the perspectives of many different people using hand-painted tiles.
Student concerns about war, homelessness, climate change, and mental health rose to the top of these discussions. Realizing how interconnected these issues were on a personal, local, and global scale, students chose seed-shaped tiles as a symbol of home, shelter, and a place to grow. The image of a seed also speaks to a dichotomous core and outer shell, representing how the personal and global are interconnected. | ||||||
