Projects: River of Words at Franklin Pierce
In the fall of 2010, Franklin Pierce University students from several disciplines worked with Christine Destrempes in her second engagement as artist-in-residence. Together, they created a prototype for a monumental public-participation installation, River of Words Stream of Conscience. While learning about global water crises, students in the performing arts, literature, and film studies collaborated on an installation and evening of performance.
In cooperation with the Franklin Pierce University New England Center for Civic Life, Art for Water educated and brought a sense of activism to hundreds of students who took part in the project.
