Location: Center for the Arts
Candy Chang created this interactive art project as a single installation to provide a place for herself and other to “share their personal aspirations in a public space.” Since the first wall was built in 2011, over sixty countries have created similar installations in over thirty languages. Inspired by these walls, UWL began collecting responses in February-- now on display in the Dialogue Space in the Center for the Arts. View the installation and add your own thoughts!
