During the fall, I produced a body of work, titled ‘A Step Between’, which explored and unraveled disparities between neighborhoods and institutions in the St. Louis area. It examined the intention versus the impact of institutional presence in an urban landscape and portrayed some of my own frustrations with the circulation of information outside the bubble of academia. “A Step Between” aimed to bridge a gap, to collapse the realities of a city beyond a college campus into academic spaces, and to represent aspects of urban disparities I wish I would’ve been more aware of when I started my college experience.
