"This word usually seems to have a huge negative connotation but, as everything in this life, it depends on how you want to look at it and, specially, what do you want to do to turn into a more positive perspective"-Carlota Munoz Ruiz

Created by the Visual Arts Management Class in Arts Management and Gallery Practices Class in School of Art, this represents the first virtual exhibition to take place for the gallery. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, people are suffering from illness, and experiencing pain, anxiety, loneliness, unknown and fear. Sanctuary: Growing Alongside Nature in an Uncertain World represents the mutual vulnerability, fragility, and resilience of nature and humans.
