Before I Die
This interactive public art installation invites members of the Middlebury community to reflect on what matters most. By sharing personal hopes and aspirations on a communal wall, the project fosters connection, introspection, and a celebration of our shared humanity.

Proof of Life Multimedia Exhibit
This exhibit features the fieldwork and reflections of students in the winter term course: Acting Your Age: Meanings of Adulthood. Through images, sound and text, students will share personal reflections and highlights from readings. They will reveal traces of “adulting” norms found in college archives, and tell stories of growing, ageing and being alive shared by youth and elders in Addison County. They will explore how notions of childhood, adulthood and ageing are shaped by economic, political and social structures, and envision new possibilities for becoming “adult.”
