What Matters Most
In Spring 2022, over 100 people were asked: What Matters Most?
The contributors were asked to discuss these issues, and then to select works of art from Lehigh’s collection that help us think more deeply about them. Rather than being illustrations of specific issues, or even the central topic of concern to the artist, these selections are meant to expand, explore, and connect our ideas about what matters most.
Scott Burden, Director of the Pride Center at Lehigh University, discusses social justice and equity.
This selection of works is included in the larger exhibition What Matters Most on display from August 24, 2022 - May 27, 2023 in multiple campus galleries and along the South Bethlehem Greenway.
