  • A "Dig Day" Instagram post that depicts a collage of community digitizing artifacts and people
  • Headshot of Lynn smiling on a white background. Lynn is wearing a black and copper patterned shirt. Her hair is colored blonde.
  • A poster of a student’s project called “The Flavors of Harlem.” The poster has an axonometric with vibrant pastel colors: pink, blue, and green. There is an exploded axonometric of a wheelchair on the bottom right of the poster.
  • Painting and/or drawing of a man looking to his right and sitting on a single person sofa. The ground is a parquet wood tile floor, the wall is graphite colored, and there is a wood bookshelf full of books.
  • Headshot of Sabine smiling. She is wearing big bold beige glasses, bright red lipstick, and a vibrant pastel colored dress with blues, yellows, teal, and creme. Her hair is braided, colored brunette, and is tied neatly in a bun on the top of her head
  • Glenn standing in front of a doorway holding a mic. He is wearing glasses and a suit with a tie. He is in the middle of saying something and his left hand is gesturing and suggestive.
  • Reinaldo standing behind the counter inside El Barrio Music Center. In the background is a wall full of CDs with vibrant CD covers. He has short hair and is wearing a navy blue sweater.
  • The cover of the “Exchange as Spatial Practice” Advance Summer 2024 Studio for the Spitzer School of Architecture.
