Field Trip: Grad Students visit Japan for the 2019 Setouchi Triennale
“It was so rewarding to be able to experiment, create work, and collaborate with other brilliant and talented grad students in Japan. It allowed me to be pushed out of my comfort zone, and I’m thankful for the experience I was able to have.” – Billie Carter-Rankin
