Colorful illustration of large white blimp floating in front of a colorful, layered urban scene with multiple parked cars, streetlights, and stacked buildings in shades of pink, orange, green, and gray. The style is geometric and abstract.

On Friday, January 17, Assistant Professor of Practice Kyriakos Kyriakou will introduce his exhibition created with Sofia Krimizi entitled, "Micropolitan America." This exhibition features a collection of student drawings that reflect on the current reality of the micro-urban clusters across the American hinterland and project, distort, or accelerate that reality into absurd yet familiar fantasies found within abstract futures. 

This event is free and open to the public.
