Calling all artists! The BU Food Sustainability group, an internship for university students, is sponsoring a new environmental justice arts competition along with the Bundy Museum of History and Art. Environmental injustice can be seen throughout the Binghamton community and is often overlooked by government officials. This competition/exhibit’s goal is to raise awareness and educate the public on this current issue. The overarching question, “What does environmental injustice/justice in Binghamton mean to you?”, aims to not only inspire artists but also to inspire the Binghamton community at large to work for solutions. Go to our Instagram @bufoodsustainability for updates. We look forward to seeing your art!
