End Day Unity Project (Multi-Day Event)

Created to raise consciousness about the labels we give ourselves and others, UNITY is a larger-than-life structure that helps us celebrate our uniqueness and strengthens our ties to each other. The project consists of 32 posts, each with identifiers such as, “I’m a parent”; or “I speak English as a second language” etc.  Participants will tie colorful yarn to posts that reflect their identities.

The project intends to highlight the beauty and diversity that is in each of us. It will take place in the Campus Center and will involve taking pictures of the Butte College Community and putting the pictures on big words cut out of stock paper that spell "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL ". It will result in a collage of all the participants. Please join in the making of this special installation.
