News From Meadows: Class Led By MacArthur Fellow Rick Lowe Explores Ebola Impact Through Art

Rick Lowe, a 2014 MacArthur Foundation Fellow and an adjunct instructor in Meadows School of the Arts, worked with students in the Art and Social Practice class this fall on a project in Vickery Meadow, one of Dallas’ most international neighborhoods. The project took an unexpected turn when the first case of Ebola in the United States was diagnosed in a patient visiting the neighborhood. The Meadows students refocused their eforts, joining forces with Tasby Middle School Principal Anthony Mays (shown in a hard hat in the photo above by Meadows student Sally Kim ’15) to use art in exploring the impact of Ebola on the community.
