Join us for this special double feature selected by members of Art and Resilience, an Ohio State student organization anchored at the Wex. Open to all Ohio State students, the group embraces the idea of “art for our sake,” exploring how the arts foster personal and collective well-being through creative expression, meaningful dialogue, and healthy social connection.

Ohio State students are invited to join the group’s January 28 meeting for a discussion of the films. Follow @osuartandresilience on Instagram for details.
