The emphasis of the FLUX excursion was change. Change in the landscape, city, and representation. We investigated the theme at two locations, Silver Eye Center for Photography and Carrie Furnace.

At Silver Eye, we viewed the exhibition Dandy Lion (Re)Articulating Black Masculine Identity. We took a tour of the Alloy Pittsburgh exhibition at Carrie Furnace and met with artists Rose Clancy, Liz Hammond, Sarika Goulatia, and Ricardo Robinson.

Each participant on the excursion was given a disposable camera to photograph their experience. We collected the cameras at the end of the day, processed the film, and awarded cash prizes for the top three photographs.
