According to Gary Carpenter, lecturer in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/ias\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">School of Interdisciplinary Arts &amp; Sciences<\/a>, the arts are often thought of as entertainment or as merely decorative when, in reality, they can help form our individual and community identities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The arts also can influence how we navigate basic decisions as well as the most complex issues of our times. Indeed, the arts are foundational to most grassroots efforts to create social change, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn many arts courses, it\u2019s not the technique or specific skills students learn that are important but how students leverage the arts in general into their personal and professional lives,\u201d Carpenter said. \u201cThe arts enable us to navigate new ideas or old ideas in new ways\u202fand find common ground \u2014 and their transformational abilities are needed more today than ever.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A project with a purpose<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Students in Carpenter\u2019s \u201cWhat if Something Wonderful Happens? The Powerful Potential of the Arts\u201d course gathered into small groups to select social issues that mattered to them and then create related art projects on campus. With specific social-change outcomes in mind, they learned the ins and outs of project design, from initial conception to the more practical aspects of implementation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dylan Brand, Raj Dhoot, Logan Gray and Katelyn Revilla centered their project around the topic of homelessness. \u201cWe see homeless people on our way to school and just driving around in general,\u201d said Brand, a sophomore majoring in Business. \u201cIt has become a real concern, with more than half a million people living without a home in the United States alone.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand explained that knowing just how many people are suffering is not only a source of anxiety for him and his classmates but also a space of deep sadness. \u201cSometimes people will stop to give them money out of pity,\u201d he said, \u201cbut rarely do people stop and take the time to get to know them or hear their story. I feel like that lack of interaction is really dehumanizing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe thought this topic would be great to examine from the perspective of \u2018what if something wonderful happens\u2019 because there is so much struggle and grief in homelessness that we tend to shy away from thinking about it at all.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand said that the design project he and his teammates created was meant to inspire awareness and concern in fellow students and perhaps, as a result, even make a difference for those who are homeless.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe hope that our art installation can bring a little bit of something wonderful to the homeless population \u2014 even if it\u2019s just a smile or a meaningful conversation from a stranger \u2014 because they are people, just like you and me, and are deserving of respect.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><p>We hope that our art installation can bring a little bit of something wonderful to the homeless population &mdash; even if it&rsquo;s just a smile or a meaningful conversation from a stranger.<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewbox=\"0 0 31.93 23.66\" width=\"34\" style=\"transform:rotate(180deg);transform-origin:center\">\n  <path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M19.94 23.655h11.988V12.578h-6.6a6.63 6.63 0 0 1 .662-3.486 8.55 8.55 0 0 1 5.721-4.722V.001a14.8 14.8 0 0 0-8.687 4.768q-3.089 3.606-3.089 9.994v8.893Zm-19.938 0H11.99V12.578h-6.6a7.5 7.5 0 0 1 .631-3.575q1.47-3.277 5.763-4.633V.001a14.54 14.54 0 0 0-8.771 4.788c-2 2.427-3.008 5.781-3.008 9.974Z\"><\/path>\n<\/svg><\/p>\n<cite> Dylan Brand, sophomore, Business<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Preparation behind the piece<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The students spent the first part of the winter quarter class researching their chosen topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was important for us to understand the issue on a deep level if we were to portray it accurately,\u201d said Revilla, a first-year student. \u201cI\u2019m glad we did because we learned a lot. At the beginning, for example, we thought we would be able to describe an average day of a homeless person, but after our research we realized that there is no \u2018average day\u2019 nor is there an \u2018average homeless person.\u2019 The experiences of a single white male are profoundly different from those of a female, or a single mother, or a veteran.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand added, \u201cWe were also surprised to learn that many homeless people have jobs. Different studies show different figures, but one survey in California found that about 13% of the homeless population in that state works full time. They just don\u2019t earn enough to afford rent.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students wrote about these newfound realizations in a report that detailed the struggles homeless people face daily \u2014 including difficulties finding a meal or shelter, the dangers of living on the streets, the stigma, and the lack of sanitation and health care services.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOnly after this was complete,\u201d Revilla said, \u201cdid we finally feel ready to embark on our installation, The Compassion Project.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Two people hold up a sign.\" class=\"wp-image-30485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dylan Brand and Raj Dhoot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An exercise in empathy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The group chose to depict the issues of homelessness using a car loaded with the bare necessities people need in a home, an all-too familiar sight on some side streets and even along highways in the greater Seattle area. They parked the car on the campus Plaza, leaving the doors, windows and trunk open so passers-by could easily see the water bottles, blankets, clothes and minimal personal care items that were scattered inside.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted people to be confronted with a reality that was outside of their own and to interact with that reality, too,\u201d Revilla said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other students, staff and faculty were encouraged to stop, sit inside and immerse themselves in the vehicle. \u201cWe asked people to look, smell and touch,\u201d said Gray, a junior majoring in Geology. \u201cWe wanted them to feel, for the time that they were inside the car, that this was their home and the sum of all their belongings.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students on the project team then asked participants to write somewhere on the car (with car-safe window chalk) one item that they did not see in the car but that they live with every day.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe got this idea after learning about artist Candy Chang in class,\u201d said Dhoot, a first-year student planning to major in Mechanical Engineering. \u201cHer practice includes installations that collect thousands of handwritten reflections from the public. We were really inspired by that, so we created this exercise to call out the things we take for granted \u2014 the little luxuries we live with that we forget to be appreciative of.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the responses were cable outlets, Wi-Fi, running water, a microwave, refrigerator, a mattress and television. \u201cReading what people wrote was a big reminder of just how fortunate I am, as I have access to all of those things,\u201d Brand said. \u201cI not only live in a house, but I am in college and am lucky enough to have my parents supporting me financially while I obtain my degree. Because of that I get to plan my future, instead of worry about my present \u2014 and that is a gift not everyone has.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Writing on a car window reading: &quot;Friends,&quot; &quot;Shirts,&quot; &quot;Automatic transmission&quot; and &quot;Blankets.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-30487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car3.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Art to create action<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The gaps in equity and privilege between themselves and unsheltered people became increasingly clear to the students as they worked on this research and art project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe had a lot of meaningful conversations with people,\u201d Revilla said. \u201cSometimes we discussed the topic at large, and other times people shared their very personal experiences, such as coming close to being homeless themselves.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt just goes to show that you never know what people are struggling with. The person sitting next to you in class could be living out of a car. You might not be able to make their situation better, but you can always do your best to make their day better by being kind.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The students said they hoped their art installation would not only cultivate empathy but also inspire action. To that end, they created and distributed a flier with information about local services and resources for the homeless population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCaring about the homeless in our community is a great start,\u201d Revilla said, \u201cbut it\u2019s not enough. We need people to turn their compassion into action and get involved. We gave everyone that flier, and we hope that a majority will take the time to read it and learn more about how they can make a difference.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think that\u2019s what the heart of our project is about \u2014 having empathy for others and showing up for community.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"A car with the word &quot;family&quot; written on the window.\" class=\"wp-image-30489\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.uwb.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2024\/03\/Compassion-Car4.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Impacted and involved<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When the students first started the project, they had set out to make an impact on the campus community and get people involved in ending homelessness.
