NorthStar Visiting Scholar Sean Huang Uses Art and Design to Bring People Love and Comfort During COVID-19

Xiaoming(Sean) Huang is currently a NorthStar visiting scholars studying in the Department of Technology, Art and Design at BSU. He joins us from Nanning College for Vocational Technology, Nanning, China as a faculty of Interior Design for the academic year 2019-2020. Like all of us, since this March, he has been staying at home. While it is particularly difficult for someone who is here for the cultural exchange to end up cooped up inside, he kept busy. He is hosting a virtual exhibit called “Until We Meet Again” in the virtual Talley Gallery. The video above tracks his footprints here at BSU, while reminding us that though we might be feeling a painful sense of separation right now, better days will come, and we will be together once more, so keep loving, keep living, keep creating until we meet again.
