This immersive video installation, Wayward Fragments, pieces together fragments of films, archival footage, and other moving images to honor the stories and spirits of “wayward” women. Often overlooked and moving outside of societal expectations, these women embody resilience, defiance, and freedom in their everyday acts of survival. Through shifting visuals, Wayward Fragments invites viewers to witness glimpses of lives lived on the edges, illuminating the bold presence and complexity of women who insist on living on their own terms.

The installation can be observed in the lobby near the entrance and will be up during the entire day.
