Sheridan College will be hosting a multisensory exhibition titled “Tunnel of Oppression.” The exhibit opens Monday, February 20, and will run through Sunday, February 26, inside the Sheridan College Kooi Library. The public will be able to access the display Monday through Thursday from 9 am to noon, Friday from 8 am to 3:30 pm, Saturday from 9 am until noon and Sunday from 1 to 7:30 pm. “Tunnel of Oppression” is an interactive experience that allows participants to walk through a series of scenes that aim to educate and challenge them to think more deeply about issues of oppression.
The project is a collaborative effort by Sheridan College, TRIO College Success Program, Advocacy and Resource Center, Uprising, Sheridan Foster Parent Exchange, Sheridan County Public Health, Volunteers of America Northern Rockies, and Sheridan VA Medical Center. While a guest on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse program, Uprising Executive Director Terri Markham talked about how the Tunnel of Oppression came to fruition.
