The 20/20 Wavelength Project

This project, led by mixed-blood multidisciplinary artist Andy Moro, aimed to explore “What Matters Now” through community engagement, both online and in person. By involving virtual and geographical communities, it sought to uncover the values highlighted by the pandemic lockdowns.
