DECEMBER 6, 2021 – College students across the country faced unique challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those at the University of Texas- San Antonio turned their experiences into performance art in a project called “Defining Moments.” The college of Liberal and Fine Arts students showcased their stories to an audience of several hundred at the Buena Vista theater last month.
This event was quite a feat for the university, as it is the largest interdisciplinary project to date. The lineup unveiled a broad spectrum of disciplines — including art, architecture, creative writing, music, history and dance to express the hardships and challenges of COVID-19 from the students’ experiences.
