Through Our Eyes
A multimedia art installation by recent Oberlin High School graduate Tammy Hrinda and her younger brother David Hrinda. The exhibit––which includes photography, writing, and audio––arose out of Tammy's desire to address bullying and harassment at the high school, using the tools and lessons from her Street Law class.
Oberlin College senior Allison Swaim received a summer internship stipend to work with Oberlin Street Law. She worked with Tammy and other Street Law volunteers to put this exhibit together.
Sponsors: The Creativity & Leadership: Entrepreneurship at Oberlin Project, Oberlin Schools Endowment Fund, TIMARA Department, and the
Oberlin Student Philanthropy Club.
