Image Gallery

The machine gunning at Parkland High School in February 2018 left seventeen dead. Seventeen futures ended prematurely and avoidably. The National March 2018 March for Our Lives memorialized the dead and was a call to action that it never happens again. Pete Seager’s questioning refrains of “When will they ever learn? When will we ever learn?” echoed within me and remain unanswered. I downloaded photos and video from the net and then set them to Tommy Sand’s version of "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." ~Robert McMackin

About the Exhibition

Cambridge College is proud to host Violence Transformed for a 5th year with an exhibition of art that reflects on the story of immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers and displaced people worldwide and here in America.

This exhibition underscores the commitment of Cambridge College to promote awareness of the struggles and triumph of those we serve and to inspire action in support of those in need.
