Penn State Greater Allegheny welcomed Pittsburgh-based artist, Ebtehal Badawi, who spoke to the campus community about her "Pittsburgh Builds Bridges” project. Badawi shared some of her other artwork with the campus community.
On September 8, faculty, staff, and students came together to make a unified piece of art that symbolizes unity across cultures and races. The artwork entitled "Pittsburgh Builds Bridges" will be displayed in the Student Community Center.
"My intention to paint this is to plant seeds of love, acceptance and building bridges in our hearts and in our kids hearts and in our heart" - Ebtehal Badawi
"The story behind the painting is amazing. This Indian princess came to my dream, and I was wondering which if I paint louts flower and I asked the Question which flower do I paint, and my daughter came to me the same day and told me her teacher told her to pick any story from school, and she picked this story. She told mummy it reminds me of your painting. So I got my answer, and it turns out the Indian princess is a real fairy-tale." - Ebtehal Badawi
"As we get the chance to know each other we know that we love the same thing and hate the same thing. We know that there is more to connect us then separate us and all these beautiful colors come out of us." - Ebtehal Badawi
Penn State President Eric J. Barron and Penn State Greater Allegheny Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer Jacqueline Edmondson were joined by University, local, county and state leaders for the Ostermayer Laboratory ribbon cutting on Sept. 9 on the Greater Allegheny campus.
