The State of Sex Ed: A popup exhibit on sexual education in the United States
View the full project at aidanhudsonlapore.com.
This pop-up exhibit was designed to raise awareness about the state of sexual education in the United States. Effective sex ed empowers young adults to make decisions that safeguard both their personal well-being and the health of others. Many people on the comparatively liberal east coast receive comprehensive sexual education, and as a result are unaware of the prominence of abstinence-only curricula in a large part of the country.
Through interacting with the exhibit, viewers are encouraged to reflect on their own experiences in sex ed and challenged to compare their experience to that of many teens in the U.S. today. They are given a chance to weigh in on the issues and share their opinions with other visitors.
This exhibit was conceived, researched, designed, fabricated, and installed in a span of five weeks by a team of four students. We hope you learned something new!
