“Thinking of all things, people and places in our world as cousins allows us to treat them as relatives. We may not always agree, or even like all of our cousins, but we know that we are related. With many of them, we feel a sense of community and comfort when we are with them.” – Dr. Margaux Simmons

The COUSINS art show is on display at The HUUB, a community campus in Orange, NJ. University of Orange is a people’s free school based on the belief that “the city is our university” and “everyone has something to teach and everyone has something to learn.” For sixteen years, UofO has been developing and practicing the skills essential for civic connection and collaboration to address the challenges we face together.
