Red Object Exchange

First conceived by our Artist in Residence Pedro Lasch, Red Object Exchange has become a favorite Usdan tradition.

On Thursday, August 7, we invite all Usdan students to bring in a red object from home to leave somewhere on campus, and take a red object that someone else has left at any time during the day. We ask that only those students who bring a red object take one, and only one, ensuring that everyone who participates can take an object home.

By the time students return home with their new red object, we will have created an immediate and massive exchange experiment that encompasses New York City, Long Island, and its surrounding areas.
