VIEW FROM THE EDGE! is a variety show hosted by interdisciplinary artist Tunde Wey that confronts disparities across class, race, and geography. Featuring music, food, remarks by invited guests, and giveaways, this event addresses the age-old question: do those with less party more? Join us in Piper Auditorium to find out.
