Tech Park is excited to host the UConn Black Students Association’s 26th Anniversary Fashion Show: ODYSSEY on Saturday afternoon. The Spring Weekend event is sold out to a crowd of 300. According to BSA president Abby Katz, the show “showcases diversity within blackness and its various intersections with gender, art, and sense of place. It celebrates the role art has played in the growth of the black community, taking the audience on a creative and educational  journey, or odyssey, through time with art.”
