UMOCA Presents Spy Hop's Safe and Sound
PROJECTS GALLERY: JUN 9 - SEP 23
OPENING RECEPTION: JUN 9 | 7 - 9 PM
Salt Lake City, UT - The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art (UMOCA) is thrilled to present Spy Hop's 2017 exhibition, Safe and Sound.

According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, feeling safe comes second only to the necessities: water, food and air. It is crucial to our survival as human beings. When we feel safe, we are allowed to grow, connect and understand others better. 

Teens from around the globe took on the challenge of recording what their safety sounds like by creating short audio pieces that range from spoken word to ambient recordings. Safe and Sound is a collaboration with Spy Hop, Adobe's Project 1324 and UMOCA.
