The exhibition features photographs of students and their tattoos by visual artist Z. Koppisch. The photos are from “Stories on the Skin: Tattoo Culture at FAU,” a long-term creative collaboration between the Arthur and Mata Jaffe Center for Book Arts at FAU’s Wimberly Library and Karen Leader, Ph.D., of FAU’s Department of Visual Arts and Art History. Koppisch, an FAU alumna, is a photographer and senior designer at the Wimberly Library. Students from the Jupiter campus are invited to add their ink to the archive by being photographed and/or videotaped at the reception.
