The Gallery of the Common Experience began in the spring 2006 semester under the theme “Courage.” The first exhibit, “Hamba Kamandi -- Walk Forward Well,” included the award-winning photographs of Susan Winters. Her photographs document both the liberation struggle from apartheid and the onset of AIDS in South Africa. This poignant show portrayed the Common Experience theme of Courage with strong yet beautiful photographs.
The gallery has since exhibited photos from the civil rights movement, artwork from the Sam Coronado Studio in Austin, a Day of the Dead Altar, as well as an exhibit of student art representing protest and dissent.
