Art Bridges Cultures Through Algeria

Lawrence artists are turning up the love for Team Algeria, using creativity to build bridges across cultures. Angie Pickman gifted her delicate fox-and-moon cut paper piece to the Algerian ambassador, seeing it as a symbolic key to the city — the fox representing the team. Stan Herd went even bigger, installing a massive flag made of mulch and sand on campus, originally meant for the team to stand on — but respect for the flag’s sacredness changed the plan. Instead, a roaring crowd of Algerians and locals formed a human border around it, drumming and chanting under a tornado watch. The community’s gratitude culminated in a framed, signed photo gifted to Herd — a surreal moment proving art’s power to unite, celebrate, and create lasting human connection.
