Drive around the Fisk University campus this month and your eye might land on something unexpected â the historic Little Theatre has been draped in dusty fabric made from hundreds of worn-out jute and burlap sacks. The patchwork material completely covers the building, like itâs a house being fumigated, or maybe a wrapped art installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. In reality, itâs a little like both of those things â and itâs even more interesting that it looks.Â
