Art Show

This year’s art exhibit will be in Watzek Library from November 12-30.

Curated by L&C students Rain Damon-Espinas ’28, Nadia Khazei ’27, and Isabella Mercado ’27

Curatorial Statement:

This year’s Ray Warren Symposium on Race and Ethnic Studies is pleased to present a multimedia art exhibit that explores the symposium’s theme of resistance. Art’s role as a revolutionary tool is twofold: its content and its creation. Western art traditions and institutions have historically excluded artists of color from prominent spaces and prevented them from being appreciated in the ways they deserve to be. By sharing their work, the artists featured in this exhibition push back on this historic exclusion. Their multimedia works, which include digital art, fabric sculpture, collage, and drawing, represent the fragmentary nature of racial and ethnic identity, as well as the revolutionary art of creation. We hope that visitors of this exhibit will be able to reflect on the stories that these pieces craft and understand the role that art has to play in engaging resistance movements.
