"Exploring Queer Realities ..." was my penultimate exhibition during my time as Director of the Stevenson Union Gallery. My goal was to create a platform for LGBTQ+ students who weren't necessarily embroiled within the rigors of the art majors at SOU, but who demonstrated talent and a powerful voice nonetheless. The exhibition featured works from students of many queer identities, and I wanted the flyer to be a reflection of our contemporary Pride movement, as well as a call-back to the underground zines that knit communities together during times of turmoil.
"Recumbency" was my first attempt at an art show that tried to deviate itself from the expectations of galleries around campus; my goal was to pair it with a second show later in the year strictly featuring three-dimensional art. I wanted to push students to examine the nature of art in a two-dimensional form.
"Tunnel of Oppression" was a conceptual event to be held in the Gallery, with the collaborative efforts of several identity-based resource centers. This engaging piece was to be a collection of work that speaks on inequality both on campus's and within many persons lives, drawing the viewers attention to the sometimes dire lived experiences others have faced.
