The Unveiling Of Us, Alexis Parra
The Unveiling Of Us, Alexis Parra
Senior Projects Spring 2018
The Unveiling of Us is an affirmation by, of and for wom^n of color. In this collaboration, we - subject and photographer - seek to reclaim the performance, production and beauty of individual identities that are informed by collective pasts.

What does the movement to add a MENA identifier to the census tell …

I Love You Three-Fifths, Brittany B. Tucker
I Love You Three-Fifths, Brittany B. Tucker
Senior Projects Spring 2018
Disparities in representation are gaps that can be filled. They’re also abundances that can be destroyed or dispersed. Misrepresentation is another useful tactic. In “I Love You Three-Fifths” I’m choosing to misrepresent the white body by caricaturing and simplifying it in order to address the relationship between American blackness and whiteness through portraiture. This “dis-representation” allows me to paint intimacy and interaction without committing to the Western ritual of rendering white bodies. Instantly, by rendering myself realistically, I become the primary subject. I am real while the white man is the joke of the painting. It’s a reversal of the …
