El Cuerpo Armónico (The Body Harmonic), Luis Emilio Romero
El Cuerpo Armónico (The Body Harmonic), Luis Emilio Romero
Theses and Dissertations
L R’s process-oriented oil paintings explore tactility within harmonious and complex structures rooted in Guatemalan and Mesoamerican weaving techniques. Employing comprehensive rituals and mindfulness through an array of delicate linearity, his works reference his ancestry through a focus on progressing color, form, and space into a liminal, light-based aura.
Emotional Landscapes, Jin Young Jeong
Emotional Landscapes, Jin Young Jeong
Theses and Dissertations
“Emotional Landscape” delivers a sense of gravity, openness, and breathing space through oil paintings on linen of abstracted bodily forms. The imagery in the works generates an atmosphere where one can feel rooted and anxiety-free. The paintings invite a close read of the complexities of compounded affects.
Bloody Show, Leonie Weber
Bloody Show, Leonie Weber
Theses and Dissertations

Subject To Change, Shauna Steinbach
Subject To Change, Shauna Steinbach
Theses and Dissertations
Making visible what is often unseen, muted, or ignored, Shauna Steinbach discusses the unscientific models that make up their sculpture and installation practice. Steinbach’s work explores philosophical thoughts and inquiries surrounding imprints, impermanence, and interdependence. The deaths are small until they are big.

Nyfw Can't Handle Texture On The Runway, Yvette M. Brown, Treashure Lewis
Capstones
During NYFW, a model went viral after exposing the fact that the stylist did not understand how to style her hair. This is very common in the fashion world, where there are no proper hairstylists to care for natural curls and coils.

Nyfw Can't Handle Texture On The Runway, Treashure Lewis
Capstones
NYFW has seemingly made great strides over the years regarding inclusivity and diversity within its runway. But how are they accommodating the models of color that they are hiring? This year, unfortunately, black models are still showing up to runway sets in which the hair stylists hired do not know how to do their hair. This issue dates back to the reign of Naomi Campbell and still has yet to be resolved.

What An Interesting Video To Put On The Internet (An Amusing Economic Indicator), Dahlia S. Bloomstone
Theses and Dissertations
My exhibition reconciles representations of domesticity, labor, and morality through the lens of sex-work (SW). It consists of video work, a video game, and free-to-take objects, where donation, the strip club, and the fish tank converge. My work concludes that SW is a timeless construct that will always exist even after reimagining multiple worlds.
The Bronx Solidifies Itself In The Fashion World With Borough-Based Nonprofit, Nicholas R. Hernandez, Demetria Osei-Tutu
The Bronx Solidifies Itself In The Fashion World With Borough-Based Nonprofit, Nicholas R. Hernandez, Demetria Osei-Tutu

Bronx-born nonprofit organizer, Flora Montes, founded Bronx Fashion NYC in 2014. The organization aims to establish Bronx-centric fashion-event opportunities and better representation in an industry where access is often unattainable for people of color or of limited means—or who happen to come from the Bronx, a borough often perceived by some as un-chic despite boasting a culturally thriving history of innovation in both fashion and music.
With Bronx Fashion NYC, Montes is working on putting Bronx models and local designers on the map with multiple fashion shows and paving the way for the future with the addition of a start-up …

Rupturismes: Art Sonor A Mallorca, Un Poc De Context, Antoni Pizà
Rupturismes: Art Sonor A Mallorca, Un Poc De Context, Antoni Pizà
Publications and Research
Antoni Caimari (1943-2021), com sap tothom, no era un músic com els altres; i tampoc no ho volia ser. Encapçalava els títols de les seves obres musicals amb les inicials EB o «esbós» (com altres compositors les inicien amb Op.) per donar una idea que no tenien res a veure amb les composicions tancades i immanents dels mestres del passat. Aquests EBs no tenien partitura perquè, com va dir Llorenç Barber, un altre compositor donat als aforismes, estaven alliberats de la tirania de la «partiturocràcia».

Fragmentation And Fabulation: Reflexivity And The New Black Documentary, Joanna Lehan
Fragmentation And Fabulation: Reflexivity And The New Black Documentary, Joanna Lehan
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This thesis concerns the photographic representation of Black bodies in new, reflexive documentary forms that have been increasingly produced and exhibited in the midst of America’s renewed discourse on race. Approaching this argument categorically, focused on the themes of fabulation and fragmentation, my task here is to uncover the gaps and overlaps between earlier critiques of the documentary image and more recent discourse on photography and race by exploring the specific methods through which select recent documentary projects embed and expand these critiques.
Fragmentation is a category of production I use to frame a movement of Black photographic artists …
How Marlon T. Riggs Queered The Documentary Form, Anthony M. Sweeney
How Marlon T. Riggs Queered The Documentary Form, Anthony M. Sweeney
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Marlon T. Riggs’s documentary films and their paratextual elements are rooted in his intersectional identities as a Black and gay man. His activist goal of Black gay liberation was based on what he saw as deeply engrained internal and external racist and homophobic societal structures that subjugated Black queers. In this thesis, I place research from Black cultural studies, gender and sexuality studies, and film studies in conversation with one another to show how Riggs’s filmography is an example of queer form. In doing so, I attempt to redefine the focus of the scholarship on Riggs from an avant-garde filmmaker …
Pop/Art: The Birth Of Underground Music And The British Art School, 1960–1980, Andrew Cappetta
Pop/Art: The Birth Of Underground Music And The British Art School, 1960–1980, Andrew Cappetta
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
“Pop/Art: The Birth of Underground Music and the British Art School, 1960-1980” argues that the British art school became a training ground for underground musicians in the 1960s and the 1970s because of changes in art school pedagogy and policy in the post-war period. New educational philosophies propagated during the late 1950s and 1960s, above all Basic Design and Behaviorism, redefined the artist as an intermedial experimenter, collapsed distinctions between fine art and design, and theorized the art object as a dynamic and interactive matrix between the maker and viewer. These initiatives, which evolved from art school reforms that began …
Ambiguity Of Vision: Reimagining The Hypervisible Void, Kiwha Lee Blocman
Ambiguity Of Vision: Reimagining The Hypervisible Void, Kiwha Lee Blocman
Theses and Dissertations
Asking questions about what Painting is in the 21st century and the dominant narratives it can challenge, my paintings complicate the viewer’s reading of pictorial hierarchy and the projection of human relations in the world. I de-hierarchize and decentralize the compositional components that make up a painting by using patterns to create spatial depth, not European perspectival conventions. In dialogue with modernists such as Matisse who drew from the visual vocabulary of “The Orient”, my central forms derived from architecture and ornamental fragments possess a body-like presence. Further, I reinvent ancient Asian printmaking processes with oil paint. Observing the tenets …
Femqorg Index, Nahee Kim
Femqorg Index, Nahee Kim
Theses and Dissertations
The project Femqorg Index began as I realized an endless number of chatbots and robots were released into this world as a spark of technology wrapped in a feminine persona, only to be disposed of after a short period. My imagination then extended to the thought that after they were disposed of, the entities along with their memories and advanced technology, would converge to create a network of their own. In this network, needs of the chatbots and robots were met through the exchange of strengths such as an advanced problem-solving ability, or a sturdy body that allowed unrestricted movement. …

(1-12 All The Way Down), Amorelle Jacox
Theses and Dissertations
My paintings are born out of a profound sense of cosmic free-fall. Tables and black holes hover in a realm where slippage between figure, object and space are confused. Metaphor pries open depths of metaphysical inquiry. That, with a brushstroke, the sky’s stomach might fold into a plate, and slip between the days.
Entre El Suelo Y Lo Demas, Maria Jose Garcia Estevez
Entre El Suelo Y Lo Demas, Maria Jose Garcia Estevez
Theses and Dissertations
My intention is to generate a narrative that challenges the idea of place as a fixed space, a precarious equilibrium experienced through material amalgamations- a constant shift between a recognizable belonging and a casi como o así como place.

Scene By Scene, Katita Miller
Scene By Scene, Katita Miller
Theses and Dissertations
Katita Miller’s paintings and drawings depict quotidian scenes through the filter of an overactive mind. Populated by spectral figures and swirling portals, her interiors and landscapes fluctuate between the mundane and the fantastical. This paper explores the parallels between painting and theater and the context and process behind five paintings.
The Quads, Elmer D. Guevara
The Quads, Elmer D. Guevara
Theses and Dissertations
My work attempts to reconcile my familial history. By reconstructing narratives, I am advancing a new sense of our family archive. My goal is to grant the viewer with autobiographical snippets delivered through the piecing and meshing of multiple scenarios and events that derive from family album photos and reimagining spaces.

A Parar Para Avanzar: To Stop/To Stand/To Strike To Advance, Christina N. Barrera
Theses and Dissertations
This paper presents the first fragments of a political framework outlining how I situate my work, which lives between “craft” and “art” models of making and between colonized and colonizing traditions. My writing proposes ways of making and being informed by practices, strategies, and organizing that work towards greater autonomy and liberation under these conditions.

The Screen To Desire, Joseph Parra
The Screen To Desire, Joseph Parra
Theses and Dissertations
Joseph Parra reflects on our often embellished online personas and their effect on our desires. Through luscious 3-dimensional painting Parra translates the seductive desire of the hypermasculine male-presenting figure through glorification and criticality. The tactile painting also acts as a rebellion to accurately represent “real” life on the digital screen.
“For My Will Is As Strong As Yours And My Kingdom As Great”, Anna L. Cone
“For My Will Is As Strong As Yours And My Kingdom As Great”, Anna L. Cone
Theses and Dissertations
My work responds to trauma, systems of power and abuses of power. The pieces give materiality to unseen labor and devalued knowledge, often disseminated from the “feminine,” domestic spaces of kitchens and baths, through practices of magic, astrology, ritual and baking. My materials–jello, hair and kitchen ingredients–refer to complex histories, brought present through film and performance.
Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes, Pol Morton
Head, Shoulders, Knees, And Toes, Pol Morton
Theses and Dissertations
My work explores ideas of transness, chronic illness, and injury. Through assemblage and repetition, my larger-than-life paintings address the dissociation and fragility of a body that is unmapped by society. These autobiographical works attempt to locate the self when it is trapped, whether in a bed, in the home, or within the body itself.
