Graduate Presentations
Related Members: Katy Beltran, Brooke Krankel, Christy Lorio
Christy Lorio will share her ongoing evolution in the MFA program, how she explored her cancer diagnosis in her work, resulting in empowering photographs. Katy Beltran's presentation will center around the photo-based project SOMA, which through appropriation of popular media, and multiple depictions of disjointed bodies and objects of consumption, comments on the effects of media culture images and the demonization of the erotic life of feminized and racialized bodies. Brooke Krankel's work focuses on the feminine norms that exist in American culture, specifically appearance and control of the female body, expectations of the female role, and questioning religious and societal history that has contributed to gender inequality.
