]]> 天美视频 is hosting its fourth community-wide Day of Scholarship, open to all students, alumni, staff, and faculty as contributors and guests. This event aims to connect 天美视频 community members to the wider disciplinary and interdisciplinary conversations we are having as an institution. This year鈥檚 Day of Scholarship invites us to continue the interdisciplinary conversation that Dr. Doug Shirley began at the fall residency as we consider how the work of learning is also the work of unlearning. What does it take for our one-to-one representations鈥攐f people, experiences, even ourselves鈥攖o open into symbols that connect, heal, and transform the whole? How are grief, identity, culture, and loss woven into our capacity to learn in ways that exceed information and move toward formation?

Underrepresented Voices Art Gallery

Theme: Imagining Unlearning as Transformation

As people of color and members of other marginalized communities, we often find ourselves represented through the lenses of the majority鈥攖hrough stories, symbols, and images not our own. We learn to conform ourselves into majority boxes, learn to tell and recognize only majority-friendly stories. The work of transformation, then, begins with unlearning: unlearning the narratives that have shaped how we see ourselves and how we are seen.

Sometimes that unlearning means gently loosening, or breaking open, the hold of containers never built with us in mind, containers that have taught us to shrink, translate, or edit our ways of being. As we unlearn those constraints, we begin to rediscover the spaces within and between us that were always ours, though we may have learned to forget them.

This gallery invites artists and creators of color to explore how unlearning can itself be an act of artmaking; how the shedding of imposed images opens space for symbols that heal, connect, and reimagine identity. Each piece becomes a new story added to the collective pot, expanding what wholeness can look like when we are fully seen and self-defined.

We are welcoming all mediums of art and creative work. While the gallery in 天美视频 building will be a physical gallery, we invite submissions that are not traditional physical/visual mediums. For example, if you are a musician, songwriter, dancer, etc., consider contributing a visual manifestation of your craft for the gallery. This could be a photo of you doing your craft, some lyrics, a QR code linking to a recording of your piece, etc.
