Featuring a perhaps unexpected combination of sustainability, poverty and art, the student art show "Art + Activism" will open this Thursday in the student gallery of the Black Family Visual Arts Center. The show, which will run until the end of the term, is the result of collaborative efforts between the Office of Sustainability, the "A Monstrous Octopus: The Tentacles of Poverty" symposium team and "This Is Not a Group," a student organization responsible for running, curating and installing exhibits in the gallery. The theme "Art + Activism" originated when the Sustainability in the Arts interns and representatives from the "A Monstrous Octopus" symposium approached student gallery co-managers Luca Molnar '13 and Sabrina Yegela '13 about combining the arts with their respective focus areas. Both student groups were especially eager to incorporate their ideas with the arts to align with the Hopkins Center's Year of the Arts initiative, Sustainability in the Arts intern Anna Morenz '13 said. "We really felt that the arts can be a form of activism in terms of providing powerful visual images that get people thinking about social issues or raise consciousness about issues in a different way than say, a lecture or some of the other opportunities on campus," Morenz said.
