Justice Art Exhibit Photos

The Humanities Center and the School of Art opened an exhibit related to the Humanities Center's annual theme "JUSTICE" located at the School of Art's Satellite Gallery at Charles Adams Studio Project. The exhibit ran during February's First Friday Art Trail.

The JUSTICE exhibition asks us to consider in visual terms how ethical transgressions and acts of violence turn on our failure to see others' humanity. Ultimately, these works deploy a range of media to evoke threat to our collective humanity that every unjust action constitutes as they also envision hopeful possibilities beyond the world we know.

First prize was awarded to Mona Bozorgi for Virtual Reality (2016). Bozorgi is a doctoral student studying Interdisciplinary Arts; Critical Studies and Artistic Practice. Second prize was awarded to Allen Smith for transmedia conversion (2020). Smith is a candidate and presidential fellow in Master of Fine Arts, Painting program. The exhibition was juried by a panel of Humanities Center Advisory Board Members.
