Mireidys Garcia’s Div III project in library exhibit cases

Come to the library’s main floor to see our two exhibit cases (directly underneath Times Square, across from the InfoBar) transformed with the work of Hampshire College Division III student Mireidys Garcia.    Mireidys was one of the presenters in last week’s “Creative Interventions:  Presentations of a Selection of Arts and Social Action Div IIIs Combining Forms of Creative Practice and Engagement with Social Issues/ Social Justice.”      Her Division III chair is Aracelis Girmay (IA) and committee members are Heather Madden (IA) and Annie Rogers (CSI).    

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mireidys describes her work: “An interdisciplinary writing and bookbinding project, Letter to the Immigrant’s Child comes alive in five poetry collections, five artist’s books, and a critical introduction on process.   The project explores the multifaceted identities of young adults living in-between cultures and the complexities surrounding the cultural/identity displacement that comes with migration, in striving to understand the relationship between culture and location.   Four of the collections are based off of interviews with four Hampshire students and the fifth is written on my experience, from my perspective.”

We are always so pleased to be able to showcase our talented students’ work in the library.   Come by and spend some time at the exhibit cases!
