A conversation that is centered around deconstructing perceptions and problematic societal norms themed around our hair.

Be Your Own asks participants to visualize through art-making their cultural, spiritual, emotional, or physical relationship with gender. Facilitators will help participants think about how they see their genders and provide samples and guidance in creating art. What is it? Opportunity for campus community members to take action on social issues from a personal and cultural level. RECLAIM: Show others what one of our themes looks like or means to you. Define yourself! HEAL: Allow art - sculpture, drawing, painting, writing, composing - to help you move through something you or loved ones have experienced. TRANSFORM: Make visible the future of our community by viewing the art at our exhibit. How will this happen? CREATE: Use our materials (bring your own, if you'd like) to create your representation of this year's themes. Use any medium that speaks to you! REFLECT: Write up a brief artist's statement after finishing your piece. Facilitators will guide participants through a reflection process to create a statement that focuses on process and context. ACT: Bring friends to the exhibit and develop dialogue as you see your artwork in conversation with the other pieces of art.
