First Solo Exhibition by Photographer Nona Faustine MFA ’13 Is Reviewed on CNN and Selected as New York Times Critic’s Pick
Nona Faustine: White Shoes, a series of 43 self-portraits shot throughout New York City over the course of decades, explores the city’s central but often obscured role in the history of the transatlantic slave trade, as well as examining questions about representation and perception of the Black body—and, more specifically, the Black female body—in art and other spaces.“Cultural-Centric Computational Embroidery,” Coauthored by Megumi Kivuva ’22, Wins Best Paper at SIGCSE TS 2024
How does one combat disparities in access to computer science classes for historically marginalized populations? One answer, proposed in a paper coauthored by Bard alum Megumi Kivuva ’22, could be embroidery. “We’ve come a long way as a country in offering some computer science courses in schools,” Kivuva said to the University of Washington. “But we’re learning that access doesn’t necessarily mean equity. It doesn’t mean underrepresented minority groups are always getting the opportunity to learn.”More Alumni/ae News
