    • Define/d, Project/Event Organizer
      • Dec 2018 - Jan 2019

      Define/d was an event within the college's campus-wide program called "Claiming Williams." This event was a participatory, multi-sensory exploration of identity that actively engaged the Williams College Museum of Art's collection through art-making, photography, writing, and performance. I, along with a small group of students, created this event as a means of fostering critical conversations regarding inclusivity and equity within fine arts spaces. Doing so involved writing labels and reactions to art on display, and organizing/logistically planning a series of activities, performances, and meals. Show less
