Virtual Student Symposium: Piecing Together Identities
The Hunter Museum Student Symposium returns to 2021 virtually. Papers will center around the theme “Piecing Together Identities,” inspired by our current exhibition, Under Construction: Collage from The Mint Museum. College students will virtually present research exploring the identity narratives pieced together through bodies of work created by visual, literary, and performing artists and contemporary cultural figures.

- Ellie Fitzgerald (U Conn), Piecing Together Identities: Susan Hudson, Contemporary Quilt Art and Interrogations of Violence
- Chelsey Paige (UTC), Assemblaged Identities: What Libby Paloma Wants You to Know
- Sydney Young (Univ Kentucky), The MCR Cosplay Side of Tik Tok: Complicating Judith Butler’s Ideas of Gender in the Age of Tik Tok
