TSA presents: ‘My Home, Formosa’

(03/03/20 11:00am)

Last Saturday, the Taiwanese Student Association held its annual cultural show, “My Home, Formosa,” in the Levin Ballroom. In 1542, Portuguese sailors came across a forest-cloaked land and shouted: “Ilha Formosa,’’ meaning “Beautiful Island.” Taiwan was then named “Formosa” in 1542. This year, TSA picked Formosa as the namesake and topic of the show to conjure up a feeling of home and belonging for Taiwanese-American students, and to present the beauty and essence of Taiwanese culture in the Brandeis community.

Quick: create and perform a play!

(02/11/20 11:00am)

On Sunday night, the Undergraduate Theater Collective (UTC) presented “Quickies,” the annual festival of student-written short plays. The nine plays were all about 10 minutes long, and were written, produced, directed, designed and acted by students. The format of these performances allow students to get involved in theater, no previous experience or extensive time commitment required. Auditions for “Quickies” were about two or three weeks prior to the showcase followed by a mere two or three rehearsals for students to perfect their short plays.

A K-NITE to remember

(02/11/20 11:00am)

K-NITE is one of the largest events that the Brandeis Korean Students Association holds every year. This year, KSA chose the theme of butterflies, or “Nabi,” to represent the hard yet beautiful transition that everyone has to go through in life, to say farewell to the graduating senior class, to wish the best for everyone going through hardships and to ultimately become a better version of themselves.

Spotlight on the Kniznick Gallery 02/11/2020

(02/11/20 11:00am)

  For most people, plants are a symbol of nature — both peaceful and calm. Along those lines, with a few exceptions, plants are often portrayed in a positive light and sometimes as a symbol for good. Flowers, for example, represent beauty and preciousness. To name another, trees embody wisdom and gentleness. Even grass is often seen as the representation of life and resilience. However, as much as we love to personify different types of plants, there is a fundamental difference between the way we see plants and the way we see animals.  Despite the fact that both are treated as life, many people don’t see humans and plants as having much similarity. In “Making Kin (With Self and Other),” S.E. Nash mixes human bodies, brain images and natural coloring, creating a set of images that are slightly disturbing but fascinating at the same time.
