During the early days of June, students took Sidechat, an anonymous forum app designed for college communities, to express anger regarding the rumored elimination of Brandeis Arts Engagement. Brandeis Arts Engagement had long been a vital resource for students involved in or interested in the arts. For years, it provided crucial support and opportunities for artistic growth and expression. As such, the Sidechat post caused quite a stir. At the time, many students were unclear about what the end of Arts Engagement meant, let alone if there was any concrete proof supporting the rumor. However, amidst news of numerous faculty layoffs and program cuts, the possibility of the program’s end was not out of the question.

Visual art and storytelling are powerful tools for bridging the gap between our individual perspectives, offering unique ways to express, interpret and connect with shared human experiences. While many turn to artistic mediums to convey their own perceptions, Brandeis alumni Alissa Fagin ’20 utilizes documentary filmmaking to explore the subjective experiences of others. Fagin’s work is unique in that it blends science and art together through filmmaking, ultimately communicating “science in a way that’s nuanced and emotional” and capturing the subjectivity still prevalent in a concrete field.

For centuries, art has not merely functioned as a demonstration of aesthetics — it has served as a vital avenue for self-expression, communication and connection. If we turn to history, art has been a platform for communities of color to assert their identities and narratives in a world that often silences their voices.

Comedy has an incredible power to help us navigate some of the most complex and emotionally taxing experiences. A moment of genuine laughter can lift spirits, foster unexpected connections and create space for people to escape and face the challenges of life. In her one-woman performance, put on in conjunction with the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Arts, Brandeis alum Zoë Rose ’20 used her humor for the very purpose of inspiring audiences to look inward.

As an artist, I have a strong appreciation for the study of art history. When creating art, artists make references to and build upon the art they have seen before, whether they intend to or not. It is important to appreciate and study the visual language that one is participating in when creating art. As such, in an effort to further my understanding of the vast subject, I interviewed art historian Prof. Aïda Yuen Wong (FA). In our conversation, we discussed Wong’s experience with the study of art history as well as her projects, passions, and philosophies. We explored topics such as the impact of a good professor, the relationship between art and art history and the expanding definition of what art is and can be.

I had the pleasure of attending the Raku Firing event held by the Department of Fine Arts on April 7 as a part of the Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts. Raku is a technique used in firing ceramics that originates from Japan in the 16th century. Raku involves making ceramic pieces, glazing them with a special lead based glaze and firing them to 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. The pieces are then removed from the kiln and allowed to cool either in open air or a reduction chamber. The resulting pieces are unique and unpredictable due to the Raku technique’s exposure to carbon, whether in the air or in a reduction chamber. Carbon molecules bond to the clay, creating a matte black finish with a wide variety of effects on glazed portions of the piece. Glazed portions can take on crazed, iridescent or glossy qualities.
