Spilling the tea on 'Zoe Rose Spills her Guts.'

(04/16/24 10:00am)

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.

Interview with Professor Aïda Yuen Wong

(04/16/24 10:00am)

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.

The trio waited for the music, their purple skirts billowing in the gentle winds.

 From Thursday, April 4, to Sunday, April 7, Brandeis’ Hold Thy Peace presented their version of  William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest,” directed by Naomi Stephenson ’26. “The Tempest” is an incredibly fascinating and nuanced piece of literature, telling the story of one man’s quest for vengeance and those he impacts along the way.

Raccoon? Racketeering? Raku!

(04/09/24 10:00am)

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.
