Howardena Pindell’s “‘Till Brinam Wood Removes to Dunsinane’ (Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 3)” (1991) effectively draws the audience’s attention, first focusing their eyes on the yellow center where the large text “Have A Nice Day” starkly contrasts with the smaller words “propaganda,” “death” and “double standards” surrounding it. Throughout the work, Pindell uses the same technique of eye-catching contrasts. In the black background, bright, blood-red handprints break up the blackness and draw the public’s eye to certain words neighboring them. Phrases like “Full Air Explosives,” painted in red, appear next to words like “Silence,” written completely in white. Here, a word with loud and destructive connotations appears next to “Silence,” the result of destruction, implying a lack of life.

“Drag queens are people, too!” said Plane Jane, an established performer from the Boston area. She opened this year’s Triskelion’s Annual Drag Show with what seemed to be a wink to those old Rocky Horror Picture Show midnight screenings. Next to her, co-host and drag king Jayden Jamison welcomed the eager audience to an intergalactic room that looked nothing like Sherman Function Hall.

In the past four years, no show has ever sold out all five of its showings. Producer Gabriel Walker ’19 should pat himself on the back for amassing the largest possible turnout for the Undergraduate Theater Collective’s “Mamma Mia!” Hell, I even saw my econometrics professor in the audience watching Director Leah Sherin’s ’19 latest project.

Loud. That is how I would describe my Friday night at Chum’s. This, however, is not a negative attribute. Loud is usually exciting, invigorating, awakening. The concert that I attended was all of these. The MAD Band hosted a jam session with the Bentley Pep Band, and to say the café roared would be an understatement. It’s a good thing the Castle doesn’t have residents anymore, because students were blasting music through their speakers, valves, drums and bells.

Upon walking into to Levin Ballroom, a poster depicting a brightly colored sunset hanging over the ocean with glittering letters spelling out “MATAHARI” caught my eye. As AYALA coordinator Kate Nguyen ’21 explained to me, “Matahari means the sun … [It] implies that we want to look towards a brighter tomorrow.” Each coordinator had their own idea for AYALA this year, but they managed to connect Matahari, the ocean and family under one distinction: connections. By making connections with others, we can build a brighter future for ourselves, but our very first connections begin with those we consider family. The ocean symbolizes the connection between all 11 Southeast Asian countries. Even the audience members were incorporated into the whole design! We were people from various backgrounds, ethnicities and cultures gathering around, connected by the ocean and the sun.

The latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe was released last week to roaring box office success. “Captain Marvel” follows the story of a young warrior from an alien planet suffering from amnesia — she can’t remember anything before five years ago. When a mission takes her to Earth in 1995, she must combat invading shapeshifters, called Skrulls, and stop them from acquiring a massive light speed generator.

This past Saturday, I had the opportunity to attend Brandeis Black Student Organization’s second “Shade of Blackness” event, which was held in the International Cultural Center. As I come from a predominantly white and rural town, it was an amazing chance to see this event.
