Reflections a Student Response Show That Engages Directly With the Themes and Concepts of the Exhibition: As It Was Meant to Be Told.

Reflections is a testament to the profound impact that art can have in shaping and understanding personal identity. Inspired by the diverse approaches to self-portraiture displayed in the front gallery, these student artists have created works that not only reflect their personal experiences but also engage with broader cultural conversations. Primarily using photography, these young artists explore themes of heritage, self-discovery, and the complexities of their identities in a contemporary context.

This response show is more than an academic exercise; it is an authentic dialogue between generations of artists. By drawing upon their own life experiences and cultural backgrounds, the students provide fresh perspectives on the ongoing conversation about identity, selfhood, and cultural expression initiated by As It Was Meant to Be Told. The resulting works offer a diverse and multi-layered exploration.

Participating Artists

The exhibition features a selection of works by students from Mount St. Joseph University, each bringing their unique voice and perspective to the conversation. These artists have delved deep into their own narratives, creating works that resonate with the themes of self-exploration and cultural heritage.
