Identities and the American Experience:
Art, Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation
Project 1
The Harlan Gallery is pleased to present Project 1, an exhibition featuring work by elise michaux. The exhibition runs from March 8 – 26, 2021. Project 1 is the first in the series of investigations of ongoing exhibitions that intersect race, gender, and sexual orientation through the process of art. The activity of art and cultural production can be a productive way, in which to interrogate these concepts in order to unpack and to deconstruct cultural tropes that are impinged upon society as a whole. The point of this series is to offer a different point of view than those offered by the broader culture.
elise michaux’s work centers around her ability to find ways to communicate through themes of empathy – the artist’s use of short video conversations intersect black history and it’s contemporaneous experience here in the U.S. michaux’s photographs poignantly draws the viewer into unexpected experiences of blackness, she deftly captures moments that disarm and portray a side of blackness that is rarely shown in our media culture – thus expanding the viewers experience of blackness. Her photography pushes against the popular bandwidth of media capitalism and instead offers an experience that is nuanced – sometimes ambiguous, that is usually not represented in our shared media culture.

Imagine this: Your Engage community has every campus department represented, each actively uploading their own content and events. It is well organized and easy for a student to understand. Every digital form used by your campus is hosted by Engage, and students are all well-aware that Engage is where they should go for all of the latest co-curricular details. It may be easier for you to imagine this scenario if your vice president and full executive leadership team fully understands, supports, and advocates for your student engagement platform across campus, but it isn’t impossible to build towards that vision without leadership buy-in. In this webinar, student engagement expert and Director of Student Engagement at Seton Hill Elise Michaux shares her tips for creating a campus-wide experience of Engage without necessarily having campus-wide buy-in. This includes digitally, such as by creating branches and organization pages for different departmental units, as well as physically, by representing Engage on-campus in cross-departmental spaces and trainings.
