the one-day experience at Melbourne Museum with Dr. Kate Phillips – who has a scientific background in genetic biology – is definitely eye-opening. In that afternoon, a brief research on Anthropocene exhibitions around the world was carried by us as Kate is proposing an Anthropocene-related exhibition to be open in the near future. I have zero background in human science, and always more interested in space rather than complicated human society. It was my first time to learn the basic concept of…

during its prime a majority of the interior buildings of the Alhambra palace were likely accessible only to prominent citizens, members of the military, and Moorish monarchs, no different in exclusivity than the mosque of Agha’s childhood. This exhibition seemingly reveals more about Anilas interpretation than it does about the complexity of her Pakistani culture and community. She is the light and her memories are the box, both isolated and at the center of attention, projecting her childhood…

the work. This project includes modern artists of African, Asian and Caribbean ancestry. Such as Rasheed Araeen, Sonia Boyce, Eddie Chambers and many others. After doing more research I found that Tate had an exhibition ‘soul of a nation: art in the age of black power’. The exhibition begins in 1963 at the peak of the civil rights movement and its ideas of integration. Artist’s acted in response to these times by provoking, challenging and confounding expectations. Their strength and drive…

My first time at the Art Institute went better than I anticipated. My friend went with me and we had a great time. We started off with Folk Art and then went to European Art. We ended up in the Doctrine and Devotion exhibition, and it was really interesting how the religious art from different parts of the world such as, Germany, France, Italy, and Peru were very similar to each other. I thought it was pretty cool how art can be very similar, when it comes to the same themes even if it has to do…

Although uncommonly known today, human zoos were an abnormal phenomenon that unexpectedly got popular. They were swept under the rug by businessmen who flooded the headlines with other things to overshadow and hide the outbreak of hate against human zoos. People forgot about them and soon they were an unknown form of entertainment, especially after racial equality campaigns began to have some precedent.

wasn't. I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality.” Later in life Frida had to rely on painkillers that affected the quality of her work (The Art Story). During 1953, Lola Alvarez Bravo organized Frida’s first solo exhibition of Frida’s work. Frida had to attend the exhibition in her bed because her right leg was amputated above the knee. In 1954, Kahlo caught pneumonia and took part in a demonstration against North American intervention in Guatemala even after her doctor had strongly…
