Leonie Bradbury, Distinguished Curator-in-Residence. The exhibition is curated by fourteen undergraduate students in conjunction with a Visual Media Arts course, “Curating Contemporary Art,” taught by Dr.

By providing expressive, autobiographical and philosophical approaches, the selected artists reveal the vulnerability of producing art in order to reclaim their identity and help others do the same. Objects are obscured, enlarged, exaggerated, and adapted into gestures of bold authenticity with compelling internal and external realities. In showcasing highly individualized works, the exhibition presents a space to consider subjective differences in intersectional approaches, as well as means for exploring how implicit biases may be challenged or fostered for change. “I: An Intimate Reflection,” aims to digest the tangible and intangible aspects of identity. Open to the public, gallery hours are Wednesday through Friday, 12:00 p.m. The presentation includes a broad range of media by Boston-based emerging artists such as photography, steel sculpture, acrylic painting, digital video, and hand-sewn mixed media installations. Emerson Contemporary, Emerson College’s platform for presenting contemporary visual art, presents a new exhibition “I: An Intimate Reflection,” on view in the Media Art Gallery at 25 Avery Street, through December 12, 2021.
