The following curatorial statement was written by Jayden Renehan, an ART1000 History of Art student:
The West Wing Art Gallery at American International College showcases multiple pieces of student artwork that have multiple meanings. American International College is a very diverse college, so students need to be able to recognize different cultures and the importance of each culture’s history. Students produced many images based on the “I Have a Dream” speech by Martin Luther King to further create more expression and interpretation into the culture. Another set of art is the Migration artwork done by students, who shared their feelings and definitions about migration and how it affects people’s lives. Art is made to express feelings and emotions about certain subjects. The art presented in the West Wing Gallery aims to educate and create more of a diverse community within American International College.

| Photo by Ashley Lara, Digital Photography 1 In Dr. Martin Luther King's speech he brings up equality between races. In this image I tried to capture how thing still are not equal. This image was taken right on the border of Longmeadow and Springfield. To the left we have Longmeadow, a predominately white town, with smooth new roads. Meanwhile to the right we have Springfield which consists of mostly minorities, with the old busted roads. |
