MY PHOTO STORY:
Cultural Visualization of a Burmese International Student


Show Tun

This paper introduces snap shots of my tribally diverse country, Burma (Myanmar), as I express myself with the display of my personal pictures from home. I have also included photos of my new life as an international college student in the United States.


ENGENDERING A SENSE OF SELF

Kathryn Wilson

This essay describes the exhibition of creative artworks of 18 "contemporary ethnic women," which were displayed at the Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies in the Fall '98 season.  These ethnic women represented African American, Asian, Hispanic, and Native American cultural heritage.  Wilson describes how these artists used multiple visual modes such as painting, sculpture, photography, fabric art, and iconography to "engender" their female self embedded in, yet sometimes collided with, their heritage.
