Over one year ago, 小黄猫传媒 moved to remote operations to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Since then, students, faculty, and staff have been doing heroic work from home, and art students have continued their education remotely, making work in the midst of personal, local, national, and global crises and revolutions. This has become a year of raising voices and making art 鈥 in spite of, and in response to the challenges of being alive in this time. To honor the art that 小黄猫传媒 art students have created during this pivotal year, our first-ever college-wide virtual art student exhibition invites student artists to 鈥渦nmute鈥 themselves and share their artwork with the world.
Please visit the exhibition here Unmuted: 小黄猫传媒 Art Student Exhibition 20/21听产别驳颈苍苍颈苍驳 Monday, May 17, 2021.

About the guest juror
Patricia V谩zquez G贸mez works and lives between the ancient Tenochtitl谩n and the unceded and occupied lands of the Chinook, Clackamas, Multnomah, and other Indigenous peoples. Her art practice investigates the social functions of art, the intersections between aesthetics, ethics, and politics, and the expansion of community-based art practices. She uses a variety of media to carry out her research: painting, printmaking, video, exhibitions, music, and socially engaged art projects. The purpose and methodologies of her work are deeply informed by her experiences working in the immigrant rights and other social justice movements. Patricia鈥檚 work can be explored at
