Meet the five artist finalists in the ARCH Project and hear about their proposals for a lasting campus monument on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at the Wyndham House.
Bryn Mawr College’s ARCH Project (Art Remediating Campus Histories), in partnership with Monument Lab, builds on ongoing college-supported efforts by students, staff, alumni, and faculty to reveal and repair harm, and to reckon with Bryn Mawr College’s history with a way to a future of inclusion and reconciliation.
The five finalists were asked to propose an original artwork that answers the question, “What stories are missing from Bryn Mawr College?”.
They will present their proposals in the Wyndham House’s Ely Room at the following times:
- 10 a.m. Michelle Lopez and Sharon Hayes
- 11 a.m. Nekisha Durrett
- 1 p.m. Jean Shin
- 2 p.m. Risa Puno
- 3 p.m. Amanda D. King
You will have an opportunity to ask questions, view renderings and details of each proposal, and learn about the concepts that have framed each work. If you are unable to attend in-person, you may join via webcast. Zoom registration here.
Proposal summaries and a feedback survey are available on our website as supporting resources to the presentations. Informed by your comments, the Artist Advisory Committee will make recommendations that will be delivered to Bryn Mawr College’s President and Board of Trustees. The Office of the President will announce the commissioned artist in May 2023.
All are also invited to join the artists for refreshments at a Campus Center reception from 4–5 p.m. Snacks and beverages will be provided at all events.
Bryn Mawr College welcomes the full participation of all individuals in all aspects of campus life. Should you wish to request a disability-related accommodation for this event, please contact the event sponsor/coordinator. Requests should be made as early as possible.
