Beyond Color: A Life Journey Using Art to Transcend Culture

The Curfman Gallery will be hosting Fauna Hodel on Tuesday, September 1st, 5-7pm for a discussion of the current exhibit in the gallery. Beyond Color: A Life Journey Using Art to Transcend Culture tells the remarkable story of Fauna Hodel, a woman who was born Caucasian but grew up believing she was black. The exhibition immerses visitors in Fauna’s experiences using the many artistic links in her life: cinema, fashion, music, writing, architecture, sculpture, photography and film.

Fauna Hodel will be on campus for a reception and book signing at the Curfman Gallery on Sept. 1, 5-7 p.m. She will return to campus at the end of the month as a speaker during the annual Diversity Symposium, Sept. 23-25.

Beyond Color is sponsored by CSU’s Department of Journalism and Media Communications, Culturs Club and the Curfman Gallery. The exhibit was developed by Culutrs.guru Global Multicultural Magazine, an online publication devoted to uncovering hidden diversity as well as the nuances of cultural communication in the 21stcentury.

Submissions for this exhibit came to a close in January and we exhibited the best of the best art with a conceptual element relating to science, or is science that is manifesting as art or in an aesthetically pleasing way. The opening reception was Tuesday, Feb 25 at 4:30pm. The awards for excellence went to Lauren Faherty for her piece “ACGT” and  Eisen Tamkun for “Disperse.”  Mark Dineen won the Juror’s choice award for “Bronze Drawings” and Kathleen Eddy was awarded the honorable mention for her piece, “Estuary”
