Semester Project- Umradha Shievkumar


For my original proposal I was going to do a presentation on the Art Works for Change Organization. I instead, created an Instagram account and put my PowerPoint on their as well as other points of interest. I made the account public to make it accessible to everyone and asked a few of my classmates and friends to take a look and many of them were quite intrigued by some of the pieces.

In short, I did an “expose” on two of the exhibitions done with “Art Works for Change.” Their mission is to “address issues of serious concern—human rights, social justice, gender equity, environmental stewardship and sustainability—in creative, inspiring, and ultimately positive ways by engaging with audiences fully, creating experiences that are at once emotional, intellectual, and sensory.”

AWFC partners with local organizations to “create related programming that leverages the artwork to foster dialogue and build awareness of the issues addressed. In this way, our exhibitions serve as a crucible where artists, museums, advocacy organizations, and local community may unite as a collective force for change.”

I found this organization to be particularly interesting because they not only focus on one issue, but a variety of issues from domestic violence to climate change.

I was passionate about the two exhibitions featured in my PowerPoint as they were the most compelling to me.
The two exhibitions were: "The True Stories Project" (1st photo) & "Violence Against Women in India" (2nd Photo)
"Sold- the Red Bar Code Series" - Hit Man Gurung 

"Untitled"-Rani Jha
