• Fenèt sou Ayiti/Window on Haiti

  Fenèt sou Ayiti is a bilingual project of FIU’s advanced French conversation class (spring 2021), which ties French language acquisition to the culture of a francophone country. The rich collection of Haitian art at the Frost Art Museum provided the class with the opportunity to explore the works of several Haitian artists, who created their art in the last 40-50 years. The class selected 25 works; seventeen students conducted research and wrote bi-lingual labels.

• Art and Empathy

  Students enrolled in FIU’s Honors College course, History of Medicine through the Arts, taught by Dr. Amilcar Castellano-Sanchez, visited the Frost Art Museum over the course of this year to organize Art and Empathy: Selections from the Collection of the Frost Art Museum. By analyzing other exhibitions on view and consulting materials in the museum’s print study room, these student curators learned about the process of creating an exhibition, from caring for objects to writing exhibition labels. Each student undertook research on a work of art and produced its label. As a group, they discussed the checklist, made final selections, and debated the physical presentation of the exhibition. Now a virtual viewing experience, Art and Empathy exemplifies the students’ immersion in the curatorial process of interpreting and making meaning through visual art.

• it feels familiar

  The graduating class of MFA in Visual Arts candidates collectively agreed upon the exhibition title it feels familiar, as it suggests a number of themes that are present throughout this exhibition. For sure, many of the works examine memory, often as fractured and unreliable yet full of potential to create more hopeful futures.
