The following students will be presenting: Maymunah Ahmed (‘23), Ryan Hayes (‘23), Adenike Hickson (‘22), Mallory Nelson (‘22), and Samuel Perry (‘23).

View 3D Virtual Tour: A 360-degree virtual tour of the exhibition was created by Mandeville Gallery student docent, Mallory Nelson (Class of 2022), in consultation with the Mandeville Gallery and Schaffer Library. The tour is available to view here.
