2024-2025 CAPP Selections
Featuring Works by Xanthe Burdett, Juan José Cielo, Nilou Kazemzadeh, Georgica Pettus, Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez, Paloma Vianey, Elena Volkova, and Heeseop Yoon
Deeply empathetic, forward-thinking, and community-centered, this year’s CAPP Committee selections encapsulate the multiplicity that exists within all of us. Drawn to works that contend with resilience and resistance, the group bonded over artists who addressed the immediacy of representation in the current socio-political climate, emphasizing themes of collective futures, cultivating conversations, and reimagining the art historical canon. Of the selection, the Committee said, “We chose these pieces with great intention, capturing the essence of communities that have been foundational to the creation and structure of this academic institution. As a cohort, we hope that our choices uplift the stories and voices of our community both as an institution and as a part of life beyond our University.”
