The show is also meant to be an inclusive space that rejects the norms and traditions of the fashion industry in regard to what body types should be.&nbsp;</p> <p>Because next year’s show is typically inspired by the previous year, planning begins soon after the last model has left the stage. In reviewing the recent show, committee members discuss what worked and what didn’t, and general ideas for next year’s show are also noted. Planning momentum picks up shortly after fall semester begins.&nbsp;</p> <p>A theme represents each BHM fashion show and often reflects the attire models will demonstrate. In 2018, <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmem22ig" target="_blank">Sankofa Remix’d: Reclaiming My Fly</a> featured African-influenced clothing. In 2020, <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmLAVmvd" target="_blank">Look Black At It: 50 Years of Fashion</a> gave audience members a glimpse at some of the unique styles that influenced the fashion industry and the nation during the last 50 years. And in 2021, models adorned pillows, hazmat suits, and sleepwear for <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHsmUzFsUx" target="_blank">Quarantine Couture</a>. This year showcased models in a variety of African-influenced prints and formal styles in <a href="https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzHAQa" target="_blank">BLACK LIFE RELOADED</a>.</p> <p>And as with every BHM fashion show, audience members not only cheer for fashion, but for the students, faculty, and staff wearing it. This year, about 34 鶹Ƶ community members strutted the walkway.</p> <p>“It’s an event where students representing many parts of campus participate,” explains Candice Raynor, director and faculty in residence of <a href="/ahh" target="_blank">Afrikan Heritage House</a>. “Whether it's modeling or performing, you have both the conservatory and the college, student-athletes, performing arts students, STEM students, visual arts students, and mixes of those groups participating.</p> <p>“I think the event is popular because it's a fun and an interesting way to celebrate Black History Month and Black cultures at 鶹Ƶ,” continues Raynor. “There is always a lot to be learned from the show as far as Black culture and Black contributions to fashion and pop culture in general.”&nbsp;</p> <p>We continue our photo tour with a secret marriage in Hall Auditorium, a benefit for Ukraine at First United Methodist Church of 鶹Ƶ, art study in the Allen Memorial Art Museum, poetry reading at the ‘Sco, a historic wintery win for the men’s lacrosse team at the Austin E.

One day I’m crating a Picasso and the next I’m making picture frames.</p> <p><strong>Do you have a favorite exhibit (past or present) that you had a role in?</strong> I once installed a Sal Scarpitta retrospective in North Carolina. It was the first time I worked with a renowned artist. He was kind and great to work with and had many interesting stories. The centerpiece of the exhibit was a 20’ x 20’ work “created by God” (his description), presented by Sal and installed by me in a three-story atrium.</p> <p><strong>Do you make art yourself?</strong> I turn wooden bowls and sometimes make assemblages in shadow boxes.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Have you always wanted a career as a preparator of art?</strong> I wanted to be an archaeologist but I’m not disappointed.</p> <p><strong>For students who would like a career in this field, what should they do to pursue it? </strong>To do this type of work, one has to be detail oriented with talent as a builder, sculptor, welder and designer.

What is the experience like for you?</strong> When I visit a museum, unfortunately, I always focus on what supports / suspends the art or what materials and hardware were used. I’m always looking for a better technique but eventually I will notice the art. &nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Favorite place in 鶹Ƶ and why?</strong> My favorite place is the King Sculpture Court balcony for the best views in the museum.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Favorite childhood memory?</strong> Meeting my paternal grandparents for the first time when I was 7 at the Ljubljana airport.</p> <p><strong>Favorite movie?</strong> <em>Hoodwinked&nbsp;</em></p> <p><strong>Hobbies?</strong> Pedaling, camping, cooking, and woodworking</p> <p><strong>Favorite food?</strong> Cassoulet</p> <p><strong>Favorite Quote or personal philosophy?</strong> “Live as if you were to die tomorrow.

Three students carrying their selections from the program serve as inspiration for this week’s photo series.</p> <p>These three students—and&nbsp;others&nbsp;who are also enrolled this semester—participated in an 81-year-old tradition this past weekend. On June 5, students arrived at the <a href="https://amam.oberlin.edu" target="_blank">Allen Memorial Art Museum</a> (AMAM), selected a piece of artwork, and walked their carefully wrapped packages back to their residence halls, where they will be on display for the remainder of the semester. Although <a href="https://amam.oberlin.edu/learn/oberlin-college-students/art-rental" target="_blank">Art Rental</a> procedures were slightly adjusted this year, the semesterly program continued to give students the opportunity to truly appreciate a work of art by living with it over time. This semester more than 340 pieces of artwork were rented by students.

Students then leafed through rows of art pieces before selecting up to two works to rent at $5 each.&nbsp;</p> <p>This year, in order to continue the tradition, students will enter through the main doors of the museum—keeping six feet of social distance—and exit through the rear door, all while wearing masks. The program is also being expanded by three hours this year to enable more time for students to move through the process. it will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.</p> <p>Each student will be shown a random choice of five works, eliminating the need for students to feel that they have to arrive early or camp out the night before to get their first choice. By allowing each student to only rent one work, instead of two, <a href="https://amam.oberlin.edu/" target="_blank">AMAM</a> personnel believes there is potential to serve more students. Students will also not be charged for rentals this academic year.&nbsp;</p> <p>‘‘We think all the works in the program are great and hope that by doing this, students will discover a work they might not otherwise have chosen,” says John G. W. Cowles Director Andria Derstine. ‘‘This year marks the program’s 80th anniversary. Museum staff felt it was important to continue this event for several reasons. The primary reason is that we believe in the importance of art not only for education but also as a means of providing enjoyment and comfort in challenging situations.&nbsp;</p> <p>‘‘Art is thought-provoking, can promote dialogue, and can be uplifting. This is a moment when all of those qualities can likely prove beneficial to our community. We also wanted to maintain the program simply because so much else has changed in students' lives. Keeping the program going this year helps create some sense of normalcy.
