 A Symposium and Exhibition Committee presents <b><i>MakeShift: handmade\, h
 omemade\, and remade productions</i></b>\, a processing of collectively sha
 red anxieties about the rise of visualizations generated with artificial in

 y graduate students <b>Morgan Sears-Williams</b>\, <b>Maya Rodrigo-Abdi</b>
 \, <b>Laney Agodon</b>\, and <b>Gulmehar Dhillon</b>\, this year’s event pr
 oposes a material-focused and making-oriented shift in the ways in which we
  engage with art. <i>MakeShift </i>will make space for further dialogue con

 rom curator and educator <b>Olumoroti (Moroti) Soji-George </b>(Black Arts 
 Centre\, Gallery Gachet) on Thursday\, March 2\, at 5PM in Room 1002. Throu
 gh his presentation\, entitled <i>Exquisite Corpse</i>\, Soji-George will u
 ncover the emergence and significance of new approaches to Black cultural p
 roduction. Soji-George believes that Black bodies are constantly refusing\,
  resisting\, and creating. Therefore\, he aims to address how institutions 
 can grow to support and foster Black artistic emergence. Even further\, he 
 will raise questions on what the institution cannot hold. This presentation
  will draw inspiration from Kerry James Marshall’s recent body of work\, <i
 >Exquisite Corpse: This is not a Game </i>(2022)\, and the concept of refus
 al as an artistic praxis and aesthetic\, as indicated in the works of Édoua
 rd Glissant and Fred Moten.</span></p><p><span lang="EN-US">We acknowledge
