The exhibition title the students chose was inspired by Women Artists: The Creative Process in which author bell hooks ruminates on the basic blueprint for sustained creativity: that artists thrive when granted dedicated time and space for the creation of artwork, and thrive in communities of like-minded individuals. Furthermore, bell hooks declares artists must adopt an unflinching commitment to create despite the obstacles they encounter.
The MFA exhibition will remain up through May 10.
