This fellowship supports the creation of an original body of work to be exhibited in the Moody Center for the Arts. Fellowship recipients are responsible for creating an original body of work to be exhibited in any media; curating, hanging, and setting up the exhibition; creating an original graphic for exhibition announcements (postcards, space on the center website, and inclusion in the center calendar); preparing a ten-minute exhibition talk about the work; and coordinating the exhibition’s opening reception.

which knives are for the animals
which ones are for the girls?

Through an assemblage of handwritten accounts, academic papers, poems, news articles, short stories, and images, which knives are for the animals | which ones are for the girls? prompts viewers to examine and engage with the complex underpinnings of feminine subjectivity. Formless casts of resin and scattered magnifying lenses amplify and obscure the concurrent violence of sexism, colonialism, and industrialization, revealing their shared intersection in aggressive masculinity and domination over women and nature. A cathartic collision between internal conflict and external circumstances, this piece invites an intimate, vulnerable conversation about the objectification of feminine persons and the environment across our material worlds, political regimes, and cultural imaginations.
