Your girl is entering into her sophomore year at @artspacenc! Though there is no way to summarize all of the exhibitions, programs, pot lucks, residencies, studio visits, essays and interns, I attempted to do so in this carousel. Swipe for a little taste of my last 365 days. And a huge thank you to my team, community, family and friends for supporting me in this journey.
