SASS IS SEEKING ART AND WRITING FOR BODIES WEEK 2017!
The Bodies Week Gallery is not all about photos. SASS wants your* paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and writings etc. for Bodies Week. Bodies Week is an annual SASS tradition that aims to address the varied ways in which we relate to our bodies-this includes the various mediums through which we express ourselves. We are interested in the ways our identities affect our relationships to our bodies ranging from physical & mental health to gender and racial identities. Feel free to get political. Photographs, writings, artwork, and club/organization tabling will be featured at the upcoming Bodies Week Exhibition at the end of Bodies Week on February 25th, 2017. All students are welcome and encouraged to participate! Please email mcblair@knox.edu by February 21st at 11:59PM to sign up or with questions.
*As a rule, SASS does not include names along with submissions to Bodies Week. This is done to make participants more comfortable participating and not discredit you in any way. You are welcome to verbally point out what is yours.
