I was so happy to be able to share my work with some new faces and for it to continue to be received so well by my classmates. The feedback that I got afterwards was incredibly affirming&#8211;it was a valuable and meaningful experience for my participants.   Everything didn&#8217;t go perfect (I forgot to press record the first time around, whoops lol), but I decided to just go with it, and not be frantic about it. I would love another opportunity to dig the work just a little bit more because I feel that there is still more there to excavate.  <br \/><br \/>This class, and this project in particular, has been inspiring in my personal research practice, and I am looking for ways to deepen these kinds of intermedia installation explorations and how they might inform the way I am crafting my MFA thesis. <br \/><br \/>I am extremely grateful for this experience. Thank you Oded and Alex for being tremendous supporters of a work that wasn&#8217;t about you. That doesn&#8217;t happen often. <br \/><br \/>Go tell a Black woman thank you. We deserve to be celebrated. <br \/><br \/>I will leave you with some images from my last exhibition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1
