The Spectacle, Revenge, and Rebirth of the Violent and Victimized Woman
Get PDFThis project examines how female characters are utilized in crime films beyond the norms of the victim. My aim is to analyze the different portrayals of strong female characters who engage in forms of violence in ways that disrupt essentialist notions of woman-as-victim. In addition to closely analyzing the framing of women's violent acts on-screen, I will also examine how the "violent woma" archetype that began to emerge in the 1980s promises certain feminist and queer political possibilities for the crime film genre.Purchase College SUNYCinema StudiesBachelor of ArtsFabian, Rachel C

Between Worlds: Bending the rules of art
Get PDFThe thesis of my project explores the duality of combing different art mediums into one. Growing up as a painter/sculptor, I didn't have much knowledge on graphic design till I got to college and have challenged myself on how to combine all the mediums I enjoy using and creating a project that reflects my art practice. In this project I will be making a cookbook that explores what it's like to be between worlds of culture in regards to food. How food from other cultures can bring people together and share their cultural experiences with the dishes. Within the cookbook, there will be paintings that represent the meals the way I experienced it coming from a dual cultural background with a sculpture of an abstract bookstand holding the book up and personal to the reader.Purchase College SUNYVisual ArtsBachelor of Fine ArtsSamara, Timothy J
Loaded For Bear
Get PDFMy work is driven by the pursuit of understanding raw, unfiltered human emotion. Emotion that exists before language, articulation, and even before conscious recognition. I am focusing on the moments that live in the space between action and realization. Redefining the term "emotional labor."
Unlike its traditional definition, I define "emotional labor" as the brain's state of pure feeling. When thought has paused, the body becomes the voice of the emotion. These are the moments when you are not thinking "I am sad," but simply are sadness.
Through sculpture, performance, and printmaking, I create physical manifestations of these internal states. When words fail, these sensations speak. Sculpture becomes a vessel for emotional honesty. Metal, a medium often viewed as cold or rigid, allows me to confront these emotional spaces with physical intensity. Its resistance mirrors my own internal struggle, and its strength reflects the resilience born from vulnerability. My work is rooted in personal experience of grief, trauma, intimacy, support, anger, memory, and aims to evoke universal truths.
In Yearning For Support, I build a structure where every limb must hold the others for the piece to stand, representing how our memories of love and loss scaffold our emotional stability. In Defeat, I confront the aftermath of sexual violence from the perspective of an AFAB body, using castings of my own form to expose the hidden decay that trauma leaves behind. Sunk Cost Fallacy investigates the toxic devotion I have to my art practice. A love that nourishes and damages me in equal measure.
I believe that confronting discomfort creates space for empathy and understanding. Inspired by artists like Valie Export, I use my own body as both subject and material to challenge the viewer and to reclaim emotional narratives often silenced or minimized. My art asks the viewer to pause, feel, and recognize that emotion is not always something we can speak, but it is something we can touch, carry, and share.
At its core, my practice is about survival through expression. I create not only to process my own experiences, but to help others recognize their emotions as valid, physical, and shared. My pieces are reminders: that you are not alone in your pain, that memory is a source of support, and that feeling deeply is both a burden and a gift.Purchase College SUNYSculptureBachelor of Fine ArtsGilmore, Katherin
Triggering Change: The Impact of Police Violence on Civil Rights Organizing in the 1960s Southeast Region
Get PDFThis paper explores the pivotal role of policing in the Southeastern United States during the 1960s and its direct influence on the rise and intensification of the Civil Rights Movement. The study examines how aggressive and often violent police actions/responses acted as a catalyst for civil rights activism. It analyzes the ways in which local and state law enforcement, often aligned with segregationist interests, used force, intimidation, and unjust arrests to suppress peaceful protest. These harsh responses, widely publicized through emerging media coverage, not only exposed systemic injustice to a national and global audience but also galvanized public support and increased pressure on federal institutions to enact change. By drawing a direct line between police conduct and the mobilization of civil rights efforts, this paper highlights how police violence inadvertently fueled one of the most transformative social movements in American history.Purchase College SUNYHistoryBachelor of ArtsHallote, Rache
