Shape Note Singing
Described as spiritual, joyful, powerful, and raucous, Shape Note (or Sacred Harp) singing is a traditional American style of four-part, a capella, community singing popular in the United States before the Civil War. This style still thrives across the US and in the UK, with strongholds in the American South and New England. It is called Shape Note because the notes of the scale are indicated by distinctive shapes and names.

The Magic of Reality: Cameron Visiting Artist Lecture by Bernadette Despujols
Rooted in personal memory and political transformation, my work explores identity, motherhood, migration, and the blurred boundaries between the real and the magical. Through intimate portraits and narratives drawn from my Venezuelan upbringing, my work reflects on nostalgia, displacement, and the spiritual traditions that shape Latin American life. I seek to weave together autobiographical and collective histories; where the personal becomes political, and where womanhood, nature, and creation converge in both tenderness and resistant.
