    Recycling the Apocalypse: Resurrection, Adaption, and Sacred Fragments on Medieval Iceland
    On medieval Iceland, which visitors conceptualized as the very mouth of hell, drastic environmental change and resource scarcity was not a sign of apocalypse, but a daily lived experience. The island is subject to extreme weather and geothermal activity that renders any material production, particularly architecture, deeply unstable.

    The Magic of Reality: Cameron Visiting Artist Lecture by Bernadette Despujols

    Sponsored by:
    Studio Art

    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.
