The project \u201cWhites Only,\u201d advised by Owen Smith, won the arts category award for graduate students. The winning project is a &#8220;collaborative video performance\/installation that touches on white privilege and assimilation to white culture and systemic racism in America.&#8221; Along with collaborators Derek Smith and Stanley Levitsky, the project is an art installation and video performance that &#8220;illustrates how certain racist behaviors are deeply integrated and accepted within our societal norms.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Soule&#8217;s second submission is no less intriguing. Titled &#8220;The Journey of Perseverance\u2014A Rover\u2019s Perspective\u201d the project is a large-scale art and science installation series. It will showcase a personified visual narrative of Perseverance Rover\u2019s perspective and experience traveling through space and on Mars. Soule&#8217;s mentor on this project is the director of the Versant Power Astronomy Center and Maynard Jordan Planetarium, Shawn Laatsch.<\/p>\n<p>As a graduate student in the Intermedia MFA and accounting MBA programs at the University of Maine, Soule has learned technical and art-making skills that will help create five interactive installations. The installations are designed in alignment with NASA\u2019s strategic plan to engage the public in space exploration. Her work will feature a series of interdisciplinary art pieces, including videos and animations projected onto the Versant Power Astronomy Center and Maynard Jordan Planetarium at 91¸£Àû, a sculpture with accompanying artist book, educational webinars and workshops, a \u201cMars Mission Ambassador Passport\u201d, and set of artist multiples, which are series of identical art pieces for distribution. Soule shares a video presentation overview of this project at the 91¸£Àû Student Symposium \u201821 and hopes to complete the installations by August 2021.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anna Soule presented two separate projects at the 91¸£Àû Student Symposium 2021.
