Tucked in Knowlton Hall’s Banvard Gallery sits a quaint display of fabric, projections and transparencies.
In modern times, the idea of girlhood is increasingly categorized by the relationships that exist between producers, consumers and objects. Designer and LeFevre Fellow Samiha Meem aims to blur the boundaries that define feminine existence and experience through the “Girlroom” exhibition, which will be on display in Knowlton Hall’s Banvard Gallery until July 15. Every piece on display, from textiles to inked surfaces, seeks to emphasize the complexity of a feminine identity.
Among such sensory enigmas, students gathered around the bed — a central piece of the exhibit — to hear Meem discuss some of her art’s core concepts alongside Rayne Fisher-Quann and Andrew Economos Miller.
