Fray, written by Julia Bryan-Wilson, is more than research or nonfiction text. It tells the story about a struggling time for the victims and families of the AIDS epidemic mainly through the AIDS Quilt. The text itself can be dense at times but using marginalia helps guide the reading and make connections that may …

ART3110 – Final Post for Volunteering
Although my volunteering time was brief, it was enjoyable and I plan to return to The Pasadena Playhouse when they begin their next play in February. As I have mentioned before, the volunteering itself can be lacking. All of the people I volunteered with were kind and I saw some of the same faces at …
ART3110 – Volunteering Experience Post #2
My experiences at the Pasadena Playhouse have been fun and knowledgeable. Although not directly involved in the play itself, I have learned a great deal about the production, acting, and background that makes this show so great. My tasks yesterday were very similar to what I have been doing but I had an additional task …

ART3110 – Protest Response

ART3110 – Protest Proposal
PPP is meant to get people involved in what they believe in by allowing people to share their stories. What we still need to know is how to best implement our idea. This will be worked on further in our next workday. The greatest resources we can use right now are our time and connections …
ART3110 – Hashtag Activism
A movement that really caught my eye was #HeForShe. This movement is a gender equality campaign designed to bring men into the fold by encouraging them to stick up for women’s rights. On the website it states, “Men like you are not just part of the gender equality conversation, you are part of the solution.” …
