from October 12-18th CITY [scanned courtesy of UR’s Rush Rhees Library]
Rebecca Rafferty’s October 12-18th CITY article Emerging Artists: Generating beauty from busy lives includes a profile of Athesia Benjamin (SOTA, RIT, Professor at MCC).
You met Athesia several times during the Bernie Sanders campaign: on her appearance in a major campaign video and on her endorsement statement in the D & C.
And read Athesia’s sensitive essay on an experience with racial profiling.
Thanks, Rebecca, for drawing more attention to Athesia’s art.
In addition to Athesia’s sign displayed at a Ted Cruz rally at MCC, you also saw another of Athesia’s works, the unfinished “Fool’s Gold.” (below)
