 rsity’s Master of Fine Arts candidates—Hannah Bays\, De-Graft Boateng\
 , Bubly Barna\, Noelle Hemrich\, Emmanuel Osei Bonsu\, and Fatemeh Shekarf
 aroush.\n\nEach piece in In The Making captures a moment of transformation

 covered.\n\nVisitors are invited to meet the artists during the reception

 ichly symbolic imagery\, Hogin examines how stories—myths\, media\, scie
 nce\, and politics—shape our understanding of the world and ourselves.\n

 led “Wild Things: Monkey Brains\, Mad Bunnies\, and Other Mutants” at 
 5:50 p.m. in ART 100\, where she will discuss her creative strategies\, sy
 mbolism\, and three decades of work exploring the intersections of emotion
