Welcome to Mosaic, a euphonium recital and showcase of intersectional art presented by Nicole Guccione. As artists, many of us create socially conscious artwork and use art as a means for social justice and exploration of identity. This event serves to highlight all of the beautiful ways in which artists may incorporate the theme of Intersectionality into their artwork. A live performance of Nicole’s senior recital of euphonium repertoire written by marginalized composers will be paired with a gallery of artworks contributed by several CMU students. This art showcase will include gender-bending costume design, drag art, a collage of written activism, body-neutral visual art, agroecological architectural design, queer art, and much more. This event is supported by CMU FEMME, MOSAIC Conference on Intersectionality, and the Center for Student Diversity and Inclusion. You won’t want to miss this afternoon of inspiration and vision!
