The Hite Art Institute held its opening reception of their Fall 2021 BFA Thesis Exhibtion Thursday in the gallery of Schneider Hall from 5-7. The exhibition features artworks of this year’s Bachelor’s of Fine Arts students, in various mixed media ranging from traditional painting, mixed media, scultpure, and audiovisual. Each artist’s set of artworks focused on specific themes and motifs.
Focusing on themes of identity, image, womanhood, societal expectations, and bodily expectations, Anatéa Cahill juxtaposed food and product advertising with imagery of the artist herself that highlights the embedded themes and expectations within society that criticize and control the female body.
