Freshman art history students Bethany Hill and Elizabeth Chang voluntarily took on the roles of Exhibition Designers in a project to curate African art in honor of Black History Month.
The pieces used in the Arts West exhibit “Obscurity in Plain Sight,” which opened Feb. 8, came from Elon's African Art Collection, which was donated to the university.
Hill and Chang spent two months going through more than 100 pieces to make careful selections for their Fred Wilson-inspired exhibition, which features masks, jewelry, photographs and other art pieces symbolizing the importance of diversity of geographic and ideological influences on campus.
