BCNM Around the Web December 2021
Check out the great work of our students, faculty, and alumni around the web this past December 2021!
Edgar Fabián Frías
Edgar lectured at The Time is Now on Contemporary Art Tarotscopes. Edgar pulled two tarot cards per each astrological sign and used contemporary art to explain/expand upon the meanings of the cards. They guided people to tap into their intuition and shared their own interpretations of the cards and the contemporary art works shown.
Edgar was selected to create new work for TheyFriend! Check out the incredible art here.
