The work showcased here spans multiple projects created by students enrolled in AED 225, Diversity, Pedagogy, and Visual Culture, an interdisciplinary general education course for non majors which introduces students to critical understandings of issues of diversity as they arise in various contexts and how diversity is defined in relation to visual culture. What you see here are Body Maps, Scores, and Arts-Based Research on a social issue of personal interest.
Body Maps
Body Mapping can be a form of self inquiry into identity and the complexities therein. The student artists considered themselves deeply- what to share, what to hide, what discoveries about self they chose to surface through their sustained process of making.
With the past year of my life dealing with covid and loss of my mother I’ve realized how short and precious life is. I want to look back on my life and have no regrets, I want to do all the things in life that bring me joy. When looking at my overall body map I think the artwork painted highlights my connection to the universe as well as my own spiritual awakening and journey. It also highlights my belief on how everything is connected from the grass beneath our feet to the birds flying overhead. I think my background has impacted my views on identity by making me open and aware to all the different possibilities. Not only being adopted but also growing up in a mixed household I struggled a lot in middle school and earlier years trying to fit in. As well as trying to find my place or purpose in the world. My parents have always accepted me and allowed me to be myself no matter the circumstances. It wasn’t until covid that I realized that I didn’t have to fit in and live to the expectations of others. That I could just be myself without any further explanation. Society has expectations for everything we do. Not only how we act but who we should hang out with, what we should eat, what we should look like, and the list goes on and on. With covid and being forced to be alone I was able to get out of my own head and stop overthinking everything. I feel that the body map helped me realize all the things I still carry with me in my day to day. It helped take a step back from all of it and helped me to live in the present moment. It helped me look at myself in a new light and be grateful for the experiences and life I have.

When I began adding images to my body map, I wanted to include aspects of my hometown, culture, and a few of my core beliefs since these are 3 facets of my life that truly define a big part of me. The background and the collage of abstract color and large bold words are some of the main aspects of my piece one might see when you first lay eyes on it. If you look closely enough, the maroon and tan border surrounding the body map is an extension of the same border inside of the body map itself. This concept is a representation that my identity does not solely include my physical self as it also encapsulates my environment and everything around me. When we focus on certain parts of my body map, the viewer is able to decipher parts of my life in a story line. On my right hand, you see strips of words/ phrases facing upwards toward my forearm. Some of these phrases are “dive”, “dream” and “beyond imagination”. This represents the beginning of an adventure: my childhood dreams. On the bottom right of my torso, there are images of cherry blossoms. Growing up, I occupied a social identity that was a historical target of oppression. My parents immigrated from China to the US in order to have a better future for themselves and the family that they were going to create. Therefore, my culture is a big part of who I am, and is something I identify with. In chinese culture, cherry blossoms signify beauty and female mystique which is why I wanted to include them in my body map. Furthermore, there is a map of China, a lady from chinese history, as well as a chinese soldier all in the same area. These images are part of my culture’s history that I was introduced to when I was little by my grandmother (puo puo) and grandfather (lao ye). I felt the importance of my heritage and my ancestor’s history which is why I added this collage to my body map. Although my parents had very humble beginnings, the life I am living now definitely puts me in a position of privilege. I had access to education, a place to live, and I was also provided with a sense of security and safety. When applying for college and when it was time to take the SAT, I had many resources given to me to aid these processes. Overall, I am satisfied with my life thus far and I hope that I can grow from my experiences and the changes that come with life and living. This body map I created essentially came together as I added more images, words, or paint strokes. I did not have a step by step plan to creating this map which is unusual of me. I personally am a planner. Not having procedures or instructions is something different than what I am used to. Thus, this piece has aspects of my emotions and feelings painted and glued into each picture which is in a way refreshing. This journey of creating my body map has allowed me to be in tune in who I am and who I want to be.

When I look at my body map, I think about all of the elements that make me, me. When creating my Body map, I chose to pull phrases from the “I Am” poem that I felt represented key aspects of my identity. While the left side of the Body Map focuses on the external and strong aspects of my identity, the right side of my Body Map focuses on my anxiety (which is more internal). The reason that I chose to unveil both my strengths and weaknesses is because of how I feel like we often get lost in only the external aspects of people in this society. While we all have strengths, we also all have interpersonal struggles that no one sees. I think that instead of glamorizing or idealizing one’s life over another, we should look at a person as a whole. Additionally, I also included blinds and images from my life shown underneath. The images shown beneath the blinds are aspects and moments in my life that I value and that are important to me. Interestingly though, not many people see what’s really important to me unless they really get to know me—that is why I included the phrase, “Look Past the Blinds.” Moreover, there is also this motif of flowers and vines throughout my Body Map. This repeated design gives insight into how I feel like we are constantly growing and changing throughout life.

Beginning from the bottom, full of colorful art pieces, beauty and comfort images that show my interests and bring me joy. This is a part of me, even though not as serious, its still what gives me joy and purpose in my life. Moving up the body my arms are the biggest issues plaguing my life. As a woman, facing sexism is not anymore new, especially being a woman who is on her way to get a degree, it is something that I have become more hyper aware of. From less opportunities, to being denied leaderships goals, to even tomes of voice and side comments. I am aware of the world may perceive me and therefore how they will treat me accordingly by their set rules. On my other hand, I speak about the immigration problem that plague so many people of my culture and loved ones. As a child of immigrants, I have seen first-hand how this effects people and families, that pain that they must experience every day. People who have never seen it tend to blame those people who have immigrated, legally or illegally, for their pain but no one really asks why those people do these sacrifices. As a child I typically taught not to talk about these issues with my Americans friends as it is a “taboo” topic, and it may cost my opportunity for political or racial reasons which is why the hand is placed over my mouth. In the center of my body, all the images and words begin to spiral with my soul to the words, “We Are Who We Are". At my core, I want acceptance for everyone not just myself, regardless of race, class, sexuality, or gender. add text here from reflection

Thinking back on it, the statement “I am me” is perfect because I feel like I actually do mentally tell myself that statement everyday to reassure myself that although my thoughts may sometimes feel like they’re consuming me, I will always be my own person with my own unique interests and personality and style and talents. I chose to write the statement in white paint going through the line representing my spine to display how important that statement is to me and how I feel like it, in a way, holds me up as a person. At this point my Body Map was nearly complete but I still felt like there was something missing. This was around the point that we were allowed to gaze at other students' work and after surveying everyone else's Body Maps, I was surprised to discover that they had all had pictures of some kind attached to their pieces, even pictures of themselves which ended up influencing me to start going through my gallery. I decided to use a couple plain selfies of myself showing off my style, printed them out, crumpled them up, and taped them on to the background. I was hoping the photos could show a realistic visual of the effort I put into my appearance and I crumbled them up to try and convey that my appearance doesn’t define who I am. Now, with my Body Map finally completed, I can say that when I look at it I feel sort of embarrassed by how serious I ended up making the subject matter compared to most other people. However, I also feel proud because I’ve always been scared of showing the flawed side of myself to others but I feel like I’ve somewhat accomplished that and am starting to learn to accept that that is also a side of myself and I shouldn’t hide it. My identities impact me daily in many ways. For example, my creative side impacts my appearance everyday and the sketches I make during class. I’m also impacted by my athletic side since I usually go for walks daily. I feel like my background doesn’t really impact my views on identity greatly since there was nothing really culturally diverse in the way I was raised compared to most American children. However, I do feel like I am more accepting of people and their different identities due to the fact that I know how disconnected my culture and background is from the way I grew up and can understand that you can’t stereotype people based on their ethnicity or their culture because everyone is their own person.

This is my body map and the main element or the first thought when people look at it is about my nationality. I used lots of pictures which represents Chinese culture. And I also want to introduce several Chinese culture through my body map. For facial part, I used the Chinese coins represent the eyes. In the ancient China, there are two type of currency: coins made by copper and the silver. In Chinese culture, when we want to decribe people who are greedy we will say that people’s eyes are full of money. Under the eyes, I used ancient Chinese human-shaped pottery figurines to express what does most chinese face looks like. This pottery are very famous around the world and its face was sculpted from a real person’s face. For the body part, I drew diagrams of human organs that are vital in Chinese medicine and use the line linked the picture of an ancient Chinese bronze sacrificial instrument and heart. For Chinese, sacrificial rituals are very serious and important to everyone. This is the best way we can remember those who have died and hope they will live on in our hearts forever. I used a photo of Chinese people eating together to represent the stomach. The Chinese food culture is reflected in this picture. Chinese people like to eat with family and friends around a huge round table with a rotating round tray. In this way, everyone can easily eat all the dishes on the table. Wine culture is an important part of Chinese food culture. If you don't drink while eating, it will make people feel that the meal is not grand and lively enough. So I wired this picture to the part of the liver, because we all know that alcohol can damage our liver. On the two arms in the body map I want to express some other traditional Chinese culture. For the arm on the left I used a picture of a terracotta figurine. The arms represent strength, and the image of this figurine is a well-known military general in ancient China. People usually print his photo on red paper and stick it on the gate during Chinese New Year. That means hoping to have him under his watch throughout the year. On the left hand I have pasted some ancient Chinese characters, representing ancient Chinese art works. For the right hand, I posted the picutres which represent family.There is a Chinese proverb that says: The most important and closest people are as important to you as your hands and feet. The body part is mainly my personal introduction. I don't think most people in Chinese culture can express this directly. I think it is quite different from American Chinese culture can express this directly. I think it is quite different from American Chinese don't tell him his mistake directly. And even if the employee did something wrong, the boss will only remind him by hint. This indirect expression of inner thoughts seems to me like living with a mask. The bottom part of the body is about my experience: I grew up in China and then went to California to study. And there is a line that connects my study abroad experience, the picture representing my parents, and the word investment. My parents spent a lot of money sending me to the United States to go to school, which was an educational investment for them. In the background of the body map I used an ancient Chinese poem and its English translation. I hope to express in this way that my coming to school in the United States is a friendly exchange of Chinese and American cultures. There are five red Chinese characters in the background of the final body map. Although they look different, it is the same word in Chinese calligraphy. Represents blessing and good luck. And red is also very important in Chinese traditional culture: red is the most important part of Chinese New Year, because in Chinese legends, a scary monster will appear every New Year, but this monster is afraid of two things - Bright colors and loud noises. Therefore, during the New Year, the Chinese will write the word on red paper and stick it around the house and set off firecrackers. After many years of evolution, red has also become a color that symbolizes auspiciousness.

I tried to have a balance of my past, present and future. I wanted to make it convey the person who I became and all the influences that I have in my life. Coming from a diverse family it is not uncommon for others to look down upon me and my family. We are unlike the rest being half Asian and half Hispanic, and it's not to say that I’m embarrassed about where I come from, but it's two different cultures mixed into one. And there are a lot of expectations from both sides to act a certain way. Depending on the situation my identity and background can have a negative or positive impact on my daily life. It sometimes causes me to doubt myself and sometimes gives me a sense of feeling that I don’t belong to a certain setting. A huge part that makes me who I am is my father, although he didn’t exactly raise me because he was always at work he was always around for the major milestones as well as taking us on vacation every summer. He had made it his goal to make sure that we had everything we ever needed even if it meant working night shifts at work if it meant he'd get to see us every morning to go to school. Although my dad isn’t here anymore physically, I know that he is still with me close to my heart. My body map pretty much represents the person that I have become because of my dad. When looking at my body map we can see a lot of words and pictures from my past, some of the words hold a lot of meaning to me. Such as “remember” which symbolizes 9/11 for me, “just getting started” which means that you haven’t seen anything yet, “Live” live like every day is your last, and “back in time” for obvious reasons is that I wish I could have one more moment with my dad. To sum it all up, and going back to my identity and my background, I love where I come from and I wouldn’t want to change anything for the world. If anything, I feel like it makes me unique. I love that I am able to speak more than one language even though I’m not fluent. Speaking Spanish to my grandma whenever I see her, or even ordering food and talking to my other grandparents in Cantonese. I think it's a gift and a pleasure to be brought up in a family that is so diverse where we are able to bring a little bit of each culture in our lives. Despite all the discrimination we all might face on a daily basis because we look different from the rest. But it is important to know that it's okay to be different, and that it's okay that no one likes you, because at the end of the day no one else matters except yourself and those who love you for who you are and not based on what you have to afford them.

Scores
Students developed a score as a method of understanding the land and its eco-systems centering the movement and the body as the mediator and resource for experience, imagination, and knowing. This assignment is based off of the work of iLand Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art Nature and Dance and their scores featured in “Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art Nature and Dance: A Field Guide to iLanding”. Students chose a system, site, or element of an environment to observe thinking about what the various forces at work in this site and how they could play with it to make the forces more visible. They considered how they might attune participants of the score to thinking about power, access, and place by creating a set of instructions for participants to experience.
Arts-Based Research
Students conducted Arts-based Research based on a selected personal interest and directly engaged with or expanded on diversity and/or visual culture concepts explored in class. Through their ideas, they researched supporting artists connected to themes, and represented their ideas through their own art making.

I really wanted to show our impact on the world when it comes to climate change. A huge part of our detrimental impact on the planet is our dumping of trash and waste. I photographed some trash I had laying around but in a beautiful, abstract way.
I photographed things like bottle caps, wrappers, plastic bags, and glass close up to try and take away the familiarity of the objects.
I really enjoy taking photos of normal objects but making them look abstract.
The trash I took photos of can take up to 500 years to fully decompose. This is bad because we keep making things and trashing them and it just piles up.
Even some of the ways we try to melt down and reuse these items emits gasses into the atmosphere that are not good for our planet.
It is super important for us to switch to reusable items or biodegradable packaging to help combat this.

Jolisma Sandoval "A Mexican American's Day at College"
My art piece is an audio piece depicting a call between me and my mother. In the background you can faintly hear a song that I listened to growing up as a child, “Yo Quisiera” by Reik. The titled translated is called “I Want,” I chose this song because this is sense of longing that I wish to commemorate in this audio. During this call you can hear sounds of memories of me with my family. The audios vary from sitting at dinner with them to party’s and events we’ve all attended and as well as just video they have sent me while I am away. The conversation between me and my mother is quite standard, a simple “How are you?”, “Anything new?”, not necessarily a super interesting story but you can only hear my voice. I chose not necessarily a super interesting story but you can only hear my voice. I chose this because in a sense I wanted to keep the audio slightly aloof, because my mother is there on the other line, but she is far. The same way was close yet separate and once could say the same about being Mexican American. y audio shows a mundane part of both me and my mother’s lives, it’s not something that is necessarily super impactful which is where I think this piece thrives because it's not special, it simply is. It an everyday moment, it’s simply a girl calling her mom, missing home, and reminiscing. Jolisma Sandoval
As soon as I learned that we were allowed to create an art piece as our final project, I was super excited. My mind started overflowing with ideas for what to create and because I felt like there were so many options, I wasn’t exactly sure where to start. However, once I started doing more research on the topic of how women are objectified and over-sexualized in general (but more often in media), I came closer to a consensus on what I wanted my artwork to look like. I learned what the term “male gaze” meant and discovered more about the sad reality most women face while living in our society where if you don’t have what’s deemed as the ideal features and body type, you’re essentially deemed as less than others. While making my art piece, I knew I wanted the piece to show a girl that doesn’t match any of society’s beauty standards and would be deemed unfit for how a woman is supposed to look nowadays, so I gave her stretch marks, facial hair, acne, eyebags, belly rolls, and leg and arm hair. I tried to make her appear insecure and forlorn because although she may not fit modern society's standard of beauty, she’s still a girl all the same and isn’t some disgusting creature. However, I choose to use color when drawing her “flaws” because I did want to draw attention to them, due to the fact that those aspects are the only reason she’s being ostracized. In addition, to exemplify what many people expect from women, I included words/phrases I’ve heard from others online that many people will actually say about and to women who appear like the girl in the picture. But I needed somewhere to write the words so they wouldn’t look out of place in the piece so I decided it would be cool and, in a way, symbolic to put the words/phrases on a scarf/ribbon to show that the girl is being choked by society’s expectations. Although overall, the piece is supposed to represent how women are shamed for not meeting modern society's standards of beauty and, because of that, are led to believe they are abnormal.

My artwork starts with a map with dots corresponding to fatal police shootings of civilians in the United States between 2015 and 2022. My intent is to humanize every one of the 8000 shootings on the map. I do this by allowing the viewer to click on any dot and find a unique song created by an algorithm using the name of the person shot as the seed (a number fed into a random generator). Instead of every person just being a dot this artwork makes them a unique song. I hope this humanizes them and thus makes it easier to comprehend the scale of civilian shootings by police in the US. I similarly used data from Washington post a key part of my art. My piece combines design and creativity done by humans(me) with data presented by computers. This type of data visualization art has become very popular, and I like how it uses the best of modern technology to make impact on human emotions.

Directions: This artwork is interactive. Click on the button below to view the map. Expand the map using the top right button. Then click on the individual dots. A new window will open with an AI generated music score titled with the victim's name. Each 'song' is named for the person who died by police gun violence. Note that you will have to go back to the map window and repeat the steps to continue interacting with it.
Children can lose their innocence in many ways. Some grow up in secure households and are able to build their knowledge in a safe and secure environment. Others are not so lucky and are subject to abuse, neglect, homelessness, and government systems. According to the Child Welfare and Foster Care Statistics, 224,396 children are in the foster care system per year. The kids that are adopted from foster care are usually younger, so the older they get the less likely they are able to get out of the foster care system. In order to live a safe and secure life, children need to be exposed to healthy environments. In most cases, the government systems we put our children in are not always able to fulfill children’s psychological and security needs. When making my piece, I strived to incorporate the emotion of children in government systems, or children who have experienced traumatic life experiences at a young age. The main symbols in my portrait are a turtle necklace, and a flower evolving into a butterfly. The reason there is a turtle necklace on the girl is to show a symbol of knowledge and wisdom. As one grows up, they learn new things and go through unique life experiences. Each mistake or achievement made is knowledge gained. As they gain more knowledge, they become familiar with the world around them, thus lessening their purity and increasing their corruption to the world they live in. I also included the flower transitioning to a butterfly because a flower usually represents innocence and butterflies represent change, endurance, and hope. This transition is symbolizing the deeper meaning of my portrait which is when one goes through life and its obstacles, our innocence shifts and it becomes a situation of endurance and courage as well as change.

The purpose of my project is to show the relationship amongst human impact and climate change. Although there are a lot of issues that affect climate change, the issues that I chose to focus on, are concentrated areas on our planet. In the poster image that I shared, I drew an image of a brain with different parts of the country embedded within it. Additionally, I presented a portion of the lower part of North America and the Upper part of South America. The red dots that cover this space represent damage done by forest fires to our earth. Moreover, the dots are placed in certain parts of the brain that need to place attention to, in order to solve this problem.
Africans using their own identity and traditions to express themselves, free of references to western culture, is a continuation of decolonization as it aims to remove the negative rhetoric that we hear repeated to Africans. For my artwork, I decided to incorporate these values of decolonization, by proudly expressing my African identity through a hoodie design for my brand 3Cultured. This idea of being 3Cultured is perfectly encompassed by this quote by Charmaine Chanakira, “I am not just one thing, I am all but none.” Due to that, I wanted to be able to bring different pieces of the cultures that have influenced my identity together, as without portraying all those I wouldn’t truly be portraying my identity. I decided to incorporate the two different faces drawn in a more “African” style to portray the two different African countries that represent me (Senegal, and Burkina Faso). Additionally, I decided to put the writing in English as to portray the effect that American culture has had on my life, as I have been living here since 2018. Finally, I added a plane as well in my design for the future possible countries that may become a part of my identity.

I proceeded with a poem I made about mental health and how it is akin to wearing misfitting shoes and sometimes the hardest thing to do is get away from the pain. Sometimes when you struggle mentally, some stay in the pain because it is familiar, and when you make that step it can change your life.

Tyler Grosso
I want to bring light to a rather overshadowed topic, not only the history of racism in the music industry but racism that still exists today in the industry. A contemporary artist that has experienced this and would be a good representation of all black creators in the music industry in light of this topic is Tyler, The Creator. Tyler is an African-American artist that has been making experimental music of pop, rock, hip-hop, psychedelic, and other genres for several years. The photo I chose to create stems from one of Tyler, The Creator’s album covers. The album is called “Flower Boy”. Seen here:
I chose to keep most of the art while adding my own symbolic changes to represent racism in the music industry and the fight for change. For a little bit of background knowledge, in 2020 Tyler the Creator won the Grammy for best rap album for his album “IGOR”. Despite winning, he was very upset because he claimed it was not a rap album and that he got pooled into that category because of his race and that his actual musical creation was heavily overlooked. Since then, the term “urban” was also removed from the Grammys due to his outspokenness on the topic. This is why I chose an album of his and him as a contemporary artist to represent black artists who have experienced racism. The first change I made was I altered the color of the sky. The original sky was a very warm mix of orange and yellow but I wanted to cool that down with a more calm mix of blueand purple which represent less of a bright and happy scene given the climate of racism not only Tyler has dealt with but other black artists. There were a few clouds in the original album cover, but I decided to cover the entire sky with clouds blocking off the sun. This represents the barriers to progression that a lot of black music creators have been vocal about over the years. Whether that is unequal representation, unfair record deals, or other forms of systemic racism, there's definitely barriers to progression that are racially driven. In fact, “86% [of black artists] say they have faced barriers to their music career because of their race” (BBC News). However, in the top-left we do see the original yellow sky, which represents the fight for change and the future of change, that when the clouds move away the sunlight can get through again. Another symbolic change I made was to the flowers near Tyler's feet. I decided to dull out the colors of some of the flowers, representing that the fl African-American creators can't show their true selves in their music if they are categorizedowers can't fully grow and show their vibrant colors just like inappropriately and overlooked. There are also some flowers that still have vibrant colors and do not appear dull or wilted. I chose to do this to represent the unfairness in the industry. The flowers that are bright and vibrant are the exact same as the flowers that are not, but they can still grow and show their colors. This represents how different groups of people who are all making their own unique art and exerting themselves through music are all the same on the inside but don’t get treated like so on the outside. This also ties back to the sunlight and clouds at the top of the picture, because if the sunlight gets through again (change, reforms, equal opportunities), then all the flowers will be able to grow vibrantly (regardless of racial or ethnic configuration).
"The Pyrrhic Dice.”

Climate Change is one of the most pressing issues our world faces today. In the wake of Co2 emissions, inadequate farming practices, deforestation, and pollution, our planet is slowly dying. This is due to the continuing blanket of greenhouse gasses being trapped in our atmosphere, allowing our planet to continue warming up. It has been scientifically proven that this issue is solely due to the actions of humans. For hundreds of years we have been littering, manufacturing, tilling, and burning fossil fuels which all cause this issue. If we do not drastically change our actions immediately, the planet will continue to degrade, causing water levels to rise, animal extinction, and unhealthy air to name a few. To better our planet, we as humans have a responsibility to limit the discharge of greenhouse gasses and instead opting for renewable sources that do not have such negative effects on the environment. These renewable resources, such as wind turbines and dams, have vital characteristics that have the ability to transform our planet.
For my art piece, I decided to make a “trash planet” that encompasses a symbolic meaning of what the planet might come to if we do not change our actions immediately. The planet you see above contains pieces of trash I gathered from around my neighborhood. I then pinned the trash to a sphere to create a trash planet; meant to symbolize what Earth may come to.
Music has a way of bringing people together no matter where they come from. Musical artists are able to express certain struggles and divisiveness through their music itself. This is the reason many people are so passionate about music within the sense that they can relate to certain lyrics or ideas in songs. Many famous music icons come from all around the world. Through their music they are able to create a connection with the people that listen to them. Rock artist Jimi Hendrix was able to spread his powerful message through his rendition of The National Anthem. Performing this song was an act of protest and expression. Buffalo Springfield is another well known artist because of his song, “For What It's Worth” about the Sunset Strip curfew riots and young people coming together to stick up against the police. I learned through my research that through the art of music, it has a strong impact of expression on different problems of the world. It brings certain groups together to show we should all be one working and helping one another, rather than choosing the violence that has been so prevalent.
