Office Hours: Toward Alternative Futures Art Exhibition Opening Reception
April 14, 2026, 7:00-8:30pm
CMC 202
Join us for the opening of an art exhibition of works from the permanent collection of USF's Comtemporary Art Museum and curated by students in Dr. Jocelyn Marshall's Critical Perspectives and Contemporary Art course.
The exhibition imagines new possibilities through acts of refusal and redefinition. The selected artwork centers themes of visibility, embodiment, and resistance by exploring how marginalized communities navigate oppressive societal systems.
Office hours are typically a time for asking questions, testing ideas, and thinking aloud. Situated within academia, this communal space becomes an active ground for dialogue and reflection. At a moment when the future feels uncertain, this exhibition turns the shared space into an exploration of creative practices vital to imagining and building alternative futures. As student curators, we invite you to join us in questioning, reimagining, and reshaping together a more just world.
Refreshments will be provided.
