Our SMFA community includes faculty, staff, students, and alumni who are accomplished working artists, scholars, researchers, and activists. Below is a running listing of some of their many recent exhibitions, awards, publications, and other notable accomplishments.

Professor of the Practice Ethan Murrow has three new large scale paintings in the show History Repeats at Winston Wachter Fine Art in Seattle, WA through March 19.

Professor of the Practice Bonnie Donohue mounted an exhibition of works in progress at Kingston Gallery in Boston through February 27. The work is extracted from an artist book she is drafting with a working title of Colonial Footsteps: A Radical Atlas of Vieques, Puerto Rico. In March, Bonnie will be part of a group exhibition at Kingston Gallery entitled Boundaries/Borders.

Professor of the Practice Anthony Romero co-authored a book entitled Lastgaspism: Art and Survival in the Age of Pandemic, which includes contributions from Professor of the Practice Kelli Morgan and Lecturer Erin Genia. Lastgaspism is a collaborative effort to attempt to make sense of the present moment by engaging with the ecological, political, public health, and spiritual crises of our time in terms of breath, both literal and allegorical. A related exhibition, also entitled Lastgaspism, will be on view at Drexel University's Pearlstein Gallery from March 31 – May 25. This book grew out of a previous collaborative project, Organize Your Own: The Politics and Poetics of Self Determination Movements, the catalog for which was edited by Anthony Romero.

Professor of the Practice Jane Gillooly's film, Where the Pavement Ends, is being broadcast on February 8 at 8 pm on America Reframed, World Channel and is streaming now here. Where The Pavement Ends transports viewers to the Missouri towns of Kinloch and Ferguson, examining the shared histories and deep racial divides affecting both. The film looks at the lasting wounds of segregation and reminds viewers of the countless American neighborhoods, separated by mere blocks, whose residents live worlds apart.
