Plugged In: The Playlist of the Pandemic

Our exhibit is centered around the art of music because practically everyone can appreciate it during this age. In a time when music has never been more accessible, it is interesting to see what listeners gravitated towards during the difficult times of the pandemic. Furthermore, the music that was released within the past year is representative of the times we have been living in and everything that has had light shed on during the pandemic. We wanted to illustrate this and introduce people to new music through our exhibit. At the end of the viewing, viewers can leave with a new song to add to their library, along with exposure to a new artist they might not have been familiar with before.

Cracking jokes in comedy is more than it seems. It can comment on society for conversations through an artistic form of communication. This idea is reflected through Bo Burnham’s “Inside.”

Kissena Park’s Korean War Memorial

The Korean War is often referred to as “The Forgotten War”, but is this reference a disingenuous representation of historical events? In this project, I examine Kissena Park’s Korean War Memorial and how it can be further improved in order to pay homage to the soldiers from Queens who lost their lives during the war without ignoring the war from Korea’s perspective.
