Aaron Hughes Speaker thursday

Hello faculty,

Just a reminder, the Aaron Hughes lecture is tomorrow (thursday) at 12:15 in Alfond Auditorium in the MFA.

Please encourage your students to attend. Aaron is a very smart, powerful speaker and a young artist students may be able to relate to. I've talked to some of you who have students who are vets. Aaron requested that we reach out to any students vets as he would like to work with them.

It's free and open to the public, but students do need to grab a free ticket at the Fenway entrance on their way in.

Thank you so much,

Steve

Aaron Hughes is an artist, Iraq War veteran, and lead organizer with Iraq Veterans Against The War.

Aaron is available to meet with students and do a workshop during his visit. He asked us to specifically welcome any students who may be veterans or family of veterans. If you are interested, please email steve.lambert@smfa.edu

Aaron Hughes served in the Illinois Army National Guard from 2000 to 2006 and was deployed for fifteen months to "Operation Iraqi Freedom" in 2003/2004 with the 1244th Transportation Company from North Riverside, IL. On his return he began to use art as a tool to confront issues of dehumanization, militarism, and occupation. In 2009 he received an MFA in Art Theory and Practice from Northwestern University. Today Aaron is the curator and chair of the Art Committee at the National Veterans Art Museum and Organizing Team Leader for Iraq Veterans Against the War, where he has worked on such projects as Warrior Writers, Combat Paper, Drawing For Peace, Operation First Casualty, Winter Soldier, the Demilitarized University, and Operation Recovery.

Subject: Internship Opportunity
To: bonnie.donohue@smfa.edu


Dear Professor Donohue:

I am hoping you can help me find a student-photographer who might be interested in an internship/work-study opportunity with our non-profit. This is great opportunity for a student who is looking to build his/her portfolio by working with us. We are looking for someone who will provide services to support our marketing efforts and events. The photographer will take pictures of all of College Bound’s programs to be used in the organization’s annual report, website and collateral and will also be available to take day of photos for fundraising and marketing events throughout the year. The photographer will be employed as a contractor and work under the direct supervision of the Director of Development. College Bound Dorchester will provide photo credit on all collateral. This is a great opportunity to showcase work and contribute to College Bound’s mission—to equip Dorchester student with the attitude, skills and experience to graduate from college (www.collegebounddorchester.org). Rate of pay will be $25/hour, with an estimated 20-30 hours available throughout the year. Additional hours may be available.

I am most grateful for any help or suggestions you can provide.

Best,

Manuela

Hi All,

I am scheduled to show on Tuesday but realized I will probably not have my film back from color services. If anyone else feels they would be ready to show on Tuesday the slot will be available.

Have a great week!
