Living With Art: Olusanya Ojikutu

Creating context and conversation through a collection of classical and contemporary African art

By displaying contemporary works by African and diasporic artists with objects of historical measure into a setting for conversation, gatherings, and family, the Ojikutus have built a life around art devoid of the artificial distinctions that most museums have perpetuated for centuries

Art AND: Kris Fulton

Kris Fulton of Sophomore Coffee on hospitality, inspiration from 'Cheers,' caramel macchiatos, and more

Fulton wants Sophomore to be a place for people to have experiences—some of them hopefully a little more profound than my remembrance of being sweaty and late—a place where friends can gather and conversations can be sparked.

Jonathan Monaghan, 2021 Sondheim Finalist

Monaghan’s themes of power, technology, and rampant consumerism speak to the unique challenges of today’s attention economy

The wolves feel like stand-ins for Americans, full of desire for the traditional trappings of empire while simultaneously feeling empty and repulsed by the barren world that surrounds us.

Visual Art

Lavar Munroe, 2021 Sondheim Finalist

In this collection of work, Munroe focuses on his relationship to Black single fatherhood, a multidimensional and intimate subject

The scenes are distorted and dreamlike, and Munroe knows just when to stop and let the material do the work.

Visual Art

Hoesy Corona, 2021 Sondheim Finalist

Through performance and wearable sculpture, Corona examines themes such as othering, fear of death, white supremacy, and the climate crisis

Each piece selected and displayed within the walls of the Walters—an institution with its own admitted history of othering and white supremacy—reveals the evolution of an artistic practice by a multidimensional creator making multidimensional work.
