Family keepsakes, forgotten objects, and a little humor come together in photographer William Camargo's All That I Can Carry series.

Using objects collected from his family's backyard shed, Camargo creates staged portraits that explore family history, memory, and resourcefulness.

His work extends beyond the family archive, using photography to challenge historical narratives, confront erasure, and bring overlooked stories into view.

Join the Ball State School of Art for a free artist lecture on November 3 at 6 p.m. in the Fine Arts Building Recital Hall (AR 217).

🎨 Ball State alumna Emma Grace Hapner (BFA Painting, 2020) returns to Indiana with Reliquaries, a solo exhibition at Atelier in Warsaw, IN.

Featuring Hapner’s signature palette of pinks, the exhibition explores contemporary womanhood through reimagined classical imagery and “unapologetic femininity.”

Reliquaries opens Sept. 17 with a reception from 6–8 p.m. and runs through Oct. 30.

We love seeing our alumni bring their work back home to Indiana. 🩷
