Corcoran alumni Eric Lee (M.A. New Media Photojournalism ‘20) () witnessed and captured history on July 13, 2024, as he photographed the unexpected assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Lee was at the event as a photo fellow for the New York Times, and was collecting material before shots rang out from among the crowd. As he watched panic take over the area, Lee realized that he was beholding history, and that it was up to him as a photographer to document the event and share it with the world. Taking as many photos as he could from his position, he managed to capture a photo of Trump being escorted off the stage after being shot in the ear, as well as the crowd’s reaction to the shooting, and the aftermath of the attempt, as shown here. The last photo is of Eric, who flew on Air Force One to Nevada with the White House Press Corps. (Photo by Kent Nishimura)

05/16/2024

Our last memory for today from our 2024 graduating class. Cole Harriston, B.A. Theater and Minor in Anthropology, remembers: “My fondest memories at GW began with performing in a play for the first time at the university during the pandemic. With each subsequent play I took part in, I learned more about myself as an actor and how integral the whole cast and crew is for a production. In my four years, I was cast as characters as varied as a game-show host and talk-show host, God and a Polish film producer. In one virtual play during my first year, ‘There’s Always the Hudson,’ I even got to pour Coca-Cola on myself. On camera. Over and over. This past year, with some help from the Theatre Department’s Carl Gudenius and Ann Norton, I interned as an assistant director at the Washington Stage Guild, an experience that expanded my appreciation for D.C.’s vibrant theater scene. Being part of Phi Sigma Pi, a national honor fraternity, was another connection I appreciated. Being with other frat brothers exposed me to different events and activities like picnics, retreats and campus games. I’ve learned a lot over four years and have grown so much.”

Congratulations to our 2024 Corcoran school graduates! Another memory from Cammie Hussey, B.A. Political Science, Minor in Theater ‘24: “I found a home in GW’s student theater. Over the past few years, I have wracked up countless amazing moments with this group, but the experience I cherish most was when I was able to put on my own show. Sure, I remember the Saturday night when every seat was filled, some people even sitting on the floor, but the most special performance was our Friday late-night show. Four people came. I’m not exaggerating, four. But this talented, fantastic group took it as an opportunity to play. I couldn’t feel my cheeks by the end because I was smiling so hard. I hope those four people were as entertained as I was. I had more fun at the performance than any other, and I will remember it years from now. GW’s student theater taught me many lessons, but more importantly, it introduced me to lifelong friends.”

Congratulations to our 2024 Corcoran school graduates! Maureen Rafter, B.A. American Studies, Music ‘24, shares her memories: “When reflecting on my four years at GW, it’s hard to pick just one moment that I would consider to be my favorite. This school has provided me with lifelong friendships, connections and opportunities. Getting to routinely attend shows at the Kennedy Center, meeting Kerry Washington and interning on Capitol Hill are some of the most memorable moments from my time as a Revolutionary.

Tomorrow is the last day to see the NEXT exhibition! This year, NEXT has more than 47 physical exhibits, which you can see on display from 1 - 5 pm at 500 17th Street NW. 

Students at the Corcoran have exhibited their thesis work for more than 30 years. In 2011, the exhibition came to be known as NEXT in a nod to the public seeing “what’s next” in contemporary art and scholarship. Attendees are able to view and engage with the vast displays of the end-of-year projects that the students have to offer.

Come check it out before the exhibition closes to the public today! *Note: The exhibition will also remain open during graduation weekend, May 17-18, for GW students and their families to enjoy.*

✨NEXT Spotlight: Theatre✨

Our Bachelor of Arts in Theatre encourages a broad-based liberal arts education. The program is structured to allow partnering with an almost limitless range of other majors and minors. It also provides an education that explores all aspects of the field. From acting, to design, and management, coursework helps students understand and perform each part of a successful production. Building on this base, students are encouraged to focus on their primary interest in theatre. Theatre students also partner with other programs across the university, providing an expansive creative foundation paired with in-depth studio training. This year’s NEXT projects in theatre reflect the program’s commitment to embodied learning, where practical learning is supported by deep intellectual exploration.

✨ NEXT Spotlight: Photojournalism & New Media Photojournalism ✨

The B.F.A. in Photojournalism and B.A. in Fine Art with a Concentration in Photojournalism degrees foster a unique, multidisciplinary training ground for the next generation of visual reporters and documentarians. Based in the Studio Arts program, photojournalism majors are immersed in both the traditions of photojournalism and studio arts practices, resulting in critically engaged visual storytelling with an emphasis on producing well-crafted objects that contribute to contemporary social and cultural discourse. This year’s senior thesis cohort explores topics including addiction and recovery, DIY culture, the preservation of small-scale agriculture, and q***r Hispanic safe spaces.

The M.A. in New Media Photojournalism is a two-year program that culminates in a visual reporting capstone project. Capstone comprises photography, video, a long-form reporting essay, a project-centered website, and community engagement events. As with the classes before them, the 2024 cohort has leaned into complex issues at the heart of society, including the expanding epidemic of isolation and loneliness, bonds between humans and animals, the growing impact of Gen-Z in defining U.S. culture, experiences of asylees seeking refuge in Washington, D.C., and challenges young generations face in balancing their identities and visions of the future with the sacrifices of their immigrant grandparents.

🎶✨NEXT Spotlight: Music ✨🎶

The Bachelor of Arts in Music degree fosters musicianship, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking. A major in music prepares students for a wide variety of career choices, both in music-centered professions and beyond. Students customize their academic path by selecting from courses in performance, theory, ensembles, composition, history, ethnomusicology, and electronic and computer music. Many of our music majors find the flexibility to double major in another academic area, due to the ability to tailor the music curriculum to their individual interests. Graduates from our program possess the knowledge, practical skills, and wisdom needed to investigate, advocate for, and create music and to analyze how music intersects with critical issues in both historical and contemporary contexts.

Don’t miss the music capstone performances tomorrow, May 4, with Nadia Lischke and Maureen Rafter. Click the link in bio to get free tickets!

✨NEXT Spotlight: Interior Architecture ✨

The Interior Architecture program fosters a community that encourages creativity and pushes the boundaries of design with an emphasis on conceptual thinking and the design process. Through our studio-based curriculum, the core of our program, students learn to design three-dimensional environments through the use of dynamic concepts, cutting-edge materials, and innovative methods and techniques. Our mission is to educate future designers on all aspects of the discipline so that they contribute to and advance the field of interior design through professional projects and creative research.

Students in the Graphic Design BFA program apply critical thinking, design processes, and user-centered approaches to solve problems through visual form and communication. Equipped with essential skills for designing across print, screen, and space, this year’s seniors engage topics ranging from issues surrounding culture and technology, to personal investigations that explore the power of emotions and identity. Through wide-ranging creative inquiry, Graphic Design students at the Corcoran respond to the ever-shifting landscape of contemporary graphic design practice and its application.

✨ NEXT Spotlight: Fine Arts ✨

The Fine Arts program challenges our senior thesis students to imagine, articulate, and manifest their artistic voices on a level only possible by having an extended amount of time to pursue their work within a supportive community of peers, faculty, and visiting artists. Every art practice being developed while pursuing the BA and BFA in Fine Arts has the potential to span a variety of media and material, as is evident in the variety of work in NEXT. During their senior year, each student discovers and amplifies their own creative vocabulary to produce unique, compelling, and realized visions. This year’s cohort explores a range of material, personal, and urgent social issues of today through sustained material transformation and research. These students present projects that confront the rise in anti-semitism, offer a feminist perspective on identity, translate the overwhelming anxiety of crisis culture, and explore how objects hold meaning over time through material and repetition.

A celebration throwback to February! On February 2nd, Jamille Wallick, professional lecturer in Corcoran’s Fine Arts Studio Program, opened her solo exhibition at VisArts titled, “until the truth is disclosed.” Her work featured an immersive camera obscura that was covered by patches, made up of individual patchwork spirals that had been stitched together. Using quilt making techniques and steel studs for materials as well as utilizing the visual language of natural repeating patterns including spiral fractals and waves, Wallick referenced and subverted the existing structures and systems placed around us. Though these structures exist, often without our control, they are still within our power to change.

After engaging in this work, one is offered a time to turn inward and upon Wallick’s request “reconsider all the ways we come together or stand alone in our quest for care and connection.”

✨NEXT Spotlight: Exhibition Design✨

The Exhibition Design (MA) capstone installation is a territory of experimentation and innovation for both exhibition at-large and the student voice. Students are called to question and assert the relevance of exhibition in an ever-changing world and to ground their production in the forms and language of future-forward design. The work of the 2024 cohort is responsive to the unifying thematic of “the art of sustainability”. Herein, art has many meanings. And, sustainability can be of anything from energy, to ideology, to material, to community. Each of the exhibition design student projects is the realization of a unique positionally, a personal approach to translation, and an individual process for moving from meaning to form.
