Malena Barnhart is a feminist artist who makes work from repurposed cultural materials, including YouTube videos, children's stickers, and party decorations. Her art typically centers around enculturation and its role in perpetuating harmful gender norms.
Rembrandt Quiballo's work explores mass media and its effects on social and political history through the moving image. Images proliferated by mass mediums such as television, film, and the Internet influence our perception of the world and profoundly touch our deepest values. In his work, he analyzes the communal symbols and stories that constitute our social environment through the lens of these mass mediums.
