On January 16th, 2007 Pacific undergraduate students Lauren Gallow, Harrison W. Inefuku, and Lyna Nauven organized the controversial art exhibit Transgressions: Transgender, Transnational, Transsexual.
This show features artists Dawn Black, Wendy Kawabata, Sabrina Lee, Suzanne Long, Candace Nicol, Mel Northum, Jocelyn Shu, and Corkey Sinks. The artists were asked to explore how individuals are categorized based on gender, race, nationality and sexuality.
The exhibit got off to a great start with a crowded opening on January 20th at the Reynolds Gallery. Students, faculty and guests mingled amongst the thought provoking pieces and enjoyed beverages and hors d’oeuvre catered by Bon Appetit.
