What does it mean to feel seen? To be pictured? To have power over your own image? The Global Majority brings together a selection of photographs and contemporary works on paper to explore representation and the role it plays in fostering a sense of belonging, especially among communities that have been historically marginalized and excluded from museums.

A collaborative project with Penn State’s SoVA BIPOC (School of Visual Arts Black Indigenous and People of Color) and Palmer graduate assistants, interns, and educators, this exhibition centers a diversity of voices from our university community through written personal reflections and creative responses to the objects on view.

Organized by the Palmer Museum of Art and curated by Keri Mongelluzzo, Educator for Academic Engagement and Access, with graduate assistants Adrienne Krueger and Sofia Rodriguez, interns Sé Morrisson, Anna Muñoz Cruz, and Hely Parmar, and the student and faculty members of SoVA BIPOC.
