2016 Senior Projects

Each spring, the Stamps studios are abuzz late into the night with seniors putting the finishing touches on their IP and Senior Capstone projects.

The culmination of year-long effort by individual students, these projects range from one-person performances to game designs to interactive sculptures. Before the work premiered to the public in a weekend of exhibition openings, screenings, and performances from April 14 - 16, 2016, we sat down with a few students to learn more.

Christina Bennett

Bookmaker and graphic designer Christina Bennett (BFA '16) presents her series of artist books about depression. After graduation, Christina is spending the summer as a graphic design intern with Porter One Design, a boutique design firm in Farmington Hills, MI.

Alexa Borromeo

Poly-disciplinary artist Alexa Borromeo (BFA '16) explains her senior project: body performances exploring Filipino ethnicity, identity, and culture. After graduation, Alexa will collaborate with her growing and diverse network of fellow artists and activists in Detroit, furthering her career as an independent artist and social change activist.
