Reflection
I am a studio arts major at Hunter. Art has always been my passion, and has always fascinated me with how many techniques, art styles, and uniqueness there are in the art world- new and old. This is my first time coming to Brooklyn Museum, so it felt exciting being able to experience this new…

Walking around the Brooklyn museum, I kept my eye open for things that relate to my heritage, yet I couldn’t find any. The Chinese American people have carried much of an importance since the 1850s, being one of the first immigrants working on the railroad tracks in the Western Region of the Americas, yet I…

I see my self in a lot of these exhibits as they represented my roots of the bronx and people of color. I saw these pictures of empowerment, and felt very connected to their emotions. Seeing how far we have come as a society and community reminds me that there has been so much growth,…

Working in Healthcare, I will need to work with people of many different backgrounds and be able to validate all of their experiences. I believe this is important to make the patient feel like they are being actively listened to and sympathized with. This is shown to improve patient care qualities. Alonzo Monsanto
