Hi readers! My name is Bella Paniccia, and I am a fourth-year Museum Studies major, anticipating graduation at the end of the Fall 2026 semester.
Currently, I am in the process of selecting a topic for my thesis. Since being here at RIT, I’ve developed a strong interest in art forms and materials and their connections to culture and society. I’ve particularly enjoyed studying conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s, examining how cultural heritage and collecting are represented in film and media, and identifying pigments in artwork. Despite my indecisiveness, I am eager to start on this journey, as soon as I make up my mind, of course.

Interesting ideas! I would spend 30 mins researching both and see what one you like more. You will have to research this topic for a long time so it is important you are really passionate about the topic!
ReplyDeleteBella, this is a topic that will speak to all of your interests, as well as build your research portfolio for grad school. Honing in on one artist, one piece, or one museum collection may be useful. We looked at Mona Hatoum and Janine Antoni the other day - maybe there's something there? Keep going!
