Aiyana Thompson presents, "A Seat at the Table" on April 17, 2023.

Aiyana Thompson, Art History major and Spelman College C'2023 will present her thesis, A Seat at the Table. Guests will discover how Virgil Abloh's groundbreaking intervention in fashion merges Art History, promotes accessibility, inclusivity, diversity, and critiques the industry's exclusivity. A reception will follow the presentation.

The Art History Thesis is a work of independent research undertaken by graduating seniors in consultation with Art History and Curatorial Studies faculty members as well as curators and other professionals in the museum field and art world.

The written thesis is an argument created by the students from their own close reading, comprehension, interpretation, understanding and critical analysis of multiple sources, both primary and secondary. This is a “capstone” experience for the seniors, allowing them to synthesize coursework with critical viewing, writing, thinking and research skills as applicable to the discipline. Their theses mark their first steps of emerging scholars well-versed in the rigors of the field of art history.
