Laura Swanson, MFA '11 D+M

In “Fanon” Swanson breaks down both critical theory for children who experience otherness, and the distance between the audience and the artwork generally observed in galleries and museums. The doll is embedded with an audio book of a text that historically has been employed to incite rebellion. With its heated center “Fanon” acts as both an object of comfort and empowerment.
