Featuring HANNAH ANTALEK ’13

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Brown chapter.

I recently received a message from Brown’s Art History listserv announcing the forthcoming Salvador Dali exhibit “Aliyah: The Rebirth of Israel” at the Brown RISD Hillel. Suffering from a mild obsession with Dali, I immediately contacted Hannah, RISD junior and co-chair of the Hillel Gallery Project, for more information. During my Google search for her contact information, I came across her portfolio, an especially remarkable one packed with brilliant colours and striking personalities from her life. As we are exploring the concept of glasses this week, Hannah’s paintings offer an ideal visual counterpart to our articles on the main page. Glasses are a physical obstacle, splicing the line of pure human vision with their wiry frame. Yet, they sharpen the perplexity, the bleariness, to ultimately enrich our experience of seeing. What would we do without them?

Haruka Aoki and Luisa Robledo instantly bonded over the love for witty writing and haute couture. Haruka, a self-professed fashionista, has interned at Oak Magazine and various public relations companies where she has reached leadership positions. Luisa, a passionate journalist and editor of the Arts and Culture section of Brown University's newspaper, has interned and Vogue and has co-designed a shoe collection for the Colombian brand Kuyban. Together, they aim to create a website that deals with the real issues that college women face, a space that can serve as a forum of communication. With the help of an internationally-minded team section editors and writers who have different backgrounds, experiences, and mentalities, these two Brown girls will establish a solid presence on-campus.
