As part of this semester’s International Education Week celebrations, the Office of International Education invites all Mavericks to submit a photograph entry to be featured in the global photo exhibition, See the Unseen. This exhibition focuses on showcasing the often-overlooked elements of culture and community that shape the world around us.Student submissions will be assessed by a panel of judges, and prizes will be awarded to first- and second-place student entries in three different themes.Maverick community members may submit one photo per category for consideration across any of the following categories:Intercultural Immersion: Captures moments where individuals are immersed in the culture of their host country (U.S. or abroad). Photos might showcase students engaging in everyday activities that reflect the unique aspects of the host country's culture, or participating in local events, traditions, or festivals. Photos may also capture a moment or scene, which creates a culturally immersive or -reflective experience for the viewer.Culture & Landscapes: Highlight the natural beauty and landscapes of host country locations (U.S. or abroad). Participants can submit photographs of landscapes, environments, iconic landmarks, scenic vistas, or natural wonders that play a significant role in shaping the host culture. Examples include images of geographic formations tied to cultural myths, or landscapes which impact the current economic and cultural circumstances of a host community.Cultural Crossings: Photos that capture the interactions and connections between people from different cultures OR photos which illustrate the ways that cross-cultural trade and culture exchange impacts daily life in the host culture. Photos might include moments of cross-cultural friendship and collaboration between people, or scenes which represent an example of the mixing point of multiple cultures in the environment or in an object in the host country (U.S. or abroad).We welcome Mavericks of any and all US- and international experiences to participate - photos from your travel to visit family, study abroad, volunteer, or sightsee in a country different from your own are equally welcome.Submissions will be accepted through October 31!

Curated by Jorge Baldor, historian, art collector, and founder of the Latino Arts Project, this densely layered exhibition centers on the centuries-long journey of the Gullah-Muscogo people and their culture - from West Africa to the eventual founding of the town of Nacimiento de los Negros, Mexico.Part art exhibition, part archival display, Baldor has paired artists working in diverse media with historical documents, maps and artifacts to tell "a story of resilience, culture and freedom."The exhibition also includes a selection of oil pastel on paper sketches by renowned contemporary artist Sedrick Huckaby who visited Mexico over a four-month period in 2023 to work on this portrait series of the present-day people of Nacimiento that depicts a community deeply connected to their history.
