Don’t miss this - screening of three documentary films produced jn UConn Digital Media & Design Professor Catherine Masud’s Human Rights Archives 2 class!! 🎬

Join us for a public screening of student-produced documentary projects from the Human Rights Archives course at UConn. All are welcome—family, friends, and members of the broader community—to attend and experience the important work of these emerging documentarians.

This event features a screening of three student-produced short documentaries exploring the Bosnian War and Genocide: “Tell Me About Your Father,” “Stitching Memory: Women of Bosnia,” and “Under the Night Sky.”

These films center the stories and voices of Bosnian Muslims in the Hartford area who have generously contributed to the Bosnian Community Oral History and Digital Archiving Project, an integral component of the Human Rights Archives I & II course sequence.

*EDIT: Please note the timing of this event has been changed to 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM.

SFA Spotlight: What happens when the classroom meets the museum? Meaningful, student-driven experiences that build connection and belonging. We’re proud to share that Amanda Douberley (William Benton Museum of Art), Professor Alison Paul (Art & Art History), and Clarissa Ceglio (Digital Media & Design) are featured on the CAA Conversations podcast. In this episode, they explore how collaborative, course-based projects are bringing student perspectives into the Benton’s galleries in powerful and engaging ways.

Through these partnerships, students aren’t just learning, they’re shaping how stories are told and experienced within the museum.

We’re proud to see our School of Fine Arts community leading this work and representing UConn in such an impactful conversation.
