Integrated Design Program at Parsons/The New School

Edward Bauer’s Senior thesis project “The Call” is a live-still performance in response to many of the modeling castings he has worked, which will be performed by himself standing in as the subject next to every name who has come past him in these rooms, whose physical cards he has collected since 2023. It is a tribute and memorial to those he’s met but never seen again, but still considers having left a mark on who he is today.

Edward Is a multidisciplinary artist. He’s an illustrator, a photographer, a writer, sewer, gardener, painter, and home-chef, among many other things. He spends most of his time now in his last months in and around the theatre department at Eugene Lang or the The New School at large, or could be found in a movie theatre, or in any of the public libraries around the city.

Anna Emberson’s Senior thesis project “909 Glenhaven Drive” honors the spirit of her grandparent’s house, which was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire last January. Although we are unable to return to the places we once inhabited, they remain a part of us. The duality of loss, which divides life into “before” and “after,” is explored through a synthesis of materials that survived yet were altered by the fire with recreated heirlooms that have been abstracted due to memory reconsolidation.

Anna Emberson (@310.anna ) is an interdisciplinary artist and designer born in Los Angeles, whose work centers on the defining people, places, and experiences of her life, expressed through vibrant and decorative depictions.

Rosa Acevedo is an educator, printmaker, and mixed-media filmmaker. They find their place in the struggle for liberation at the kids’ table, where wonder and imagination are tended to carefully as an act of defiance against the systems of oppression actively fighting to inhibit our innately human urge to dream.

Practicando Soñando

Practicando Sonañdo (Practicing Dreaming) is an educational mixed-media web series born out of youth workshops that imagine how we can collectively envision alternative futures. Each episode partners with a youth organization and a guest teaching artist, focusing on one of three areas of exploration: political education (movement history), social/emotional learning, and artistic practices. Rooted in radical pedagogies, intergenerational knowledge creation, and world building, the episodes are materialized through built sets, mixed-media animation, and puppetry.
