UC Alumni UK Network Kick-Off (feat. Artist Alumna Francesca Hummler)

DAR, Student/Alumni Events, UK
Oct
03

Crypt Gallery | Euston Road
King's Cross, United Kingdom

October 3 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm

Join us for a fantastic opportunity to connect and network with fellow UC alumni and newly arrived UCEAP students from across all 10 UC campuses! Learn more about getting involved with your campus network, and other all UC activities in the capital such as our Gala Committee, UC Pride UK, UC Running Club, Mentorship Program, and Sustainability Committee.

Throughout the evening, attendees will enjoy an exclusive viewing of “Rituals”, a solo show by London-based photographic artist and researcher Francesca Hummler (UCSD ’19). The work engages with a crisis of faith initiated by the artist’s entry into adulthood. Through therapeutic photography, “Rituals” charts the artist’s journey towards self-definition, reconciling faith, sexuality, and identity. Self-portraiture, a ritual in itself, played a transformative role, guiding the artist from despair to rediscovered faith. The exhibition was curated by Christiane Monarchi with special thanks to Antoine d’Agata, Amin Yousefi, Abraham Adams, Sarah Grice, and Violet Del Toro.

Our program will begin at 7:30pm with introductions from UC Alumni UK President Claire Frost. Guests will also hear remarks from the artist on how her experience at UCSD made a lasting impact on her artistic career.

Tickets include entry to the private exhibition, drinks, and canapes. Guests will also have the opportunity to enter a raffle for one of the pieces on display.
