Through an ongoing series of community conversations, artist and architect Suchi Reddy has been in dialog with students, faculty, staff, and townspeople throughout the 2024-2025 academic year to learn about the ways in which our encounters with reflection and misreflection in physical and digital spaces contribute to our experience of bias and belonging. A culmination of the year's conversations, Bias and Belonging poetically reframes the Colgate community's embodied experience of belonging in woven, textual and digital forms. Bias and Belonging is the latest iteration of Reddy's ongoing exploration into embodied states of being that reflect our individual and collective experience as we code switch and transform in evolving environments both digital and physical.Presented by the Art Department and the Christian A. Johnson Foundation**The Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Artist-in-Residence was established in 1986 as a challenge grant in support of the arts at Colgate.

This year's Lavender Celebration theme is "The Essence of Presence!" We are living in a world that is experiencing fast-moving and, frankly, terrifying challenges. The social landscape is becoming a battleground of strong opinions, policies, and movements. As a Colgate community, we strive to be united and attentive to each other's needs. That requires us to be present - to be here and now, for ourselves and our peers. The essential feature of presence is authenticity and how we cherish the authenticity of others who are not like us. To be present also means to be engaged, to be focused, and to become a positive force of change that is inspirational for those who will follow our steps. Everyone is welcome!RSVP by April 11, 2025 - Apr 236:00 PMChili with LilyCampus Life | Chapel House, Dining Room
