Photo Friday: “Eye-Dentity” on Display

Anna Jankowski, 23′ CLAS, showcases her “Eye-Dentity” painting.


On Friday, Sept. 30, Villanova students attended an Art and Identity Painting Event in honor of the University’s Inclusion Week. Sponsored by the Center for Access, Success, and Achievement (CASA), Jeanne Brody, PhD, Art History Professor, discussed the role of public art, identity, and representation while students created art reflecting their identity, culture, and experience at Villanova.

Anna Jankowski ’23 CLAS, a junior communication major and Falvey Library Student Employee, says, “I loved attending this event for Inclusion Week to learn more about how art can be both functional and meaningful! I titled my piece ‘Eye-Dentity’ because I used complex colors and symbols inside my eye which represented a part of me. I included some aspects that were very obviously tied to my identity, like my astrological birth sign. Other symbols, like a flower, were more abstract and represent the growth I’ve gone through to bloom as my current self. I included a nature collage around my eye to represent the beautifully complicated world we live in and how I, and the things I love, fit into that world.”

Stop by Falvey Library’s first floor to see Jankowski’s painting and art crafted by students who attended the event!
