Scott Mallory (MAA '17 candidate) created a custom soundscape for the Mothership (Capsule) sculpture, a collaboration with Jefferson Pinder acquired by the newly opened Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC. It is the only national museum devoted to African American life. Now showing for the grand opening, where Barack Obama was a guest of honor, the piece is an abstracted replica of the NASA Mercury space capsule made of wood salvaged from Obama's first inauguration platform.

Originally created for the TED2016 Conference, MAA candidate Scott Mallory's video work REM will show at the Zhou Brothers Art Center in Chicago, which is dedicated to "facilitating cultural dialogue by organizing contemporary art exhibitions and programs of international scope."

Emily Carr University has partnered with Ten Thousand Coffees to create an exclusive ECU mentorship hub for our students and alumni. With so many talented alumni working in a diverse range of roles all across the globe, building relationships with them is a great way for students to get the most out of your education here at Emily Carr University. A mentor can help you explore your aspirations, gain clarity on your career path, and provide you with a support system as you navigate a career in the creative industries. Whether you are seeking an ongoing mentorship partner or want to keep it casual, the ECU hub lets you connect and network with industry-leading alumni from across the globe.

Mobilizing the Arts for Community Connection and Change will explore art as a catalyst for sparking community imagination around belonging, trust, and social resiliency in urban centres.

The one day summit will be moderated by Emily Carr Assistant Professor, Justin Langlois, and features presentations from Emily Carr faculty, Zoe Kreye and Holly Schmidt, along with talks and workshops by artists from the wider Vancouver community including: Corey Bulpitt, Alex Grünenfelder, Carmen Papalia and Ayotzi 68.
