Spring Art Party Showcases: Abbas - Children of Abraham

Spring Art Party Showcases: Abbas - Children of Abraham

March 21, 2016

The gallery of Iranian photographer Abbas, Children of Abraham, comprised photos of Muslims, Jews and Christians taken all over the world. From the 1979 Iranian Revolution to the Arab-Israeli conflict to the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, from New York to Egypt to China, Abbas followed these "people of the book" and documented what he saw. Selections from his work were on display for the last several months in the Arthur Ross Gallery in the Fisher Fine Arts Library. Photos by Photo Manager Carson Kahoe and Photo Associate Tiffany Pham.

Bloomers Spring Show - Continuous: Real Women, Fake Stories

Bloomers Spring Show - Continuous: Real Women, Fake Stories

March 20, 2016

Bloomers closed out their spring show "Continuous: Real Women, Fake Stories" to a full audience this past Saturday night after their fourth performance in Houston Hall. The sketches, which were anchored around the case of a missing prom queen, ranged from the current election cycle (in the tune of "High School Musical") to Dora the Explorer losing her beloved Boots to a drive by bombing at the hands of Swiper the Fox. Performances by the Bloomers band interspersed these sketches, captivating the audience. Although the show has closed out at Penn, Bloomers will be performing in New York City on April 9. Photos by Julio Sosa | News Photo Editor
