Social media is one of the easiest way to educate yourself. By following people who have different lived experiences than you, you can gain a whole new perspective on life. ______ While I was reading this book, I thought about all of my social circles both on and offline. They are diversified and it’s truly opened my eyes to a lot of things some bad, but mostly good. Can you say the same? #DiversifyYourFeed ______ Who are you following?

March 8 - 26, 2021. The Harlan Gallery is pleased to present Project I, an exhibition featuring work by elise michaux. The exhibition runs from March 8 - 26, 2021. Project I is the first in the series of investigations of ongoing exhibitions that intersect themes of race, gender, and sexual orientation through the process of art. As an activity, art making is an one of the most productive ways humans can unpack or deconstruct structures and cultural tropes that are impinged upon society as a whole. The purpose of this series of inquires is to offer a different point of view to unlock the structural cultural deadlock. elise michaux’s work circles around her ability to find ways to communicate through subjective and contingent moments of vulnerability and empathy - the artist uses short video conversations that intersect black history and it’s contemporaneous experience here in the U.S. michaux’s photographs poignantly draw the viewer into unexpected experiences of blackness, deftly capturing moments that disarm and portray a side of blackness that is rarely shown in our media culture. elise michaux is an artist, activist, educator, and a community leader. The Harlan Gallery exhibits student, faculty work, interdepartmental programs, guest curatorial projects, and exhibitions. https://www.emichaux.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-11-27 https://www.emichaux.com/about daily 1.0 2024-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/597ca587197aea062b6932c1/13d5eb85-dd17-4f29-b85d-ae44041d31e3/CW8A3218+copy.jpg bio - elise michaux, ph.d. elise michaux aka “the encourager” is a keynote speaker, educator, workshop facilitator, and consultant whose work focuses on race & organizational culture.

You might notice that elise lowercases her name. During undergrad, elise was encouraged by a mentor to read queer activist and feminist bell hooks’ “Ain’t I A Woman” and it changed her life. As a nod to her and its profound impact, she too lowercases her name. elise often presents workshops, lectures and presentations on diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging. Her research, publications and presentations focuses on inclusive leadership practices and policies. She is also committed to serving communities in which she occupies by participating on local and state boards. Outside of her professional duties, elise enjoys attending concerts, exploring new coffee shops and breweries as well as the art of photography. - e.
