1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?
"1492 What Is It Like to Be Discovered?" explores Columbus and his involvement in "discovering" the "New World." The text consists of poetry, dictionary definitions, magazine/newspaper cutouts, quotes from Columbus' and other conquistadors diaries, and short histories throughout hundreds of years. All the history and its text is true and accurate. The images are from magazines and newspaper cutouts, but the majority of images have been adapted from 16th Century engravings by Theodore de Bry. The book questions how a people and their established civilizations can be "discovered." The book is a criticism of the praise we give Columbus, and is a recount of history, told with all the facts.

Adopted
adoption, identity, race, hispanic
My broadside addresses the issues and identity struggles that may stem from adoption. My birthparents both identified as Latinx but I was raised by Germanic/caucasian parents in a non-diverse home and town. Growing up it was very difficult for me to reconcile my outer appearance and the cultures I identified with. ADOPTED was meant to invoke the harsh and instantaneous categorization that people perpetuated onto me from an early age, which set me up for years of confliction.

Barbie
gender roles, feminine identity, childhood, sexism
"Barbie" tells the story of a painful childhood memory that seems inconsequential at first glance, but when examined more deeply hints at the problematic nature of indoctrinated gender roles. "Barbie" uses Barbie Dolls to exemplify the idealization and objectification of femme individuals and critique the widespread complacency with which people accept both the gender binary and the very strict roles that come with it.

Cosmeceutical Collection
Documenting the struggles and darker sides of the makeup industry, both in the past and the present. Includes ingredients of makeup and their side effects.
While on the outside the work appears to be a regular novel, upon opening it the viewer is confronted with a blush case, a compact mirror, and a tube of mascara. Within each makeup product is written histories and stories of the negative and often hidden dangers of makeup. Often, our identity is closely tied into our appearance, and by addressing the harsh realities of the makeup industry, Bailey forces viewers to confront their own identities as well.

Delhi Braveheart
South Asian women, Indian gender roles, rape
"Delhi Braveheart" is a poem by Tiara Sharma, an 18 year old South Asian American, in reaction to the infamous 2012 Delhi Rape. It juxtaposes how Indian men treat women in different contexts: Goddesses, mothers, and young women. The image above the poem excerpts is of traditional South Asian jewelry that has aesthetic, religious, and social significance and worn by women of all ages, even on depictions of Goddesses.
