“Public Art and Protest” in Spain
Associate Professor of Spanish, Laura Middlebrook, Ph.D., took educational leave from VCU during the 2024 fall semester to conduct research on art and protest in Spain, traveling around Barcelona, Madrid, Sevilla, Cadiz and Rota to document instances of public art.
Now showing on the Cabell Screen is a sampling of the photos Middlebrook captured on their travels. During their time in Spain, they took more than 2,000 photos and several hundred videos, with the ultimate goal of turning the materials into a new VCU course or a virtual study abroad program. The research builds on a unit Middlebrooks already teaches in their SPAN 202 course in the School of World Studies, part of the College of Humanities and Sciences, requiring students to create an art project and present it to the class.
