From uncovering old documents to gathering oral histories from alumni, the Build Albion Fellow’s FURSCA project adds to her experience gained as a student employee in the College archives.
The talented and imaginative Chalara Sutton, ’21, would be the first to tell you that being an artist is about much more than, well, being talented and creative. With the support of an Albion College FURSCA grant, Sutton spent this past summer focused on her art series, “Distinctively Black,” and discovered that a lot of the work didn’t involve paints or a brush.
Scholars and researchers sometimes say that the process is as important as the discovery—but Mackie Black, ’19, who spent the summer untangling a 400-year-old map puzzle, says discovery is pretty darn satisfying.
