COLUMN Conflicts expressed through art BY LACEY.WESTBERG @iowastatedaily.com

Art has always been a way for people to express thoughts bigger than they can explain with words. Some people get their inspiration for art through music and some through drawing, but sometimes the best ideas come from class- room doodles or things that you do. Last week I covered the International Student Council’s (ISC) events held earlier this month to spread awareness and shed light on all of the cultures at Iowa State. While attending these events I met many amazing people who were willing to teach me about their culture. I also met some whose experiences with their own culture and different cultures inspired a variety of different art pieces. The art exhibited by the students from Sudan ranged in medium, size and color, but they all also reflected upon different things occurring in their country today. While my encounters with Hiba Salih and Shance Bagos Taylor were brief, their pieces reflected on very serious and press- ing issues in Sudan. Salih exhibited two separate multi-panel acrylic sheets with paint on them entitled “Revolution” to reflect on the 2011 split of North and South Sudan when many riots and conflicts were occurring. I also got the chance to speak with Taylor about his memorial piece COURTESY OF LACEY WESTBERG to the people who were incarcerated and killed Hiba Salih’s multi-panel artwork “Revolution”, pictured above, represents the conflicts that occurred during the division between North and during the riots and protests during the split South Sudan. of Sudan.

Around this time of year, students usually undergo a lot stress. This is predominantly caused by final exams in classes, as they are something that can make or break a grade. Although this is a busy time for many stu- dents there are plenty of techniques and resources on campus to help relieve some of that stress. Paul Iman, a freshman in mechanical engi- neering, finds that going to the gym with friends helps him to destress from school. “We usually come with a group of four or five and it helps a lot,” Iman said.
