The Art Steps

We introduce "The Art Steps," an integrated art gallery within the main UCG staircase. This student initiative aims to enhance student representation, inclusivity, and well-being by transforming a commonly ignored space into an engaging and mindful environment. This staircase is the core of UCG, being one of the most frequently used and travelled areas of the building by students, staff, and faculty. Therefore, putting our energy towards curating this space can have a significantly large impact on UCG. Art has proven benefits for mental health, and by playing with light, colors, and themes, and showcasing student art, we will create a space that fosters presence and a sense of belonging on our campus.

The Male Gaze

We are thrilled to invite you to an extraordinary art exhibition that delves into the male gaze. Our exhibition, Exploring Influences of the Male Gaze on Women's Health, offers a comprehensive exploration of how the male gaze has shaped artistic representations of women and influenced societal norms. This event promises to be both intellectually stimulating and visually captivating, featuring a curated selection of original artworks created by our talented team. Join us as we challenge and reinterpret the traditional narratives through our unique artistic lens.

Exploring the World of Vegan Cheese

Our project delves into the interesting process of making vegan cheese and the biological principles behind it. Despite the rise of plant-based diets, vegan cheese often faces criticism. We'll explore why it's unpopular and more importantly, we'll propose ways to improve its appeal and acceptance.

On project day, we will present various vegan cheeses and their unique production methods. Attendees can sample these cheeses and learn about their development, alongside innovative marketing strategies aimed at boosting their popularity. Join us in understanding and transforming the perception of vegan cheese.
