PRESIDENT’S PLAYLIST ALL THE NEWS THAT FITS A NARRATIVE Since 2016, Brooklyn-based artist Alexandra Bell, who holds a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University, has been using walls in public locations to mount works that call attention to how issues around race and violence are reported, either subtly or explicitly, in the New York Times. For the project, called Counternarratives, Bell installed large-scale works on the facades of Mudd Learning Center and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. For more information, visit oberlin.edu/news
