It took several stints in prison for Rahman Sanip to discover his artistic talent and thanks to the support of Dr S Chandrasekaran, LASALLE’s Head of the McNally School of Fine Arts, as well as the Yellow Ribbon Project, he is now pursuing a Diploma in Fine Arts education. The former drug addict is grateful for the second chance in life and is looking forward to a career as an art teacher or display artist.

Image and Sound In Spite Of is an online platform curated by LASALLE’s Senior Fellow Milenko Prvacki as a way to keep artistic conversations going even during a pandemic. 47 artists, including staff and alumni of LASALLE, as well as past participants of the College’s annual art camp Tropical Lab, took part in this project, showcasing their work-from-home creations and efforts to remain creative.

The coronavirus has not deterred 47 artists from adapting their practice to include new mediums and creative explorations. Image and Sound In Spite Of is an online exhibition curated by Senior Fellow Milenko Prvacki to share LASALLE’s creative response in a time of isolation and solitude.
