Come to URCAD on Wednesday, April 25 where Theatre student Mia Rickenbach will present her visual research, "Seeing the Stories: How Art Can Impact Human Trafficking Awareness".

This research was a study of theatrical scenic art, which evolved into a project investigating the impact of visual storytelling on human trafficking awareness. The study of scenic art included working in large-scale, trompe l’oeil illusion painting, matching paint color, and faux finishes such as marble and wood grain. These techniques were developed at Cobalt Studios’ Summer Scene Painting, and employed in the scenic design and painting of UMBC’s Department of Theatre productions.
