From Selfie to Community

Each semester, Bloomsburg University Professor Chad Andrews challenges his printmaking students to create large-format woodcut self-portraits that explore the clichés of selfies on social media. What began as an assignment focusing on self-examination has morphed into a representation of the broader student community.

Professor Andrews’ printmaking students made their woodcut selfie portraits again this year, despite the constraints caused by Covid-19. Students alternated between virtual and in-person attendance. From Selfie to Community captures a glimpse of how these students perceived themselves during this historic time.
