Student Work From Courses Taught at Indiana University South Bend & University of Denver
Work by Bethany Hudak
It's a Weave by Bethany Hudak and Zorina Jerome (Author of a Michiana Monologue)
For this project I connected Bethany with Zorina, a writer for the Michiana Monologues. Bethany animates Zorina's story. The MM is a compilation of Michiana women's stories that are written by and for women. Each spring these monologues are performed for a live audience. Bethany's work was screened at the event and was also selected for the Equality/Inclusion exhibit at the Civil Rights Heritage Center of South Bend.
