  • Gardens of Culture

    The word “culture” has its origins in the Latin term “colere,” which originally meant “to till” or “to cultivate” the land. Over time, this word evolved to encompass not only the act of farming but also the nurturing of human practices, customs, and beliefs. It’s from this very concept that the theme for the fall 2023 academic conference was born: Cultivating our minds, our passions, and our relationships is at the core of human existence. And this same theme is shared by the issue of Blending Magazine you’re currentlyAnd this same theme is shared by the issue of Blending Magazine you’re currentlyreading. Italo Calvino’s Memos offer us insights into the nuances of culture andthe art of cultivating ideas, stories, and connections.These articles and more in this issue exemplify the diverse perspectives and thoughtprovoking ideas that our talented students at FUA-AUF and AUF bring to the table. We hope that the pages of Blending Magazine serve as a rich tapestry of insights,inspirations, and cultural reflections.

  • To See, Once More, The Stars

    The latest issue of Blending Magazine explores the Fall 2021 final student exhibit theme, To See, Once More, The Stars. Inspired by the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death, we seek to celebrate the man and his works, and the impact this author has had worldwide. This semester’s publication features student-written articles such as Shining Through Hell, the testimony of a nurse who worked during the pandemic. Not Dante’s Florence describes how the religious landscape has changed over the centuries. And in Appropriating Hell, we see how the fashion industry has appropriated Dantean imagery in recent decades. Allow us to guide you through this journey.
