Introducing our Assistant Directors for this years show, Jennifer Zhuang (left) and Karen Lee (right)!

Jennifer is currently a sophomore at the Stern School of Business studying Finance and Accounting. Karen is also a sophomore, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Business Studies at the College of Arts and Sciences. Check out their Q&A’s below!

1. What is the art medium of your life (sports, music, dance)?      

Jen: Dance - but not many people know I can!

Karen: Music and writing; Painting when I have the time and resources to.

2. Who or what is your muse?       

Jen: Is it bad that I don't have one? If I had to give an answer, it would probably be my parents and my friends. 

Karen: The people I surround myself with. They all inspire me.

3. Give me three words to describe yourself.

Jen: Cute, short, Asian (this is usually how I am described)

Karen: Curious, spontaneous, minimalist.

4. Two recommendations for what to do in NYC?               

Jen: Try new foods and when you have time, try walking to places instead of taking the subway - walking at night is when you truly get to see the unique "City that Never Sleeps" (and walk off those calories from all the food you ate).

Karen: Go to Sleep No More – a modern, interactive adaptation of Macbeth; and take the backstage tour of the Met Opera House.

5. The soundtrack of your life?        

Jen: I don't have a life, so no soundtrack either.

Karen: Don’t have one, but I'm currently listening to Island by Primary & Ohhyuk.

6. What are you looking forward to the most tomorrow night during ACE?  

Jen: An amazing show with no hitches! The entire committee has put so much work into tomorrow night. The models are amazing, the looks are incredible, and the sponsors and performances will bound to impress all attendees! Look forward to it :)

Maestro del estilo y mi profesor de Visual Culture Methods, Nicholas Mirzoeff se ha dedicado desde septiembre ha hacerme aprender sin que yo me de cuenta. No me dice las cosas claras, las tengo que descifrar.  No le gusta que compremos café en vasos de cartón y está orgulloso de que la NSA lo tenga bajo la lupa por haber participado en Occupy Wall Street. Le gusta el activismo con nuevos slogans de protesta como "You Are not A Loan", ahora está clavado con el desalojo de Detroit.

Nos hace criticar la educación y termina con frases como "después de escucharlos se me complica seguir haciendo mi trabajo". Le pregunté  cuál era el enemigo de la democracia y me dijo: "We are". Los que queremos educación para todos, comida, vivienda, espacios públicos, libertad, el derecho a mirar.
