For my first passport assignment for anthropology, my friend and I visited the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Museum (SMOCA). They had just revamped the place to represent woman artists from Aboriginal Australia. The exhibit was called “Marking the Infinite”. There were nine female artists in the exhibition who gave a glimpse into the diverse contemporary art practice of Aboriginal Australia. Their names are Nonggirrnga Marawili, Wintjiya Napaltjarri, Yukultji Napangati, Angela Pwerle, Carlene

Group I chose to virtually re-explore the McNay Art Museum which has been a part of history here in San Antonio as an endowment of founder Marion Koogler McNay. The McNay was noted as being the first museum of modern art in Texas.

I tend to be kind of an art geek. What can I say? I’m drawn to interesting images, and art has some of the most intriguing images to offer. Art galleries, museums, art blogs; all of it!
