Students from Rice University’s Shepherd School of Music composed and performed a series of compositions that served as musical responses to the themes and artworks present in the Moody Center for the Arts’ spring 2024 exhibition “Hayv Kahraman: The Foreign Among Us.” Directed by junior Jaylin Vinson and graduate student Victor Cui, who both study composition, the March 30 event offered a multisensory journey through the galleries, providing an immersive experience of exploration and artistic expression.
