On permanent display in Gilman Hall’s Hutzler Reading Room, “Ancestry Doll 1” by Baltimore-born artist Joyce J. Scott faces portraits of Hopkins’ former university presidents, all of whom are white men. That was intentional on the part of the student curators who worked with Scott, a MacArthur genius award winner, in developing the concept for the installation. Maddy Brancati ’18 and Nia Josiah ’17 wrote in the display text for the piece: “Scott pushes back against the senselessness of prejudice and all its ‘isms’ by collecting competing identities of the body.”
