in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
(CSRE) and minoring in Studio Art, Emunah's
passion and wide-ranging experience lies
in the visual arts. She has taken classes
in painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramics,
metal work, Chinese water ink, photography
and printmaking. She worked for a year
at the CCHH Community Arts Program, a
San Francisco-based art studio for homeless
and low-income artists, teaching basic
technique, leading workshops, and curating
shows. She has traveled throughout the
world, having grown up in Southern Africa
during Apartheid. Most recently, Emunah
took two years off from Stanford to travel
in South and Southeast Asia. In 1999,
she painted a mural in Stanford's Harmony

Orlando |
Orlando Lara,
Class
of 2003, is a CSRE major with a focus
on International
Migrations. He is from Spring, Texas.
Orlando's goal is to seek and create community
through the arts at Stanford by promoting
collaborative art rather than individualistic,
competitive art. He has experience in
both visual and performing arts and has
produced and teched several art shows
and theater productions while at Stanford.
Last year Orlando designed and created
the installation "El Mojado"
- a life-sized diorama of an illegal alien
for El Centro Chicano’s annual Floricanto
Festival. The installation, which explored
the physical and psychological stereotypes
held about Mexican immigrants, "is
ultimately based on the fears about race
and space.” Orlando was formerly
President of Salsa!,
an on-campus dance group. Lately Orlando
has gotten in the habit of designing websites.

his homepage. Orlando will assist
bassist, Mark Izu in teaching Drama 110. |
Mia You,
Class
of 2002, is from Saratoga, CA and Seoul,
Korea. An English major concentrating
on 20th Century Poetry and Creative Writing,
she is also minoring in Political Science.
Mia has taken an active interest in the
arts for many years. She played the oboe
for seven years, taken private painting
and drawing lessons for four years, and
studied poetry writing both at Stanford
and Oxford Universities. Last year, Mia
was a Focus Assistant at Kimball Hall,
Stanford’s Arts Focus Dorm, and this
past summer she interned at the Korea
Literature Translation Institute in Seoul.
She is currently working on a project
to translate 20th Century Korean poetry
to English, funded by the Chappell-Lougee
Scholars Grant, and her honors thesis,
which studies the transformation of gender
into symbols in The Waste Land by T.S.
Eliot and The Wings by Lee Sang. Mia hopes
that through IDA students will be introduced
to and learn to appreciate art forms outside
of the “Stanford canon.” She
will assist performance artist Brenda
Wong Aoki in teaching Drama 110. |
